Favorite Whimsical Bouquets

Françoise — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:04:08 +0000

These bouquets are structured differently than hand-tieds and they are all about detail. Time consuming to make, but a lot of fun!

Magical Hellebore

Françoise — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:11:53 +0000

Last week the first hellebore started to bloom in the garden. This exquisite winter flowering plant is such a treasure, especially at this time of the year… and it is such a treat that they bloom for months. Hellebores are difficult to come by at the flower market, so I've planted a lot of them in the garden. Once that they have hardened off, they do really well as a cut flowers, as well in vase arrangements as in foam.

Bridal Show in the Wine Country

Françoise — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:23:30 +0000

Last week I participated in "Tour d'Brides", a bridal show that was fabulously organized by Becky with No Ordinary Affair. The Mansion at the Bayou in McMinneville was one of the four venues that participated in the show. Thank you Irmi for providing such a great setting. Many thanks to Erica, with Erica Ann Photography, for the great pictures!
