One sprig of beautiful blooms from an outside bush held by a chemistry beaker. Yes, that's a pyrex chemistry beaker. It's simple and you can create a pop of color easily as it only holds a couple stems.
Pyrex beaker at Goodwill. $.49. Another example of thinking outside of the box when you shop.
Next week, I'll show the perfect Fourth of July use for inexpensive goodwill mason jars.
Yesterday was a day to celebrate Administrative Professionals. I put together this arrangement to celebrate the fabulous woman in our office who answers all the crazy questions and keeps things straight. The tricycle planter was found at Goodwill and was originally a dark bronze. I gave it a new coat of paint for a spring look. Added a green pot to match the flower stems and not take away from the pop of the pink. Finished it off with pink and white tulips.
The moss was added to hide the lattice work of the floral tape. I forgot to take a picture of it, but here is a picture I found of what it looks like. This is how you get flowers like tulips to stand up in a pot or vase. In this case, I used both wet floral foam and created the lattice design with tape.
Here's to celebrating those that help organize the chaos of everyday!
Crazy daisies!

I passed up on one of these a few weeks ago and kicked myself ever since. Luckily, I ran across another one last weekend. I'd like to find a few more to paint. I'd love one in black, robin's egg blue and spring green. It's such a great, classic shape.
