A year ago the River Oaks Garden Club in Houston invited me to do a presentation on Woodlands & Botanical Couture and teach a jewelry workshop. I was very excited and honored to have this opportunity to share a lot of information with the members of this Garden Club -which dates back to 1927 and was admitted into the Garden Club of America  9 years later.

Late morning I arrived in Houston and after a delicious lunch we went to Mayesh where we bought a fantastic selection of flowers and textures.The next morning I did a power point presentation and in the afternoon about 20 members came to class to learn mechanics of botanical jewelry. They created beautiful rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

Thank you Oasis for your generous sponsorship and thank you Maudie for taking some of these pictures!
