This was the final Workshop for 2010 and what a fantastic day we all had, the weather was perfect, the setting sublime and an absolutely great bunch of people to work with....
The fresh foliages and berries were arranged outside for easy selection and to look stunningly festive for Jonny Draper photographer extrodinaire to photograph them
The ladies and gentlemen were eager to get started
Everyone appeared to be having a great time
The work benches were already set up with scissors, aprons, gloves, bin bags and the all imortant Blue Spruce
Halina and her lovely Mum Yolanta
The size issue, small one or a big one? you decide...
Then we were off, snipping and stripping...
Katarina was on hand offering assistance
Jonny's Mum & Dad
There in the background you can just about spot the lovely Tom Harrington from Silk Wedding Videos and the sensational Emma Draper Make up artist to the stars, (thank you so much for your help Emma)
Once all of that foliaging was completed it was time for lunch prepared by With a Twist
The dining room was dressed with some lovely Flower Design table centrepieces
And we were all entertained by the incredible "Brothers of Swing"
Time for a final mince pie before getting back to the very serious business of wreath making
Many thanks to the Rebecca Clarke for organising such a splendid event for Browsholme Hall
Dried Oranges and Cinnamon all wired up and ready
Lots of bows to be made
