creative gifts

 Simply roses was H.'s solution to the many holiday something-somethings we have to come up with each year. For each school teacher, co-worker and lucky friend she created a beautiful and unique arrangement of roses in a vase. In just two hours her very creative hands transformed 325 roses in plastic buckets to 14 beautiful arrangements, stricking combinations, complete with gold ribbon. Notice the wonderful dozen and a half red freedoms in a tall fluted vase - wonderful accomplishment for someone starting out doing her own flower arranging.

the wow effect

every once in a while a combination of flowers comes together that is simple and flawless, interesting and very real. this thanksgiving it was the way the 'mumbo' roses and the mini fuchsia callas opened simultaneously and in complement, the perfection and shine of the english ivy and the 'summer meadow' look of the wheat that gave this bouquet its exclusive, delicious and timeless look.
