This gorgeous vase passed down through my family rarely gets used because it’s enormous, which makes it the perfect holiday centerpiece.
I created this overflowing beauty from Trader Joe’s flowers. I started with a small bouquet that I was drawn to and built off of that, adding small bundles of greens and flowers to create the overall look. I enjoyed selecting and arranging the flowers—they make me feel a spark of joy with every glance. I especially love the peonies. Since my garden is dying and my seasonal depression is kicking in, these lovely flowers are exactly the bright spot I need.

That’s a very nice arrangement Grabriana, recall that I taught floral design at Watsonville High for several decades and shared my work with lots of teachers. Best to you!

How cool!!! I’ve never taken a class outside of watching a bit of MasterClass. And I paid attention while watching a flower-arranging reality show a while back. Best to you too!
