What’s your idea of the perfect holiday? For me, it is being surrounded by friends, family, food, fun, and flowers. I call it the Five F’s of Christmas. For me, they are even better than getting “Five Golden Rings.” I invite my friends and family to my home, decorate the heck out of it with “flowers,” (which in winter is more like evergreens, berries and cones) and cook a whole bunch of food. With a house full of people, fun is sure to follow.
If this sounds like you, we’re here to help you decorate. And we can even help you get a jump start on the other four F’s. Bring some friends or family members to one of our workshops. Better yet, gather a bunch together and we’ll give you your own private workshop! You can bring your own food as long as you bring some to share with the instructor.
Or just bring everyone to the Graceful Greens Creativity Day, and we’ll supply the food. We found a great new restaurant in Worcester called Livia’s Dish. They will be making some fabulous soups for lunch and there will be a great salad bar, too.
Bring a Friend, Have some Fun Leave the Mess Behind!
