I've been busy creating a bunch of new pieces for the craft fair. I finished 4 additional arrangements today. Two of them are phaleanopsis orchid arrangements that are simple yet stunning. Who doesn't want orchids that don't wilt or die. I have such a hard time keeping flowers alive let alone orchids. My longest success with an orchid is the last one my husband and son bought me which I kept alive for 3 months and that's being gone 1 week without watering it. But alas it too met the same fate.
Since we learned how to make the phaleanopsis orchid during our C3 workshops, I thought it would be great to introduce these little gems at the craft fair! I'm really happy with the way they turned out.
I also decided to practice my dog roses as well after C3 and incorporated them with white freesia that I had left over from the last bouquet order. I arranged them in these super cute paisley shaped ceramic vases.
More arrangements tomorrow, but for now, enjoy the eye candy!

I finally finished all the pieces that I'm going to be able to do for the craft fair on Saturday. I made 5 arrangements with hydrangeas in them with a mixture of colors.
I made a few more phaleanopsis orchid pieces as well. One of my colleagues kept telling me how great my deep pink orchids looked yet I didn't make any so I guess she was trying to tell me something. :)
Lastly, I had to make a gift a former client of mine wanted to give to her mom who is undergoing surgery for breast cancer. So it inspired me to make another one but in different colors. I love the ranunculus and plum blossom combination!
