T Stands for Tiny Floral Arrangements in Cups

 

The Eldest attended our town's annual Christmas fair. Fun, food, crafts. While browsing she found these cute floral arrangements which she though would make a nice gift for me. She couldn't decide which she liked best so she gave me both.

This brought back memories. The first job I had when I was 16 years old was working for the neighbor that lived across the street. He had a business that made artificial floral arrangements which were sold to grocery stores, gift shops, and the like.

Rather than the lovely, hand-made, paper flowers shown here, we used silk (really faux silk) flowers. We used 4 inch plastic flower pots which were spray painted according to seasonal colors. We also had a 3 or 4 inch. ceramic swan which I thought was pretty until the day I had to make 200 of them to fill an order. The first 50 were pretty after that the swans lost their charm.
