Early this month, May went to The enchanted ball in Peninsula, Dockland. 

It was annual gala ball of the Financial Markets Foundation for Children.

It was such a fun night with great musical entertainment and meaningful time that guest 

could buy experiences and a chance for members of the banking community to bid 

for a stake in their charitable bond issue.

May's very special day hope that we can join this great event next year again 

not only as a guest but also as one of contributors.

I found this cute apple from Jane Wang's Pinterest.

The Pink Pearl apple is an apple cultivar developed in 1944 by Albert Etter, 

a northern California breeder. Pink Pearl apples are generally medium sized, 

with a conical shape. They are named for their bright, pink flesh. 

They have a translucent, yellow-green skin, and a crisp, juicy flesh with tart to sweet-tart taste.

Hi, it's me May. Today I want to introduce you this quirky DIY vase.

I found this at http://psimadethis.com/ 

Very simple thing, just cut cardboard out into shape you want and then tie it with a cup. 

If you have special vase in your mind for your party, try to design it by yourself

 You could save time and money than wasting your time till you find the one you love.

Here are some of the best pieces of my floral works. I arrange bridal bouquets from $80, center pieces from $90, smaller table arrangements around $20-$30. If you're having a wedding or engagement parties somewhere around Melbourne, why don't you email me and tell me your favourite flowers or theme of your event. And I'll write you back with some ideas and a quote.

Love,

May

Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inchwide accordion folds, 

creasing with each fold. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue;
