mother’s day floral workshop

On Sunday, May 13th the Living Fresh Flower School taught a Mother’s Day Floral Workshop to a group of 6 talented women. As Mother’s Day surprises two of the students brought their Moms to class for some floral fun! We also had our youngest student ever, instructor Deb’s sweet 9 year old daughter.

For this floral workshop Deb and I hand picked a selection of purple, green and white flowers for the student to play with in clear glass urns.

Here is the list of flowers we used in the pieces:

  • L.A. Lily, white with a hint of green
  • Roses, white with a hint of green
  • Carnations, white
  • Hydrangea, white
  • Waxflower, white
  • Mini Hydrangea, green
  • Spider Mum, green
  •  Hypericum Berries, green
  •  Commercial Mum, purple
  •  Tulips, purple
  • Freesia, purple
  • Anemone, purple
  • Silver Dollar Eucalyptus
  • Dusty Miller
  • Salal

All 6 students created wonderful floral pieces:

For our next flower class we are having a Garden Party! The party is on Sunday, May 27th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Button Factory in Uptown Waterloo. For more information and to register please go to our website or call us at 519-573-9039.

Figured Oak Sideboard

This sideboard, with its lovely figured oak veneer, rosette mounts and carved legs, was my Nana’s. She always called it the Divorce Case, not sure why? When she moved out of her big old multi-bedroom house into a condo years ago the sideboard was given to my Dad. When my parents moved it ended up in my possession.

The piece needs some repair and to be refinished, which I will get around to one day. Currently missing from it is a mirror that attaches to the back, the mirror has been broken for years.

It is a piece that I will never part with as it has too much sentimental value now that my Nana is gone. It is a reminder of day gone by.

It currently resides in our dining room.
