The Fairies Are Here


 I decided to go ahead and finish my fairy tree today, we will be very busy over the next few days so i would rather go ahead and finish it while i am not rushed.. This year the fairies are hanging out in the foyer, enjoy ~Grace





Holiday Floral Arrangements




I love bringing the outdoors inside especially for the holidays, I make all the floral arrangements throughout my house and i thought i would share one of my favorites with you.  i start  filling a clean container with fresh potting soil, then place the rosemary plant in the center. then i divide in half 1 potted ivy placing a half on each side . then i go all the way around the container fillinf it with pansies. and there you have one of my favorites. nothing compares to the fragrance of cut greens and rosemary throughout the house. this arrangement will last all through the holiday season.. a smaller arrangement i am doing , a little topiary and some pansies, just add instant green to a terra cotta pot  and you have a cute little arrangement.. Enjoy your weekend! Grace.

Time For A Craft Quickie...

 One of my favorite areas to decorate is outside in my garden. i have a bench that i love to drape with fresh greens then fill the bench with these little moss presents.i thought i would share with you how i create these.First you will need a floral foam shape, a package of instant green, T pins, ribbon, and a bow. you place the foam shape in the middle of the instant green and begin to wrap it like a present. i use the T pins to adhere the moss to the foam. then wrap your ribbon around the present(securing with the T pins) then add your bow. and there you have it , an instant woodland present. these are beautiful  sitting on the porch, on a bench and even inside..
