Did you read my post about The Lie of Perfectionism a couple of weeks ago? Yeah well, I may have had to read that again myself before sharing my floral arrangement with you today. I’ve never taken a flower arranging class in my life but I know the look I like. I’m pretty sure a professional would take one look at my arrangement and want to fix it for me. In fact, I did ask the opinion of a friend who has won awards for her floral arrangements and she had some suggestions for me, but after playing around with it a bit more I stayed with what was pleasing to my eye.
When I look into my dining room, which is several times a day as I go up and down the stairs, I feel happy.
The sun streams through the plantation shutters onto my dining room table and reminds me that warm days are right around the corner.
This large bouquet is filled with some of my favorite flowers and, quite by accident in an attempt to fill a bare spot, a sweet bird’s nest with gold leafed eggs.
I have neither the time nor the money to create a new arrangement of fresh flowers every week, but over time I’ve invested in some really good faux flowers which I’ve mixed with some really average faux flowers, to create an arrangement that makes me smile.
A little burlap twisted around the stems of the flowers gives it the shabby touch I adore,
and a big French garden urn at the base of it all makes it a statement piece.
Nope, not even near perfect, but Perfectly Imperfect just like me!
Blessings friends 😉
