What a wonderful country we live & love in, each month the calendar provides us with reasons to celebrate & create. We started the New Year off with a bang, now February
(looks like the ground-hog saw his shadow) Presidents Birthdays, and Valentines, a multitude of decorating ideas pop into my mind. Let us begin by selecting a wicker basket, fill bottom with assorted moss stones, with natural raffia made to droop over the edges, add pinecones along with basil or chocolate small twist cane, cut in different lengths pushed into the moss (to hold in place). To each twisty add a rolled-up Lincoln or Washington dollar bills in honor of their Birthdays. Present this money gift to your favorite Valentine or give to someone special. Speaking of Valentines, how about using the small, red celosia bundle, adding a red silk ribbon & bow, with a love note tucked inside the flowers. Place in a wood bowl, filled with red Hershey’s kisses. Talk about cupid’s arrow hitting its mark, HUGS and KISSES are yours to keep.
Wearing of the green (do not pinch) is March with St. Patrick Day celebrations, spring begins, the time change (ugh). Christians all over the country honor lent. Perfect time to create a bouquet for the church alter, using a copper pot filled with basil flax grass, basil pencil cattails, light green and natural wheat, using the cream colored Chinese Peony for the focal point.
April (hopefully bringing showers), do not be fooled. Mark your calendar for Palm Sunday, a perfect time to use green sun palm as a hand-out to each church member, as a reminder of Jesus’ love for us. Easter Sunday, present all the children with a bell cup filled with jelly beans on a bed of springerii green, glue a ribbon on each side, stick-on a bible verse (John three-16) to the outside of the cup. Give thanks & praise to GOD.
May brings us to Armed Forces Day, Mothers’ Day & Memorial Day, circled on our calendar. Let us hold dear with honor & remembrances to our veterans who so bravely fought and died for our freedom. Perfect time to bring out the flags and place them into a red, white, blue gypsy bloom arrangement in a terra cotta pot. Not to forget Moms, we could do an arrangement of combined pink and white parchment hydrangeas with boxwood leaves in a matte black square ceramic vase, finishing it with a coordinating colored bow
