On my online workbook this week: Let’s circle around to this one

Dear

This week's inspiration is a fresh Fall breeze.

My tip for you is also about a bit of fresh air. The flower stems suspend the heavy tiny ghost pumpkin above the water level to keep it fresh and out of standing water but you also need to allow fresh air to flow around the design to prevent it from spoiling. So… yes, the pumpkin looks all cute and everything positioned at a jaunty angle but I also placed it like that for another reason: airflow. Position the pumpkin so that there are gaps all around to ensure sufficient airflow and to prevent condensation inside the vase.

I have a bit more information for you about preventing that fuzzy mold found on plant material in my book. Turn to page 98.

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine

ps: I am so happy to hear from everyone reading my book- it seems to be finding it's way to all over the world! And I can not even begin to express how much I value this feeling of connection and how inspired I am every time I hear that it is bringing you some comfort and joy especially this year. There was a recent spike in sales and I know, without a doubt, that it is because you guys are sharing the book and telling your flower friends about The Effortless Floral Craftsman and for that I say a HUGE thank you.
