While walking home from work the other day I saw a big beautiful bouquet of mixed flowers at a fruit market for only $7.99 and i just couldn't resist bringing them home to make a couple little arrangements.
It was full of white lilies, white, yellow and red daisies (my fav) and pink and fushia alstroemerias.
I've really been loving these
turquoise mercury glass containers that I bought on clearance at Pottery Barn so I decided to use a couple of them.
To make it easier to arrange the flowers, I made a grid over the top using clear scotch tape. Then it was just a matter of arranging the flowers in the containers and filling them up with water.
I placed them on top of the bookshelf, flanking my beloved Maltese Falcon. I took these photos just after I made the arrangements, but since then the lilies have really opened up and look really nice.
They are add a nice little punch of colour in the living room, and I love how the containers play off of the new turquoise and neutral striped cover I put on the couch for summer. I picked it up on sale from
Tonic Living, a Toronto-based company that makes retro-inspired fabrics, covers and pillows.
And that lovely little glass lotus votive holder on the table? A beautiful birthday gift from my sister that she picked up at a
store in Kingston. Its one of those pieces that I just know I'll love for years to come.
