Cake Topper

This simple white icing cake is cleverly dressed with a spray of clay flowers!

Hope you enjoy it...the cake, without the calories! Wedding, birthday, anniversary...a perfect occasion for flowers on your cake!

Simply place the flowers onto the cake (the stems are floral wire). When ready, remove the stems and simply wipe gently with a damp cloth. Pat dry with a paper towel and you will have your keepsake flowers forever!

A great way to enjoy peonies, ranunculus and hydrangea when the blossoms are 'out of season', or any time of year!

Celebrate with flowers on your cake!

Daisy Arrangement

SO thrilled with how this 'early spring' arrangement turned out! Daisies, tuberose buds, peonies, roses and hydrangeas - they're all there in this square vase arrangement!

I tried several graduated colours of clay on a few flowers and I am very pleased with the colour combination (such fresh and clean huses) and texures of the flowers used. I have been arranging blossoms that I have made over the past couple of weeks and there are LOTS to choose from on this worktable. I listed this one into my Etsy shop - take a peek!

I have also found a new source for containers - I can hardly wait to fill them with lots of clay flowers - what is your fave colour combination these days?

Pretty Wreath

This summertime wreath makes me smile! It is just over 14" in diameter and FULL of wonderful clay flowers and ribbon. Peonies, roses, hydrangeas, tuberose buds, lilacs, gerbera daisies, gardenias and more....they're all in there! This wreath would look terrific hung on the wall, but just as fabulous on a dining table with a hurricane or pillar candle placed in the center. Could also be an everlasting head table centerpiece at a wedding! These colours are very happy and remind me how wonderful summer is!

If you are interested in purchasing this piece or having me custom make one in your decor colours, please contact me at invitemecreative@rogers.com . Imagine how rich this clay wreath would look using in the wonderful autumn colours (not that I am rushing summer along by any means) or spring pastels, summer brights...oooh, what about monochromatic?!! Possibilities...endless! Enjoy.

Rainy Day - Sunny Flowers

It is raining here today with a thunder storm brewing! Ah, Spring!! As many of my friends who are anxious to get into their gardens are busy at the nursery and garden centers, I thought I would post some cheerful flowers before I head out - off to get LOTS of compost to feed my outdoor gardens! It is a long weekend coming here in Canada - sort of 'opening weekend' for cottagers and gardeners!

I am really pleased the way my clay flower arrangements are composing themselves lately. I have been making lots of pink coloured flowers (see the rustic mossy pot) and coral coloured roses...so for a change, I tried the selection of purple/lavender roses in a cute ceramic pot. Hope you like them too!

Feeling Like Spring!

It is really Spring here now! I see the buds on the maple trees, the glorious magnolia trees are about to burst (one of my spring faves!) and bulbs blooming everywhere! Hooray - now I am getting the bug to go out and see what I can do in the garden. I feel the romance of the floral garden as I see the nursery garden centers opening up and the flats of annuals tantalizing me...

In the meantime, here are some recent arrangements that I made for Mother's Day. You can almost smell the fragrant peonies (so delicate as a fresh flower) and roses. The hydrangeas (also so delicate and fussy) can be enjoyed as clay flowers for a lot longer! I really like this colour combo this time of year too - so refreshing after a long, cold winter!
