At our garden club meeting this month we had a design program. I always love these programs as the speaker makes design look so easy. And, I guess it is if you don't stress about what it is you're trying to design. My favorite was this very traditional bouquet. Flowers included stunning white peonies, hydrangeas, heather, iris and more. It was just beautiful in this all white vase.
Speaking of design, our club is getting ready for our bi-annual standard flower show with this year's theme "Summer's Magic". I love to participate in these shows and I'm always amazed at all the talent we have in our club. The designs are fresh, modern, eclectic and fun. And to see someone's interpretation of the theme is always exciting. I'm not sure I will be participating this year as I may be out of town. Usually when I get the flower show schedule, visions just start jumping around in my head and I lose sleep until I decide which section and class I want to pursue. And then I start practicing and playing with the theme until my family starts shaking their head at me in that "here she goes again" way. It's really fun, except sometimes I think I put too much thought into it. And the ribbons you receive are great too, pushing you on to design more.
Oh well, my summer magic will be leaving town on my own flying carpet and enjoying myself where ever my travels take me. I'll have illusions of fairy dust and the mystique of that old black magic will have me in its spell as I wave my magic wand and "poof" I'll be somewhere fun and exciting.
