    What you'll need

    1 large diamond-shaped metal wreath form
    Stem wire
    Floral wire
    Floral picks (4 inches)
    50 – 60 lemons
    1 bunch of holly berries
    1 bunch of aucuba foliage
    1 bunch of seeded eucalyptus

    Directions

    Pierce lemons through the center with the stem wire. Working from side to side on the front of the wreath, wrap wired lemons around the form, twisting tightly in back to securely fasten each piece of fruit. Cover the entire wreath form with lemons.
    Wire small bunches of holly berries, aucubu leaves, and seeded eucalyptus to floral picks.
    Add the wired berries and leaves to the wreath, interspersing them among the lemons.
    TIP: Faux wreaths from the craft store often come in unusual shapes and sizes. Remove the faux greens and use the form for your own design.

    Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

    Thanks Sandy. I know you "lurkers are wonderful people, with wonderful abilities, with wonderful lives, and have wonderful ideas. Come out, come out, where ever you are! WE NEED FRESH IDEAS!

    And please don't blame anyone for anything that has been said or done. This world of FlowerChat is just a square screen sitting right in front of you. You can compare it to a cardboard box, and you can drop in ideas anytime. But for the ones doing it full time, those ideas are like live Cats. Ever drop a couple of live Cats in a box and shake it a few times? No? Try it, it's fun! I just cannot figure out why they have to scream so much.

    Thom-
    Please continue to post often-I really enjoy them-not only do you have much to contribute as a first class florist, but I enjoy your sense of humor as well. When you look at the number of members on flowerchat and the number who post, it's a small ratio. I think there are a lot of lurkers who love to read the posts and glean information without actually putting themselves out there. I'm sure there are many, many more who appreciate your posts than those who don't. I'm one.

    Dear Miss Wedding Planner,

    I've been holding off writing you for sometime now. I first heard about you through a bride I have been working with, since then I have gone back to your wonderful website over and over again. i love everything about it!

    I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Miss Daisy Shop, and I am the founder and owner of Daisy flower Shop. We are located in Anytown just a few hops from Yourtown. I have broadened our horizons and will be working with brides through out the state. My company has focused it's attention on today's demanding bride. We have lots and lots of exciting new things in our store and have created a WONDERFUL consultation lounge just for brides and planners to meet with us.

    I cordially invite you to stop by for a chat and see if we can connect each other with our mutual brides. Lunch on me!

    Give me a call,
    Daisy
