Copycat Flowers

Rain, Rain, Rain for us this week!  

Hard to believe it is almost 

officially Summertime!  

It's a great time though,

to curl up with a good book.  

I found this book at 

an Estate Sale on Saturday.  

Yes, the same sale 

where I found my Silver Tea Set 

that you can see HERE.  

It had some really fun arrangements 

that were different from your 

typical flower arrangements.  

They looked relatively easy 

to make and they also showed 

you how to make each one.

This strawberry arrangement 

looked nice and summery 

and I had everything I needed on hand.

A basket of strawberries, 

a clear footed bowl, 

a clear vase, and flowers.  

I had some white roses 

from the supermarket 

and the rest of the flowers 

I cut from the yard.

I first put water in the inner vase 

and set it in the clear footed bowl.  

I stuck a little bit of chewing gum 

on the bottom to make sure it would stick.  

I filled the bowl with the berries and went to work 

arranging the flowers.

The directions said to 

arrange them by color 

so I grouped the whites first, 

added the dark pinks, 

the yellow daylilies 

and then the purple flowers.  

The grasses were added last.  

To get them to curl a little 

just wrap them around your hand 

for a minute or two.  

Well, how did I do?  

Wouldn't this be fun for a Brunch?  

What are you reading in the rain?

Until Next Time,
