A Visit with Sue

Last week I visited my friend Sue at her shop, Sue's Floral Art. She has an array of Christmas decorations and some other lovely creations. Sue really is an artist and can make a beautiful arrangement in minutes. I had my grandchildren, Brooke and Wade, with me. She let each select an ornament.

I thought that maybe a visit to Sue's would inspire me to start working on decorations. I had wanted to do my tree in a Victorian theme. I just can't seem to get motivated this year. Last week our daughter, Stephanie, spent a day shopping with me and helped me select slippers and pajamas for the younger grandchildren. I always get each a game or toy also. In fact, usually I have almost all of my shopping done at this time of year. I also bake dozens and dozens of cookies. I haven't even thought about those yet (until just now). I hope that I see so many beautiful things in Colonial Williamsburg that I come home rejuvenated.

This lovely fried flower arrangement is exquisite. The light next to it enhances the colors in the arrangement.

I collect snowmen and especially liked these snowman ornaments.

These three angels are a contrast to the bright flowers. I would never have thought they'd look so nice next to each other. Notice the weathered door and primitive chair.

More angels. Also, notice the snowman ornaments.

Another set of angels in front of a primitive crate.

I hope that you enjoyed seeing a few of the lovely things at Sue's Floral Art.
