Delicious Spring Blooms

Don’t Add Water….

 

Because I am a ‘fly girl’ and gone all the time it is nice to have flowers around that require no maintenance.  These crepe paper flowers are not only pretty and colorful, but simple to create. You need minimal and inexpensive materials and a little bit of patience. Whenever I have a spare [...]

Delicious Tulips

Yep, we are having a snow storm outside today but inside my flat it is nice and cheery. The recipe for this is to add a few tulips. That will do the trick. They are abundant right now at my local market. It is tough to walk on by the colorful display located at the [...]

Delicious Flowers

Happy Friday! I am busy decorating for the Easter weekend and these flowers are transforming my little flat into a Springtime oasis. I made these out of napkins. Yes, I did say napkins!  So simple and beautiful!  Play around with different sizes and colors. I attached a row of them to a floor mirror with [...]

Oh Pretty Basket

I am not sure what says Easter more than a bunny, and he seems right at home nestled in tissue paper grass in a silver pail. Missing my kids at this time of year is matter of fact-enjoy your moment before they fly the coop.  I like using a silver pail as my base. I [...]

Roses are Red.....

Tuesday,  27  APRIL  2010

Wow! Walking around my garden today, I am struck with awe admiring my roses.  They are gorgeous this year.  Possibly, because this past winter was the coldest one since I moved here twelve years ago.  Maybe they need a good freeze to be this attractive.  I am not a Rose expert.  As [...]

There is a ‘secret garden’ that I love to visit whenever I feel I need an ounce of inspiration to get my wheels turning. It is a little place called ANTHROPOLOGIE! I come alive just admiring the creativity in their window displays. I have a little flower creation today [...]
