STRETCHING YOUR HOLIDAY DECORATING BUDGET
John Klingel “The Frugal Florist”
John will present some fun and simple ideas on how you can progress from Thanksgiving to New Years using the same basic design structure and mechanics in a floral design. John will offer suggestions on the best finds in thrift shops, yard sales and consignment boutiques for those one-of-a-kind containers. He will demonstrate how to create a floral arrangement that will transition through the holidays.
