Bouquets to Art!

Wow! It has really been a while since you've heard from me.  I've been super busy, sick with several colds, sinus stuff, tummy, etc. 

But I'm still here!  The holidays went well--I'm happy to say we finished off the year with a bang!  I went on break up so the snow in Tahoe to ski/snowboard with my family between Christmas and New Year.  It was a very short trip, but we really enjoyed it.

Just before Christmas though I had an interesting and surprising visitor!  Can you believe Mr. Anthony Ward wanted to meet with me to try and coordinate a collaboration while he was in town working on his book Being with Flowers.  How exciting is that? What? You don't know who he is? Well just check out his link above, and you'll find out.  I read about him several years ago on how he was knocking the socks off Santa Cruz with his unique and highly sylize- it reminds me of 'bohemian' floral design.  It's really cool stuff. So we met and met again, and tried to collaborate but just couldn't make it happen while the short time he was in town, I was knee-deep in stuff, and he ended up leaving up to Seattle early, then off to India.  I'm thankful to have made his acquantance, and I really feel fortunate he contacted me and gave me his 'thumbs' up so to speak.  He thinks I need to hand my hat on a higher rack--in other words, where are those really cool-big blow out events? Need a floral designer?  Well here goes- with the help of Anthony making a call to a 'contact' at San Francisco's Fine Arts Museums- I'm not sure what he said about me, but it had to be good.  I sent in my portfolio and resume for exhibitor approval at the Bouquets to Art 2008

And guess what I got approved! I went up today for the selection process. Boy that was hard.  I felt inspired by numerous pieces.  What an incredible museum- I love it! All that wonderful art surrounding me it gets me all giddey- all that beauty, history, mystery, and MONEY! Wow!  Who know's what piece I'll get- I'm at the bottom of the totem pole, but hey, I'll be there! I am not in the exhibitors list because of my late entry, but that's quite alright.  More to follow on this...
