South Gate Design Workshop: Centerpiece of Early Spring Blooms
You're invited!
Yes, you! We all have the creativity to make beautiful creations with flowers. We just need the time and place to discover it.
Join me plus other creatives and flower friends on Thursday, March 10th from 2:30-4:45 for an afternoon of playing with the loveliest of early blooming spring flowers.
After a short demonstration each student will create a garden style centerpiece.
All you need to bring is an open mind and a grand intention. The vessel, blooms and foliage will all be included; clippers and aprons will be provided. You will go home not only with a beautiful vessel with a romantic styled arrangement but also with the confidence that you can do this again at home!
Also included:
Photos of your arrangement -- sent to you in digital format. Light snacks ... to keep your creative juices flowing! No previous experience is necessary, all levels are welcome.
Class will be held in Myrtle Beach, SC. Location and directions will be provided at the time of enrollment.
Comments from the previous class:
"...beautifully executed from beginning to end,"
"...an excellent teacher..."
"...empowered us all to make great arrangements."
Full payment of $150 reserves your spot; spaces are limited. Payments accepted: Paypal, credit card or debit card. Due to the perishable nature of flowers no refunds or exchanges for future workshops are given. If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket for the March 10th workshop.

If you are a floral designer, gardener, landscaper or simply need a place to park your tools, your phone, pen and your keys; you need to order this well crafted and functional leather tool belt.
This tool belt keeps my tools right where I can find them and makes me look and feel like a BAD****! After a full year of use it still in great shape, looks clean and makes me really happy when I wear it! I anticipate wearing this belt for years to come.
Made in NC by Wheeler Munroe of Wheeler Munroe Leather.

Stuff these in your own stocking. These gloves allow dexterity and are tough enough to use pulling up stubborn weeds and vines.

This reminds me of a modern housecoat, that coat or cover your grandmother would throw over her fancy clothes to work in the kitchen before guests arrived. I plan to use it while arranging flowers! It is long, has a big front pocket, slips over the head and is made of European linen. A good look!

If you garden, haul potting soil around, pull weeds, trim hedges and generally do lots of physical labor--- order this. It is a necessity. If you often find your shoulders up around your ears---order this. Heck, get every stressed out member of the family one! It will ease the pain! LOL!

Whether rocking on the porch or making forts on a rainy day, these blankets are just the best. They last forever and you can pass them down to the next generation. I have one of my grandmother had.
Woolrich has been in business since 1830! Think about it, that is BEFORE the Civil War. Woolrich definitley made it past the "most businesses fail in the first five years" factoid.
There are so many plaids, stripes and colors from which to choose, I'd be shocked if you can limit yourself to just one wool blanket. Be sure to check out the Hudson Bay Collection.

Darla Moore's Moore Farm and Botanical Gardens is an amazing place to visit and to learn. Programs and educational events are for all ages.
I attended a fascinating class on herbs, with an emphasis on medicinal herbs, a few months ago and it was a great learning experience with like minded "garden folks." Give the gift of learning. Check out their events page.

All of the handmade ceramics by Frances Palmer are gorgeous!!! I have followed her work for years and it was love at first sight. I know you and I (not so subtle hint) would love to find anything by Frances Palmer under the tree!
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
