HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1985-11-06, Page 15NEW CONCEPT — Country Flowers employee Penny Watson displays two arrangements demonstrating the techniques she learned at a course given by the European -Dutch floral design school in Toronto - which was attended by 350 florists from Canada and the U.S. New floral concept Penny Watson, a 10 -year employee of Country Flowers, is thinking in a new way since attending a European - Dutch floral design school in Toronto recently. 'l'he three-day course, taught • by internationakDutch floral master Cors Veldhuis, moves away 'from the traditional fan -shaped ar- rangement to emphasis groupings, layering and terracing from the earth line. An arrangement can resemble a miniature garden by niixing poppy seed cases and pinocchio mums, miniature orchids and tree hark. fresias and broom into a colourful and symmetrical whole. A bridM bouquet breaks with on- vention by combining the softness of feathers, flowers and ribbon with the , harshness of covered wire and bead ed branches. Floral arrangements can be used for a special occasion, or for no occa- sion at all, Penny said. She noted that in Holland if a hpsband doesn't bring home flowers regularly, nes wue. wonders what is wrong. In North America, she added, the opposite is true. and a man is assumed to be up to no good if he brings home a bouquet for no reason. Penny hopes both the European design and the European attitude to flowers will influence Canadian habits. Building permits at record high It Seems to me -- Continued from page 7 before they commence. For some reason or other. many of us have a burning desire to know our roots. There's always the hope we'll turn up a royal ancestoj... but also the chance of digging up a.fikeleton in our lineage. I remember when we were in Bermuda i went to the archives to see if there was a record' of my family name. It was there alright: the first mention of it dated to the 1700s when . somebody of that name was charged with stealing a horse! Ah, well, (hem's the breaks. Seems to me it's still a lot of fun. anyway.. As expected, construction of Ex- eter's new nursing home has pushed the 1985 building permit value to near record proportions. The permit for the new nursing home, valued at $1,443,853 was issued -along with 27 other permits in September by building inspector Brian Johnston. That brings the 1985 total to $3,323,389, compared to $1,688,823 for the corresponding period last year. The September total of $1,701,441 also included one new residence valued at $186,258, 16 residential renovations and additions at $52,580, seven permits for tool sheds, carports and garages at $5,400 and one swim- ming pool at $12,000. There were 19 temporary sign per- mits approved to bring the 1985 total to 109 and there were four permanent signs to bring the total to 26. 4.. Retiring warden receives painting There were gracious accolades, toasts and greetings as elected and appointed officials from across Huron County gathered in Goderich to attend the annual warden's banquet.
