Free Flowers





I don't know about you but we certainly cannot afford to buy flowers so I found a solution!
Look around your neighborhood and find beautiful trees or bushes with flowers or berries.
Ask your neighbor if he or she minds if you cut off a little now and then. This is also a great way to get to know your neighbors.
Some cuttings will last longer than others but try it out.
The photo with the white flower in it is actually fake and bought for $1. I just added the leaves from my yard. The vase is a drinking glass.
Small vases are great for in bathrooms, on your kitchen counter or on top of a stack of books.
The larger ones would look fabulous on a fireplace mantel, dining table or coffee table.
I would suggest playing with it and trying them in different locations. There are endless possibilities.
Check out these examples of cuttings in vases.
Buying Tip; find interesting vases at resale shops or garage sales for next to nothing.
