Flowers of Christmas Past

I thought I would write a more cheerful blog about my Christmas flower arrangements. Those of you who know me well will know I have been going to a flower group for a year now and so this Christmas I was determined to practice my new skills. Hope you like them……….

Such beautiful arrangements - you are clever, Linda. That's another thing I haven't been able to find pout here - oasis. Another thing to bring back on Ryanair!

Well, what a reaction!!! Thanks everyone. The flower arranging is a cross between gardening and painting. I have always been a fan of Christmas and as you can see we live in a Victorian house that lends itself to that old fashioned Christmas look. My class starts again in a weeks time ending on an Easter theme. Thanks again for the encouragement. :o))))))

look forward to seeing more linda and especially easter ones, :o)

I particularly like the silver, white and green arrangement with the candle glass. I hope you don't mind if I pinch a few of your ideas, Linda. I spent ages gathering and spraying silver teazels and seed heads and pine cones, then found I didn't have the oasis to put them into an arrangement, but they'll keep 'til next year!

They are beatuiful displays of flowers Linda and love the Christmas tree.

You can usually buy oasis from flower shops. We buy a box between us as it works out cheaper. I keep most of it to use each year then just add the fresh greenery from the garden Gattina. I do find I have more to put away each year.....I wonder why!! :o)))) Thanks 6d.

6 Jan, 2012
Thanks Linda I use to do flower arranging for people yes to buy in bulk is cheaper, he he I wonder why you have more and more each year, hard to throw out what you like is nt it.
