Hi Hannah,

I'll bring it to the course next week. I'll PM my email address to you. I'm definitely going to pop along, could you reserve two tickets for me please? I'll pm my real name at the same time.

Cheers

Hello everyone,

Hope to see some of you later on today! The first 100 people to arrive will receive a free goody bag.

It starts at 2pm and there should be plenty of signs directing you to the marquee.

Hi,

I really enjoyed the demo’s too. I can’t believe the amount of material the sponsors provided.

I wasn’t lucky enough to win anything in the raffle but if I had, I’d have gone for the wedding bouquet Deny made during the second half (the one with the skeleton leaves).

I’d have liked to have known more about the construction of the pieces. It was a shame that Deny wasn’t keen on the microphone as her work was quite intricate and I’d have loved to have known more about how she was putting things together.

I’m only on a foundation course and I haven’t used Oasis glue before. When I looked closely at the headdress Deny made it did seem very secure, however instinctively I’m not sure I’d trust just glue without wiring. Do the UK florists use glue without wiring as much as Deny and Bert did? Next time I’m at country baskets I’ll definitely be picking a pot of glue up to begin my experimentation!

thanks potty what fab designs I love those heliconia and the vanda orchid bouquet, why are brides so conservative these days, there are so many lovely flowers and styles out there!! Who organised this demo? Nothing happens round my way, feels like years since I went to a floristry dem.
