Anyway, I was at Wal-mart the other day and I happened to notice that they had clearanced some of their silk flowers. I've been wanting to make a little arrangement for the room, so I snapped up a small collection of blooms and headed home with my goodies.
I'm so thrilled with the way this came out! It matches my room beautifully and adds a nice pop of red color. Plus, it wasn't all that expensive! Usually decent fake flowers are exorbitantly priced, but the entire arrangement I made cost me around $12!
I was also able to utilize a vase that I made in college. (I took a pottery course as an elective). There's a plate that I carved that I have hanging on the bedroom wall, so this vase ties in nicely as I glazed them both the same.
Yup, when the weather is gray and dreary, there's nothing like a bright bouquet of flowers to give the spirits a lift!

You are definitely taking after your Oma. That looks exactly like something she would put together!
I LOVE doing flower arrangements! WIth three children 5 and under...combined with a little OCD, just don't make too much time for it presently.
You did a GREAT job!
Nothing like a splash of color with Mr. Winter as the backdrop.
I have a birdhouse hanging outside my kitchen window. Seeing the flashing blood red cardinals never fails to lift my spirits.
Have a blessed day!
Oooh! beautifully done, Rach! I love it and yes the red in the arrangement just POPS, perfectly matched with your vase! awesome job!!
That arrangement is gorgeous! But, I have to say that I am more taken with your vase. I still treasure my beautiful bowl you gave us that you made. The vase is beautiful!!
