flo throws parties!!

flo's officially hosted our first bachelorette party!
Congratulations Julianna and an extra big thank you
to the brave ladies who came out last Saturday and faced the heat!

10 ladies signed up for 3 hours of play. Splitting in two groups,
some ladies made beads, some made paperweights!

What a fantastic group! Thanks for coming out and playing with fire ladies!

oh, and for remembering to sign the hood ;)

Thursday August 24th flo participated with the Enriched Bread Artists in 'PoP That' a wild and expressionistic exhibit... one of which we chose to take quite literally, disobeying all normal rules in glass and installing burst and broken bubbles in an array to the ceiling.

The EBA artists are located right down the street from us
in a funky old bread factory.

Thanks to all those who were able to make it out, and a special thanks

Taken from the movie Objectified, if one is short on time, this video picks up at the 'minute forty five' period.
