wreath making with chums

 I am always wary of calling too many things the "best day ever" but this does merit it! Look at those smiles! says it all really.

the wreath making class at the Smiddy Blair Drummond was the brilliant idea of lovely Kim. What we didnt know at the time was that lovely Jo (center in the pic above) would be moving back down south to be closer to family soon. We are so chuffed for Jo, but we are a little sad for us, but we will just have to arrange other get togethers!

The class was run by Bramble and Thyme flowers and what a fab teacher Fiona was. It was all in the marquee outside, which had plenty natural ventilation (hence our snazzy cozy outfits!) so I felt very safe.

The class was half a day which was just right, we got tea and coffee and the biggest piece of shortbread I have ever seen!

The picture above shows all our wreaths together, mine at the top, Jos at the left (with hessian bow, really pretty) and Kims to the right (green bow at the bottom of the wreath, loved that idea, will use it when i make another)

Fiona advised not to put too much 'extra' things in, like the oranges, the flowers etc. I agree these looks fabulous and dont need any extra bling really, the foliage speaks for itself. Eucalyptus leaves which smelled amazing and so many other pieces of natural foilage, loved it.

Above is Jos in a bit more detail

Above is Kims in more detail, we all used much the same materials but they are all unique.

And finally below is mine hung up outside the house. Looks as if it was made for it! Which it was. In these strange times we find new ways of enjoying ourselves and I think I  am more grateful for things i may have taken for granted before, this was a special day, totally love it.
