fresh fleurs...make me smile.

Fleurs.  A...mazing!  I love 'em!  Fleurs have become a bit of an obsession of mine.  There's nothing better than having fresh flowers around.  Trust me.  To be honest, you don't need to spend an arm and a leg on fresh flowers.  I buy one or two varieties  once every two-three weeks.  I take care of them...and they last.  I have a thing for all things white...so I typically will buy white flowers, but I've been experimenting lately, and I'm into colours.  Bright, bold, colours.  To add, flower arranging...need not be too complicated!  I literally will use anything I have for a vase...a glass, a shot glass...even a mason jar!  I work with one colour scheme (easy if you're not colour blind)...and I cut the flowers proportionately to the vase I am using.  Small glasses/vases mean I will trim my flowers short...and long/large vases mean my flowers will barely be trimmed.  Here are the few mini arrangement that I've had all over my little apartment for the past week and a half.  I change the water frequently, and snip the ends of the flowers every time I change the water.  This makes my flowers last.

This week...I have one loose Gerber daisy by my bed...



And four bright Gerber daisies in the bathroom.




And this little guy...tiger lilies and the rest of the daisies on my coffee table.  


The rest of my lillies I kept long..and placed in my dining room.  Orange overkill?  I think not.



Fresh fleurs...simple.  Elegant.  Smile-worthy.
