Bringing Spring Indoors

Well, we got hit with some snow 

this weekend how about you?  

It's about now that I am craving 

a little Spring inside (and outside).  

I have been trying to have fresh flowers 

around the house for showings 

but it gets a little expensive 

not to mention the time spent at the store...

So, I have looked for ways to make my flower 

purchases last longer.  

These cute orchids are from Trader Joe's.  

I think that they have pretty good prices on flowers. 

I put three of them in my blue and white pot.  

I nestled them in with brown filler 

that you use for gifts and shipping.  

I kept them in the clay pots 

so that I can take them out for watering.  

There are clear inserts inside the clay pots.  

The great thing about the clear inserts 

is that you can take them out 

and look to see if they need watering.  

If they are turning a silvery gray 

then they need some water. 

I put Spanish moss on top 

and you would never know 

that there are three pots inside...

And they smell good too!

In the kitchen I planted some daffodils 

from Trader Joe's 

(they were a little over $2.00 each) 

in my white bowl.

 I brought some rocks in from outside 

and put them in the middle of the pot.  

I spread some potting soil in to fill in the bowl. 

Just like Spring inside!

I took down all of my 

copper pots above the window.  

I am really doing all that I can to 

declutter and sell this house! 

The Forsythia are starting to bloom 

that I forced inside last week. 

Of course, nothing says Spring like tulips!  

Remember to only fill your container 

one third of the way with water.  

That's the way they like it. 

Uh Huh, Uh Huh. 

And if you wake up one morning 

and your tulips are drooping over 

and hitting the table, don't panic!  

Just take them out, 

cut a little off the end of the stems 

and put them back in fresh water.  

They will Spring back up in no time...

These guys are willing to sleep all winter 

and not wake up until Spring! 

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
