Also, make sure you come in or make an appointment to order your Derby arrangement or make a prom order (like the floral bracelet of red roses around my left wrist in the video!)

Our family’s legacy with Derby began with my great-grandfather’s passion for the two most exciting minutes in sports. And when he and my Granddaddy Roy bought the “family box” at Churchill Downs in 1920, there was no looking back. Over the next 35 years, he never miss a Derby until his death in 1955. The “family box” stayed in the family, passed down from one generation to the next, for 82 long, precious years. The Derby has always been that something “special” with my family and I was lucky enough to have that same wonderful passion for horses passed down to me from my great-grandfather.

My grandmother would make my Uncle George Robert a racing uniform every year. She would copy them from the same colors and silks as the horse my grandfather would pick each year, and complete the ensemble with a pair of racing boots. There’s now a “new’ George in the family–my grandson. His parents have a Derby party each year, no matter where they are, be it Georgia, Virginia, or New York.

I’ll give you one guess as to whom those prized boots are with now…

I had such a nice time listening to these woman and watching them show us that something special in their lives–something that mattered to them or had some kind of influence on their lives, whether it be a hobby, a source of income, or that one thing that brings peace to their soul. Those women have an amazing fellowship. Coming together for each other and for the Lord brings a special type of bond that won’t easily be broken and they are a special group of women.

I normally do about three of four of these presentations a year on the Color of the Year on florals, interiors, architecture, and fashion. I like to look at things that God has put in nature and imitate it as best I can. You can listen to all of my presentation here:
