Inspirations for the florist

Hello dear readers,

First of all, I am lucky and happy to let you know that Alexandra's giveaway prize has arrived whole and safe.  I already have plans for a barbeque scene with these wonderful items.  The vegetables in the bowl, as well as the meat pieces, are fantastical life-size looking.




Thank you, dear Alex, for your generous prize.



A SINK TABLE TOP

Sometimes I have to improvise for materials.  I don't know how many of you, dear readers, remember the little cottage I made from a cheap wooden cash-box. (Photo below.)




Here is one of those cash-boxes.  They cost about  US$0.60 which is quite cheap for the wood I get after taking them apart in the microwave oven.

You will agree with me that a florist needs a sink table for flower arrangements.  My inspiration comes from the very creative Jodi who creates beautiful sink units.  The bottom of the box makes a perfect table top for a sink unit, saving me a lot of work. The ceramic bowl is made by my daughter Nilly.
(I have to search my stash for more of these bowls.)













CRATES

This beautiful miniature florist shop (From Pinterest) inspired me to make a few wooden crates for my project. They will be great for displaying the plant pots.



The crates are a flexible way for displaying the flowers pots and accessories.  I have not yet decided which color to paint them.  All suggestions are welcome.









I wish you a lovely weekend with blessings.

  8. Hi Drora! Your little cash box is a great source for materials! The sink you are making looks lovely already! The crates are a Wonderful idea! I think you should just make them look "weathered" like wood left out in the rain... a grayish brown like the ones in the inspiration picture. Otherwise, a brilliant blue would not look bad with anything!

  13. Congrats on your wonderful price from Alex - it was quick to arrive at your place and I'm looking forward to see you have a BBQ... ;O) Your method to build your sind is simply brilliant, I admire your mini-eye recognizing possibilities even in a wooden cash box. The crates are a wonderful idea for displaying the flower arrangements in your shop, it's very popular for shops like these. About the colour - I would suggest no bright colour because this might compete with your flowers who should be the ones to bring the colour in. Maybe a shabby white or natural wood color with a little aging? Well, you will find the perfect solution for sure.

    Hugs
