Birthday Bouquets for Partygoers

And Flowers Pittsburgh is a local small business. Thursday evening I met Karen Toole, who along with a team of seven, arranged more than 75 bouquets of colorful flowers for the occasion!

Everyone got to take home a pretty bouquet that adorned my friend’s birthday celebration.

I learned you can host a flower arranging party for 5-10 friends or attend a floral design class in their studio.

The gift of flowers

From my neighbor. She got them at the Farmer’s Market today. I’d given some knitting help. What a gorgeous autumn bouquet. I put the flowers in my vintage hammered aluminum pitcher.

Thank you Cathy

Silk, Paper, Nature

Three types of fall flowers for decoration were near my DIL’s table in Ohio when I was visiting.

Silk, paper, nature.

Her mother created the paper flower bouquet with her Cricut for a gorgeous birthday card.
