About this Event

Brunch & Book Bouquets: A Mini Crafting Retreat


Saturday May 9th 10:00am-11:30am $30


Looking for a unique way to celebrate the women in your life? Skip the crowded restaurants and celebrate Mother’s Day with a morning dedicated to renewal and connection.


Give yourself or a loved one the GIFT of a mini crafting retreat. Enjoy a light brunch of fresh fruit, pastries, herbal teas, and juice spritzers while you transform a beloved book into a stunning floral centerpiece. In this unique workshop, you'll learn the art of book folding to create a beautiful, vase-like sculpture, then craft a complementary faux floral arrangement to display inside. By the end of the class, you'll not only have a beautiful, finished piece to take home, but also the skills to continue exploring this creative and meditative craft.


Whether you’re a mom coming for some much-needed "me time" or you’re bringing your mother/daughter for a shared creative adventure, you’ll leave with a beautiful, lasting bouquet and a heart full of inspiration.

Classes at Thrifty Connections intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+.

Ticket Policy

All ticket sales are final. As a small business, we operate with limited class capacity. Classes require advance planning, preparation time, and the gathering of materials and supplies. Because of our limited capacity, we are typically unable to refill seats or recover the costs associated with cancellations. For these reasons, all class ticket purchases are final and non-refundable.

If you’re unable to attend, your ticket may be transferred to a friend or donated—just let us know ahead of time so we can update our guest list. Thank you for understanding and for supporting our small classes and creative offerings.
