GOOD to KNOW!
How to make people smile!
What you will need.
Two bunches of flowers.
These were $5 each,
one sleeve of green and one sleeve of white flowers
in honor of
St. Patty's Day.
These were $5 each,
one sleeve of green and one sleeve of white flowers
in honor of
St. Patty's Day.
Grab a vessel.
This small square shape is a great choice,
and costs less than $5.
Find a similar vase at Michael's or Walmart.
A soup can (think Andy Warhol),
a naked soup can,
a mason jar,
or
a jelly jar from Trader Joe's
will also work.
All of these
small containers
are
easy to transport.
In this case,
you want to go for
a tight, low arrangement.
It is all in the container, no skill required.
Hold the flower next to the vase
and
decide on how short to cut the stem.

Hold the flower next to the vase
and
decide on how short to cut the stem.
which will allow more water uptake.
Fill the container with the bigger white flowers
and
then stick in 5-7 of the green button flowers.
VIOLA!
Send this to your child's teacher on St. Patty's day
(the teacher's pet)
or
place it on a coffee table
for a little
nod to the Irish.
You have all of these flowers leftover for more gifts!

Pick up a coffee cup at a consignment shop
or
pick up a large latte cup at Anthropologie and fill it with flowers!
Take a vase,
cup of flowers
or
literally just one flower in a vase

or
literally just one flower in a vase
to someone who is under the weather,
to that friend who listened until you chewed her ear off,
to the neighbor that you haven't spoken to all winter,
or
to anyone who needs a smile!
It is a win-win!
You will get
smiles
worth more than a
to that friend who listened until you chewed her ear off,
to the neighbor that you haven't spoken to all winter,

to anyone who needs a smile!

Get going.
Life is short,
be the light
and
make someone
smile!

Found a NEW HOTTIE...
in the houseplant arena!
(Beautiful shop of houseplants in Ljubliana, Slovenia)
 |
| It is the Streptocarpus or the Cape Primrose. |
 |
| and is kin to the African Violet, but showier! |
Some of the varieties look like
orchids
and some look like giant African Violets!
No houseplant is foolproof but the
Cape Primrose
is easy to grow in bright, indirect light
and needs water when the top inch of the soil is dry.
Easy as that!
The Cape Primrose
will make
you
