The Flower and the Vase
I'm really excited to be adding a new class this fall called The Daily Vase. This is the way flowers happen in my house; small little vignettes creep into every room taking up all the spare surfaces. Why make one large arrangement when you can make 5 out of one purchased bouquet and have flowers everywhere! Half the time I'm just going out in the garden and finding something. It's amazing how even the most common weed is elevated by being in a vase.
I have to confess that the reason these little arrangements are so much fun is the opportunity to pair the flowers with different vases. It's a fun kind of creative play to find an interesting vase and then try to figure out which flowers look good in it- about the same as buying an new skirt or pair of pants-right? These quirky patterned ones are my favorites.
