Beachy Orchid for Summer

Thank you again 

for all of your heartfelt comments 

on my Living Room post yesterday.  

I know that I don't often express my feelings 

on this little design blog 

but I am glad you were listening!  

Did you see my Orchid arrangement 

on my table yesterday?  

Now here is a flower that lasts 

a little longer than my Lilacs!  

I wanted to show you how easy 

it is to create an arrangement 

like this for your table.  

What I love about it is that it will be around 

for such a long time.  

Low Maintenance too!

I made this same arrangement last year 

for the dining room.  

It was great when the house 

was up for sale because I never 

had to worry about buying flowers.  

I bought this large clam shell at Home Goods 

a few years ago for about $20.00.  

I love the aqua blue on the inside.  

The Orchid came from Trader Joe's.  

They have the best prices on flowers!  

Last year I think I paid $9.00 

and this one was $12.00.  

I put some small river rocks 

in the bottom of the shell 

and put in the orchid and covered it 

with Spanish Moss.  

Easy!

I added some Beachy Accents to the table.  

Hey, it's never too early 

for a little bit of Summer is it?

A small glass container 

with some baby starfish, 

a rope ball, 

and a pretty white starfish 

all in a silver tray.  

My dogs like to chew on these!  

I hope they don't discover them!  

I just bought a new Betty Lou Phillips book- Inspinrations from France and Italy the other day at Barnes and Noble. 

 I was looking for the French Country Style 

magazine where Kim at Savvy Southern Style 

made the cover.  

I found the magazine AND this book!  

It's great rainy day reading!

Thanks for visiting.  

Are you decorating for Summer yet?  

Or am I crazy?

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves
