monday updates and flower class with Sunday Suppers

[or; post where in I shamelessly attempt to pass off a student's work as my own]



Things are hectic as usual. I was supposed to tell you about my mid-summer revelations, and I will eventually - but let me tie you over by sharing my latest purchase which was a yellow polka dot bikini from target, 1 size too small. because you try and buy a bathing suit mid-season. and so what if my cheeks hang out, as one of my interns says about life - you only go around once..



We worked on a wedding at Buttermilk Falls in Milton NY this weekend, and it was beautiful - tomato reds and ivories and grapevine gallore and cafe lights. Susan put us up for the weekend, fed us chicken Tiki, peach cobbler and of course the post wedding martini. it always ends the same.



Before that I taught a little private lesson with a lovely lady from California - here to intern over at Pies and Thighs. She whipped up this little masterpiece with chocolate sunflowers, juliet roses, crabapple, etc...the best thing about teaching flower arranging is stealing ideas from students. I feel this particular peach/brown/blush pallette is destined to debut in a wedding soon...

--->>>LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY<<<--- Our friends at Sunday Suppers still have a few spots left in this Sunday's class, the Ladies Lunch

Three reasons you need to sign up right away:

1. NICOLETTE AND I WILL BE THERE TEACHING A LITTLE FLOWER LESSON!
YOU WILL GET TO MAKE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH SUMMER WILDFLOWERS!!!

2. THE JEWELS OF NY WILL BE THERE TEACHING YOU HOW TO MAKE FRIED SQUASH BLOSSOMS FILLED WITH HERBS AND RICOTTA among other menu items

3. YOU GET TO EAT THE RICOTTA STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOMS AT THE END!!!

I'm so hungry right now
