I have heard it said so many times… how lucky I am to be a designer…because of all
the resources I have at my finger tips, that the general public doesn’t have access to,
it must make it so easy to put things together.
While this is true, I like to believe my ” luck” is a keen eye to detail and knowing where
and how to look is how to put the “icing on the cake”.
Albert Hadley’s quote above really resonates with me because it validates my feeling- that things don’t have to always take
a lot of money to design or decorate a room. It does, however, take a good eye
to find and see that special “sumpin’ sumpin'”…. despite the quality of the
piece, the place that it was found or the preconception it does not have the proper pedigree.
This is where a good designer does their job. In reality they can really save you money on your project and make your space
something unique, special and enhance your lifestyle.
As my dad taught me a long time ago, you can find a “treasure” ANYWHERE!
Happy Words For The Day. . .

Below are there tips to having your own flower potluck…
1. Make sure you have plenty of shears/scissors and buckets or vases on hand. It’s also nice to have some twine or ribbon for making little hand bouquets to bring to a friend.
2. Clear a table for all your flowers and greenery; order by shape, color, size, variety, scent—whatever makes the most sense to you.
3. The rules are: There are no rules. Some like to make really wild, frenzied bouquets; some like to make prim and proper posies. Let everyone pick their fancy and go with it. Flowers are personal.
4. One bit of helpful advice: Cut the stems at an angle for more water absorption and cut the leaves off the end of stems (anything below the waterline). This will keep your arrangements fresher for longer.
5. Now that everyone’s had their fill of flowers, enjoy a simple meal together with your bouquets strewn about. No need for anything fancy—your flowered setting will bring charm to your meal no matter how mundane.
