With work and travel in overload during December, the
hubs recognized that I needed a calm date night. So he arranged a nice dinner
and a trip to the Phipps Conservatory
here in Pittsburgh. (He’s a keeper).
That all sounds super romantic, right? Well little did
the hubs know that my parents took me to a haunted house at Phipps in 4th
grade and I’ve been scarred since.
For those of you that don’t live in Pittsburgh, Phipps is
a Conservatory. Aka a house of plants. Some years back, Phipps hosted a haunted
house during October where people would seriously dress as plants and jump out
at you.
During our recent visit, every time I heard a little
noise, I would jump. I also kept thinking there were people in the plants.So a romantic holiday light show visit turned into
extreme paranoia.
This is going somewhere.
So I love to grab books and pamphlets from places and I picked
up one on the Phipps. This little book was full of inspiration and classes.
So if you are resolving to try something new or change
careers in 2012 (and live in Pittsburgh), may I suggest the Phipps
Floral Design Program. Yeah, it’s a little pricey, but if you’ve purchased
flowers lately, they are pricey!! Just think – after taking this course, you
can make arrangements for family and friends (to save some cash) OR start your
own thing on the side. You don’t’ need to complete the full program for a fancy
certificate – there are single classes on things like vase arranging and centerpieces!
