Woman opens The Brickivall
By Lisa Boonstoppel-Pot
Lynne Bannerman's new down
town business may be called the
The Brickwall, but there's nothing
imposing about it
The new shop, which opened two
weeks ago on Blyth's main street, is
cozy and welcoming with the array
of silk flower arrangements and
ceramic creations it features.
The Brickwall is actually three
businesses in one. In addition to
being a retail outlet for florals and
ceramics, it also serves as a class
room for floral arranging and
ceramic classes and as a base for

ceramic business is something Mrs.
Bannerman never imagined.
Fourteen years ago, the Londes-
boro native was living in Kitchener
when a neighbour invited her to a
floral arranging home party.
Not knowing she had a creative
bone in her body, she went just for
the fun.
"I made my little floral fan and
was shocked when the lady who
offered the class called me up and
asked me to teach the class," recalls
Mrs. Bannerman. "I had no idea I
had a talent for it."
Anyone interested in taking
classes can visit The Brickwall to
join. Floral arranging classes are
offered Monday evenings and
Thursday afternoons and ceramic
classes taught Tuesday afternoons
and Thursday nights.
