Sympathy Gifts for a Fallen Master Sargent Marine's Loved Ones

It's not often, but on occasion I have been asked to work on floral arrangements to give as sympathy gifts. A couple weeks ago, one of our dear friends, who is a Master Sargent Marine lost another fellow Master Sargent Marine, who was killed in action by an IED. David asked me if I would be willing to create some pieces for his friend's grieving fiance and two little girls. I was happy to do this for this fallen Marine's family, who are missing him and are grieving his loss. No matter what you believe about the military, one thing our family believes is that these men and women sacrifice their lives to protect our freedoms and all that we hold true. We are forever grateful for their service and their ultimate sacrifice.

Our deepest sympathies go out to this Master Sargent Marine's family and we hope that these flowers will always remind them of all the wonderful memories they shared with him.

Loving These Mini Teapots = Great Floral Designs

I've been trying to focus the last couple of days on new designs for the upcoming Garden Art Party in San Diego area next month with zenatona. It's always challenging to think up new designs. Part of that comes with finding the right container to use to showcase my clay flowers. I found these super cute mini teapots and thought they would be a great compliment to the flowers.These would make super tea party favors or decorations for a tea party theme.
So last night I started some mini ranunculus and when it turned out cute this morning I decided to make some other ones as well. There are still more coming, but for now, I thought I would share some that I made this morning.
Tomorrow I will be redirecting my attention to a photoshoot concept I've been asked to participate on and then back to my orders. Once my orders are complete, I can start creating more pieces for the Garden Art Party.
