Just wanted to share a few photos. Enjoy!

I received the nicest email from a friend's mom who bought a vase from me last month. It reads:
"I wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed our natural stone creation. The flowers you gave us the day we bought it lasted a long time and were so beautiful. Then I received several flower bouquets from my students the last days of school. I put a few in the stone creations and the rest in vases. As the bouquets diminished, I would save a few nice blooms to put in the stone. Each group of flowers in the stone lasted quite awhile. We just threw the last ones out today. It makes it so easy for me to create a beautiful arrangement. I really like it.

Thank you and good luck with future sales."

I am so glad she liked it and love to see others get as much joy out of displaying their flowers in my vases as I do!

Today I am preparing for tonight's Last Friday event. I have made some small flower arrangements to give with the vases so that folks can begin to enjoy their piece right away. So much fun!

My first sale and a new item--plantholders!

How exciting it was. My neighbor, who is a great entrepreneur, bought a candle holder! The next day, I sold two to another neighbor and then seven at the Hillsborough Last Fridays! I think that is a spectacular start, for sure.

The Last Friday's event was lots of fun. I was nervous, of course, but once I got in the swing of it, I relaxed and enjoyed talking with people. I was pretty happy with my display. I 'm so glad I thought of putting the electric candle holders out because around 9, it really started getting dark and I was not near a street light. The candles added a nice glow to the table and made it stand out. I don't think I'm going to put as many stones on my display next time, since I think it was a bit overwhelming for some. I have signed up for the next 4 Last Friday events, so am looking forward to them.

This week I started making plant holders. I am using a slightly bigger bit and thus making a larger hole, and planting a small plant--ivy, herbs, etc. in the saucer. I love them and hope others will too.
