Whimsical Yard Art by Alikat Embellishments

On a recent Saturday visit to Flower World (more on that in another post.) we were lucky enough to visit the Saturday market on the park-like grounds of the Flower World compound (over 200 acres in all.)  Proceeds from vendor space rental are contributed to the local food bank.  Kat, the organizer of the happening creates unique beaded creations like custom designd tiaras, jewelery, flowers, candle skirts and more.  On this day, we got to see some of the "and more."

Many people make flowers from re purposed dishes and it's interesting how each person comes up with their own unique twist on this idea.  I've started calling my own thrift stores on a stick.







As if these fun and funky flowers aren't enough, Kat also brough along some of her  lovely (and hungry) ladies.


Thanks, Kat, for your permission to photograph and post your imaginative work and for organizing this weekly fundraiser for such  a good cause!
