Carnations?
Yes...carnations! My blogging friend, Mimi from First Come Flowers, did a post on carnations. I was completely skeptical, and thought ...I'll just stop by to say "hi"....you know how that goes. This was one of the images she used
I know....those are carnations! Not what I remember, so I read on...I'll cut to the chase... Mimi convinced me to buy a bunch of carnations and make a simple arrangement.
Store bought carnations $5.... Bunch them all tougher, keeping the heads at the same level
Put a rubber-band close to the top of the bunch and trim the ends to the length that will fit your vase
That's it! This should last 2+ weeks...
Thanks for the great tip, Mimi! To read her entire post you can go here.

Beach Centerpieces
What can I say...I love a simple centerpiece. In fact, the hydrangea centerpiece post that I did, is currently my most popular. Since the weather has been so fantastic, and I'm always dreaming of the day I live at the beach.....I thought I would do beach inspired centerpieces

I'm so sorry the kids have outgrown their sandbox. I could use a few cups of it now. Is this something you would try?
On another note....my Craigslist frustrations continues. That contender table is in Pennsylvania! I'ts called "over-posting" and I should have flagged that listing.
Hydrangea Centerpieces
I love hydrangeas and have inspirational garden pictures with them here, and here. I have also done a few posts on centerpieces...here and here. I have not done a post on hydrangea centerpieces...until now.
