Today was our terrarium workshop!
What a success and so much fun! Two very special and wonderful friends, Jennifer & Ami, came by to photograph it for an online tutorial (coming soon!). Aside from the fun of building the terrarium, it was a perfect way to begin the morning. So many came in to create, we are already thinking about the next one! We’re looking at lots of teeny, itty bitty succulents, so you can create a little variety in your vase. And, we will encourage you to bring your own vessels as well.
We’re also planning a few other walk-in crafty days at Fleur! Such as making Mom her own sweet lil’ corsage for Mother’s Day complete with flowers, feathers and plumes. Perhaps forcing spring bulbs at home inside. Anything you would like us to teach you?
It has been a very in-store week for us. Lots of pretty things being delivered. Ordering Valentine’s Day flowers. Meetings with clients. It’s been creative week, even though the droning cloudiness managed to get the best of me one day.
Also, last night I went to the Siskel theater to watch an incredible movie with an incredible friend (and my acupuncturist). For those of you who know of my love of honey, it’s no surprise to you that I fell in love with the movie Queen of the Sun, which I highly recommend. A quirky yet serious documentary regarding honeybees and ultimately agriculture. Don’t let the crazy, dancing bee lady scare you aware, she had nothing at all to do with the film. You’ll fall in love with the whimsical french beekeeper, and learn a thing or two as well. You can buy the BEST honey in the world from the Honeycoop.

Side note, if you need an acupuncturist let me know & I’ll pass along her digits. She is fantastic and her office is in Logan Square.
Hope you’re enjoying the weekend!

The reports are calling for snow showers tonight, but who really knows. I’d love to wake up tomorrow to a palette of white and the smell of frosty snowflakes in the air. It’s much better than the tiring, grey, dismal days we’ve had. In addition to dirty snow on the ground, WHERE IS THE SUNSHINE? Normally I prefer an overcast afternoon, but this cloudiness is messing with my schedule. I have had WAY too much to do and the darkness makes me tired! Someone told me that Chicago has just as many cloudy days as Seattle, and I’m anxious to look that up & see if it’s true.
~~~
So we’re trying to help with those winter blues a little. Starting with tomorrow’s wedding which I’ll post about next week.
~~~
And our terrarium workshop on January 29th!
~~~
This is the first little weekend event of many we have planned for 2011. They’re open all day long during business hours. Walk in, see a mock up, listen to a brief demo, and voila! Start making! Prices begin at $20.00 to make your own lil’ terrarium. We plan on some others such as making your own hand tied bouquet, how to make a boutonniere, springtime bulbs, and we’re taking suggestions. What would YOU like to see?

This year is really looking positive. I’m so geeked out with literally every single one of our clients so far! And fun additional projects here and there. Such as the Macy’s Flower Show, which you’ll see us at again. Shhh…. I’m terrible at keeping surprises. Secrets, yes. Surprises no. For example this afternoon I saw a jar of old man candy I knew Davey would love. That buttery hard candy, totally old fashioned and it’s handmade. I was planning on leaving it out for him so he would find it when he came home from work, but no. As soon as I walked in he asked what I picked up at the grocery market and I said, “Salad greens and rye bread.” P A U S E ”And I bought you a surprise jar of candy!!!!!!” Christ, get ahold of yourself Kelly.
Anyway.., Look at that peony. Sigh… Sometimes springtime brides tell me that they don’t like peonies and I tell them flat out that they are out of their minds.

Oh, and hey. Frosty Weddings also loves Susan & Robert. Jeez, you guys are famous!
