Chintz

I am too lazy to go out in the pouring Florida rain to get a Blip so I will use a work photo to fill in and in doing so tell you more than you can possibly want to know about another facet of my ancient and pathetic life. Ahhh - well, how do I start this confession... Wonderfully, the couple I work for have come to trust me to do many things within my limited range of talents. One in that small diversity is party flowers. Well, there the "cat" is out of the bag. I know it is hard to believe I can be that sweet but.. I just love farting around with flowers from huge arrangements (the house is beautifully massive, so I can get away with colossal creations that would dwarf most domestic room settings) with my live orchid plants (it does get to look a bit like an installation at Kew) to little bouquets of field flowers. Pictured is a detailed section of a table bouquet. The title comes from the printed Indian calico fabric about which every good curator of decorative arts can tell you yards of information.
