My Southern Gentleman Husband and I were invited to dinner by our dear friends Dirk and Josine this weekend. I brought this meandering centerpiece, partially to honor Steve Jobs, but also because I know that Josine adores apples. The tulips are a nod to our hosts' Dutch roots and I chose acorns because Josine's maiden name means oak tree. The winter berries? Just because.
It was a wonderful evening catching up with each other over wine, a gourmet home-cooked meal, and thought-provoking conversation. Thank you Dirk and Josine, we cherish your friendship.
This is absolutely beautiful, and truly a work of art. I have never seen anything quite like it. Really stunning!
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing friend to bring such magnificent creations. The art of flowers is not lost on you!
ReplyDeleteYou are the absolute best. It is a zen garden, a nod to autumn and to winter, and spring that follow. You added the winter berries because the arrangement needed them! Brilliant.

Dear lisa,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Apples seemed to be the perfect choice for this evening.
Dear Patricia,
ReplyDeleteI love creating with flowers, especially if it's for dear friends. Thank you.
Oh I love your arrangement, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDear Ruth,
ReplyDeleteI'm blushing at your praise. Thank you.
I can't believe I found something to wear in such a short period of time. It was all a bit hurried, but fun nevertheless.
Dear Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Absolutely gorgeous, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteDear Sue A

OMG. No wonder you go to all those posh floral exhibitions, DB! You truly are something else.
