As a professional crafter, Suzonne Stirling is
always dreaming up inventive ways to make
everyday items special. When she threw a
centerpiece-making party in time for Mother’s
Day, she looked no farther than her New
Orleans home and garden for objects to use as
vases and flowers for the arrangements.
