Wayne, I have a shot of that hat too – but I don’t remember the lavender shoes. Did you get any shots of the shoes over in the floral arrangements display section that were made completely of plant material? My camera battery had died by the time I got over there… -kris

I attended the Vermont Flower Show last weekend. It made for a nice afternoon. Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd spoke about their new book, which certainly made it worthwhile. Otherwise, I felt that they really needed more plants, believe it or not. There were some lovelies, but no treasures to be found. I am glad you enjoyed yourself. Thank you for sharing the pictures! <em>Liisa, That book is on my list to read... I'll bet it's extra tough to force plants in chilly Vermont! -kris</em> I love the shoes and dresses… certainly leaves one longing for spring! I attended the Vermont Flower Show last weekend.

Do they come in my size? Made it to the RI Flower Show and went to PA many years ago. Every few years is enough don't you think? How many trips with that watering can were necessary to thoroughly water that first container? <em>Layanee, they wouldn't let me try on the shoes and can you believe they didn't give that man a hose?! -kris</em> I love the smell and the artistry of a flower show and those shoes….over the moon!
