So, at left, the base for the holiday arrangement. We are going to use sand, but you will note we have opted for a Lomey dish instead of the gold charger. (I told you there would be changes.) The charger is wider, but the Lomey dish has a lip which makes it easier to keep the pine cones which will ring the arrangement in position; otherwise, the Flower Lady would have to teach the class how to wire the cones together, and we only have two hours. (Thanks, by the way, to our old neighbors who graciously leave a sack of beautiful pine cones on our porch each autumn.)
Above, the flowers, already neatly packed by the FL, are carnations, mini-carns, Matsumoto asters, and poms. The FL had a pack of beautiful burgundy roses at the wholesaler, but she decided on carnations because they last longer, and she was hoping her class would thus be able to keep their arrangements longer into the Christmas season.
Wish us luck!
