Flower Arrangements
I read recently that one of the best things you can do for your home is buy a fresh flower arrangement each week. Although I love the concept, I find it isn’t always the best idea for the budget!:) I do however, like to peruse the fresh flower section of the grocery store just to see if they have any great bargains on pretty little flowers…
So, I was thrilled beyond words when I walked into the house the day before Valentine’s Day to discover this on my kitchen table:
As I started to arrange the flowers, I wasn’t sure where I was going to put such a LARGE bouquet. Then, it hit me! I could finally have fresh flowers in every room of the house!:)
I carefully separated the flowers based on color and type, and then just put them in pretty containers I had sitting around.
Here’s how 1 bouquet became 6!:
The white flowers all went into some pretty painted jars and nestled into a wooden tray with some pink pompom garland.
It’s sitting on the fireplace mantel in my office (and is smiling at me right now!:)).
The pink carnations went into a tall painted jar and is a pretty contrast to the blue wall in the main bathroom.
There was a whole bunch of beautiful greenery, so some of it was put into a pitcher and sits on a kitchen shelf.
This pretty lilly greets you as you walk through the door and sits on the entryway dresser.
This pretty red arrangment is on the kitchen table:
And last (but not least!) this little vase of red carnations is perched on a stack of old books in the living room:
Do you like to decorate with pretty little flowers, too? If so, which room do you most often put them in?

Wow! So pretty all over and the best idea ever to split them up and enjoy them all throughout the house.
I love having fresh flowers in the house — beautiful ! Yours are so pretty , what a great idea 🙂 blessings !!
