Thank you for those who have booked with me!
I really appreciate it and I am looking forward to making your event a great one! ^_^

This year marked the 3rd year I participated in the Philadelphia Flower Show. So I "celebrated" by competing in 4 categories. It's borderline insane, but boy, the fun was very well worth it! ^_^

The theme this year is "Bella Italia", so as you may have guessed, it's everything Italian. The major exhibitions were mostly garden/landscape style with a few modern/contemporary displays (such as from Moda Botanica and Michael Bruce). Highly inspirational!

In the artistic competitions, they introduced a few new classes to form the 'Fashion Runway" - I LOVE, I LOVE, I LOVE this idea! ^_^
So this year, they had "Shoes", "Evening Bag", and "Ties" on top of the other Jewelry classes and the Dress Class that made it back.
It was certainly an honor to be able to compete with these extremely talented folks and like I've stated many times before, I learned a great deal of techniques and new ideas from them. The experience is always amazing! ^_^

This year I did not get any blue ribbon, but...I did get 3 ribbons out of the 4 categories I competed in. Not bad, huh? ^_^ I have no complaints here! ^_^ I got 2nd place for the Dress class, 3rd place for the Evening Bag class, and Honorable Mention for the Shoes class. And...Even though I did not get any ribbon for my Miniature category, I still think it's the prettiest work I did for this year competition and am proud of it. ^_^ For those who attended the show and are inspired to compete in any of the Artistic Arrangement Class, I highly encourage you to join! There is no admission fee to compete and trust me, you'll have tons of fun! If you need more information or looking for advise on where to start, please feel free to contact The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society or myself (papertini at gmail dot com). I would be more than happy to share you any information that I know! So I definitely look forward to seeing you there next year! ^_^

Without further ado...please enjoy the pictures of my works from this year's show! ^_^
Thank you for reading as always!
