When I was a kid I use to fantasize about being an adult; the things I would do, and the kind of lifestyle I would have. One of those dreams was to own a home that always had fresh flowers in it. I’m not ready yet or will I be ready in 6 months to become a home owner, but perhaps I can decorate my rented living quarters with a beautiful arrangement. Hesitate at first with this idea, thinking that financially this might be a bit much, I had looked towards Martha Stewart to give me guidance. In Ms Stewart’s May issue of Living, she teaches ways of how to make the cheapest grocery store bought flowers like carnations look amazing in a vase, as well as how to display a single red rose in a very simple but sophisticated manner. Thanks to these great tips from Martha I can carry out my goal in an inexpensive way. With the exception of splurging every once in a while on special occasions.
With that said, on Friday I went to my local supermarket and headed to the floral section. They had great flowers to choose from, even my favorite, White Casablanca Lilies. Unfortunately, they only had one bouquet of those gorgeous flowers left and they looked like they had seen better days. Pondering for a while and analyzing each assortment, I finally picked the lilies that you see above. I took them home, cut their stems on an angle while immersed in water (which helps prolong there life), arranged them in one of my clear glass vases and displayed it on my kitchen table. Not only do they make my table look fabulous but it also helps brighten up my kitchen while emitting a slight aroma in the air.
