Flowers fascinate me and thrill me.
I love silk flowers, real flowers, plants and trees.
I love looking at flowers in a flowerbed as I drive by a well-manicured lawn or in a field of wild flowers that bloom yellow, purple, or red that I see often in the spring.
And I love working with flowers, creating new designs and giving them away to my friends and family Walking into a store where silk flowers are on display for sale and I will stop every time to see any new design and make my purchase.
Designing floral arrangements give me as much pleasure and contentment as just looking.
I shop many different stores for my flowers.
I choose quality products although I also shop with price in mind.
The higher price flower does not necessarily mean a better flower; it just means a high price.
So shop wisely and compare prices.
Flowers have a soothing effect on people, as it has been a proven statement by studies at universities.
People waking up to see a vase of fresh or silk flowers on a dresser will divulge in the delight they bring all day.
That satisfactory and peaceful feeling will carry them through the day.
I have proven this to myself and placed a vase of silk flowers on my dresser just to see what effect it has had on my day.
I am pleased to announce that the peaceful and contented feeling I started my day with was as dazzling at the end of my day as it was at the beginning.
Before creating a flower arrangement, you first should take the following steps.
• Know where you want to place your finished project.
I love looking for new placements by visualizing.
• Is it a big arrangement you are visualizing for a tabletop or a smaller one for a vanity or kitchen counter? • What is your color theme in that area? You will want to coordinate flower colors with the room as well as container size, color and shape.
• Now you are ready to shop.
Choose the store you will shop at and have fun.
Once you start creating your designs and working with flowers your confidence will grow as will your display in your home.
You too will share your arrangements with family and friends to the envy of all.
Visualizing is the key to beginning a new project.
See your finished product in your minds eye.
Browse through the flower shops, see what is on display, and visualize you crating that same piece.
It is within all of us to see a finish product and if at first you do not see than keep at it for it is in the redoing and recreating that makes a master.
