More Hot Pink Flower Purses
Last week, while I was making the flower purses for the Schoolhouse Supply event, Ginger Coombs – camera in hand – came by for a visit.
Here are some of the pictures that she took. Thank you Ginger!
Hot Pink Flower Purses!
Last Friday Schoolhouse Supplies, an organization that connects members of the community with students in over 130 schools throughout the Portland Public School district, had it’s annual fundraiser at the Portland Art Museum. The fundraiser was a huge success!!!!
It was a pleasure to sponsor the flowers for this special event. Joni Shimabukuro and Andie Petkus were the photographers extraordinaires!
Fun purses for the bistro tables
Fairy Garden
A couple of weeks ago I was asked to donate a woodland arrangement for an event that HPSO ( Hardy Plant Society of Oregon) had organized and it was specified to use as much possible from the garden. As my garden offers very little at this time of the year, I also got some treasures from my friend Joy’s garden and further supplemented with snippets from houseplants and bark, lichens, mushrooms etc… When several people commented that the arrangement looked like a fairy garden, the comment made me smile – the name just may stick….
