mothers day class

Looking at these photo's now makes me miss lilac and crabapple blossoms like crazy...we're already using crabapple fruit in the studio this week. Time flies...



Half of this class consisted of a family of 5 women, a mother, her three daughters and her sister. All from Brooklyn. Another mother-daughter team from California and one lovely lady from Salt Lake City, Utah. The arrangements these women made were incredible...



We had two last minute cancellations and so we invited both our mother's to attend. Turns out Irene and Susan are both flower mavens. In fact I kept them after class for an extra credit assignment - putting them to work on some Saipua orders for the next day!





...Nothing like waiting till father's day to show you mother's day. We've been busy. Nicolette and I are hard at work with weddings and also planning new classes for Summer, plus a special collaboration with Sunday Suppers - details to come soon...

la la lilac

Fun evening class in April with all sorts of lilac...a distant, fragrant memory!

spring flowers 101 class results...

This was a night class devoted to spring flowers. We played with different types of daffodils, spirea, astrantia, hyacinth, fritillaria, geranium, muscari, hellebores, tulips, queen anne's lace, goosenecks, and lots more to create large organic looking arrangements in stone urns. So fun...

Looking at these photos makes me miss the spring, it's 80 degrees in NYC today, and I don't do well in heat (and neither do my flowers!!)...
