Connie's Flowers in Tribeca Today

As usual, I'm exhausted but have had such fun with these flowers. I went to 28th Street -- to my favorite guys, United -- yesterday, but my fresh gladiolas and lilys had barely opened even this morning, so I didn't start working with them until noon today. I always like it when someone, upon seeing one of my floral creations, says, "no one does anything like you do."  Of course that could be good or bad.  But I think my work is creative and fun, but is also warm and inviting.  See the arrangements from today. One was created for a champagne tasting hosted by Vestry Wines at John Allan's Club.  I'll write more tomorrow about the humour and hazards of floral work.
