Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Creating Small Flower Arrangements for Your Christmas Decor

Today, starts the 3-day most- welcome rains/snow  for Northern California. Outside is gloomy and rainy, but inside is cherry and bright with my two flower arrangements I made today and yesterday.

All materials are from my garden-Today's flower arrangement 

Last Thanksgiving Day, I received a Thanksgiving Bouquet from Ditas that was purchased commercially ( second photo). Yesterday, I attempted to copy it creating a small Christmas Center Piece using most of the materials from my Garden. Here's what I created.

Remember that the main rules of flower arrangements is to aim for balance, proportion and scale, unity, harmony, rhythm and balance, and emphasis. The words symmetry, contrast, focus, movement, structure, color and subject of the arrangement are often mentioned in designing an arrangement. If you have not done flower arrangement try it. I am pretty sure you will have fun.  

Here's a video of designing a small flower arrangement piece using a discarded gift box as the base.
