Corsages and Boutonnieres

On Saturday, I mind the branch store.  Normally, the city folk don't get up til late, and so I never expect too many people before noon.  I watered the planters and blooming plants, vacuumed the carpet, swept the floor.  Later, I restocked arrangements and cut flowers.  Since it is nearing spring (hurray!) a church was sponsoring a dance, "High School Prom."  There was also a daddy/daughter dance and godparents day.  A family came in looking for a corsage and boutonniere.  I didn't have any available and they were so disappointed!  I can make a decent boutonnniere and pin-on corsage, but though I've tried, I can't attach the flowers to the wristlet for a wrist corsage.  I practiced and gave the boutonniers to the fathers who were taking their daughters to the dance.  Next time I'm near a designer at the main store, I will take wrist corsage lessons.

I'm not sure that the computer posted the daily totals properly.  It seemed to freeze mid post.  Wonder if the owner can post after the fact.
