The Artful Arrangers

The last meeting was a ton of fun what with the pot swap, tea tasting, yummy noshes, 5 guests and the main event – “Art in Bloom”. The Artful Arrangers, a.k.a our own talented members, was brought to you by the Design Committee. Thanks to Connie for all her hard work on coordinating this event. There were 7 inventive and very different vignettes of cherished objects and arrangements, which were presented by the makers. Here are some snaps. (I have to apologize for failing to get a shot of Lynda’s wonderful “Singing in the Rain” display. She had a song and dance and everything! Please don’t hate me. If someone else got a shot, send it along and I’ll post it separately.)
