Today's thoughts are based around my good friend Karma and her best friend Fate. I will be the first to say that I have great luck, an amazing family, and have basically had a charmed life (a couple scraped knees, sure, but charmed nonetheless). But sometimes these crafty girls can surprise even me. A twist that came straight from Fate (or is it Karma?) happened on Wednesday. I emailed a floral wholesaler to see how to become a client on Tuesday of this past week. ((Last weeks flowers are featured on this post...soooo preppy, so cute, right?!?!?)) Well, I received a call back from a gal named Sylvia on Wednesday morning. Turns out, she and her husband Damon are friends from my high school days. They worked at a florist in Nebraska City and Damon made all my flowers for the dances. He did a ring and a bracelet made from Freesia for prom my Junior year, bands that tied around the top of my opera length gloves made of orchids for my Senior year prom, shoe-clips of some kind of purple flower for the holiday dance where I was crowned Queen (oooo, I love me a crown) and basically just did some crazy-beautiful stuff every dance I went to. He is freaky talented and I got to act has his temporary muse for three years (sheesh, I am a lucky girl). Anyway, they are creative, amazing and wonderful peeps, and Fate led me to them again. Not only do I get to be back in contact, but I also get to pick the brains of some serious flower people and I have a wholesaler! WOOT! I also started school this week. Floral Design (I am gonna LOVE THIS!!! homework is to make a color wheel and practice bows), Horticulture (can't wait to learn more about gardening), and Entrepreneurship 1050 (leap floral boutique, here I come!!!)
Please remember, comments are welcome!!! :)
