    Beautiful Microcosms

    After reading yet another nouveau floral designer book, (I have to stop buying these), I decided to take stock of my design evolution. Specifically, is there any evidence of said evolution? Would I even recognize evolution amidst the overactive thoughts of self-judgement and critique? I am not sure, and is this ‘evolution’ even important or…

    Mini Ikebana

    Last fall, as there is each fall for the last 100 years, several small towns in Lancaster County have a street fair. The fair closest to where we are includes farm, flower arranging, growers, jam, quilt exhibits, among other disciplines. We saw that one of the categories for flower arranging was a miniature arrangement. We…
