Floral arrangements are designed and assembled pairing interesting containers with a range of various floral elements from traditional to unusual. Wall pockets in metal and pottery are offered filled with florals or empty for you to fill. Elements as feathers, branches from the woods, sea whip from the beach are used in my arrangements. Beading is used to embellish some of the containers.
Custom work is always available- I can use your vessel or mine. Please call ahead for consultation.

EACH side of EACH pod is rubbed off revealing the delicate, translucent "money" inside! I hope you enjoy this wonder of nature as I.....
