Recycled Plastic Water Bottles Make Amazing Anthropologie Flower Display

They've done it again! The creative geniuses behind the window and store displays at Anthropologie have come up with an outstanding and gorgeous store decor--Recycled plastic water bottles. It looks like they put drops of paint in plastic water bottles and shook or spun them to coat them with an array of bright colors, cut them in half and made flower petals out both halves, and hung them by the hundreds from the ceiling of their store. The combined effect is truly lovely--a hanging garden! It's a must-see. Plus, there are many great finds at their annual summer sale!

Another blog I just found that has the prettiest pictures and ideas is called a creative mint. I just love putting flowers--whatever's blooming--from my back yard into little cups or jars or a glassybaby to make a sweet centerpiece for my tables inside or on my patio.

Isn't this just so sweet?!?


The colors are so bright and cheery.

Flowers from my garden in a Glassybaby--always pretty!

Spring Flowers in Bloom

An early morning walk is the perfect start to my day. This morning my friend and I saw so many Spring flowers in bloom....red roses on her front porch, yellow daffodils, purple lavender, clematis on a trellis.... I love Spring!  Even our dogs, Abby and Frannie, enjoying smelling the flowers. So cute!
