A Collection of our Talented Kossacks
It's so nice to learn about you, your interests and especially your talents. I was reminded of this last night when princesspat shared a photo with smileycreek and me through email.
Flower arranging is one of her special talents that she exercises and gifts to her friends and family. Not only did she arrange these flowers, she grew them!
It's being transported tomorrow as a gift to lift someone's spirits.
This beautifully arranged bouquet came from her garden:
Halloween Bouquet by princesspat
How lovely is that?
We have expert quilters, knitters, jewelry makers, (not to mention one particular silversmith) artists of numerous mediums, chefs, photographers, singers, actors, musicians, woods craftsmen and writers. Lots of writers.
This will be a dedicated diary to show off our collection of Kossack Talent.
Come on, don't be shy.
Mine will be in my tip jar.
Tell us about or show us a sample of your special talents.
