What's on my desk this week...

 

As an event planner, there can sometimes be some funny things on my desk.  

Big jugs of leftover vodka - check.  

BIG homecoming corsages - check.  

Hot glue gun.. xacto knife.. paper cutter - check check check

Stacks of yearbooks we're pouring over for reunion photos - check.

Several half full drinks - check.   (Ask my co-workers, I'm awful about that one.)

But sometimes you find something cute on my desk. I love flowers and I love just picking up a bunch to display on my desk for the week.  Places like Kroger and Walmart cut great deals on flowers while they still have a lot of beauty left to give.

The arrangement above is what currently brightens my day.  Flowers are from Kroger.  Huge bouquet of tulips (my fave) for $12!    They also had a dozen PERFECT roses on clearance for $6!  Lots of them in a variety of colors.

Used as a vase - a pair of children's rain boots.  I had been looking around for rain boots for my son.  He loves to splash in puddles and on the cooler spring days, he really needed some rain boots.  Anyway... I found some for him and I found these smaller ones (above) at Goodwill for $2.  (These are a toddler size 5, in case you're wondering the ratio of how big the boots should be to hold a bouquet.)

If you look closely at the photo, you'll notice that I've wedged 2 plastic cups into the boots.  These are small, disposable cups.  Probably holds 6-8 ozs of water each.  They fit perfectly into the boots and were a great size to hold the flowers/water.

Anticipate spring by adding a bit of fresh flowers into your work space - and don't forget to think outside the box when looking for floral containers.

Adorable.

I have some hot pink second hand rubber boots. Never dreamed of putting flowers in them - but shy not.
