Thursday Flower Club

Regular readers will know that I have been going to the Thursday Flower Club on the first Thursday of every month since it started in August last year. If you fancy trying it out then make sure you book as classes are very popular.

This is the arrangement I created yesterday.  We were given instruction to keep our flowers within an L shape.  Pretty happy with how this turned out.  This would looking lovely placed on a mantle on the corner of a mirror.  Maria always provides the freshest of flowers and most of the arrangements last well into a second week as long as you remember to top up the water supply.

April

March - Daffodil workshop as I missed the Thursday Club

February - wiring flowers

December - table decoration

Wreath making workshop

November - dried heads and foliage

October - abundance - my favourite one

September - hedge line

August - bento box

The Lodge Flower and Craft School do a range of really interesting workshops and I plan to try out a few.  Its particularly good as the school is based in my village so only a walk away. 

They also run a really good bed and breakfast there too, so if you fancy a night away before a  workshop or just a weekend away in a lovely location its the perfect place.  Hemingford Grey also boast the pub of the year The Cock which is a very short walk from The Lodge.  So all in all the perfect venue, close to Cambridge too

All about flowers

We arrived back from France yesterday, and today I have been on a flower arranging workshop in the village.  So good to have a venue close to home - The Lodge Flower and Craft School. They are doing a Thursday Flower Club, which I decided to try out.

We were a small group just 5 ladies, today's project was to arrange in a Bento box.  It was a fun project, I've never done any flower arranging classes so wasn't sure what to expect, but this appealed to me.  We all did something different with our boxes and flowers provided.  The workshop runs from 10-12 with a coffee break - cake from Tom's too.

So here are some photos of my efforts, I'm pretty pleased with it even if I say so myself.  What do you think?

I love the bamboo

I'll definitely be going again.

BTW I went and sorted out the previous post, removed the duplicates and added a few more photos
