When spring and summer arrive, there is no better way to appreciate the outdoors than bringing it into your home. The best part is, it’s free! For the longest time, I have been wanting to just clip some branches from my favorite bushes outside and place them inside a vase for an easy garden arrangement! I am always drawn to the simple, pretty table arrangements where some greenery is added to a vase. I finally got to that yesterday and clipped some of the branches from our forsythia bush in the yard. This plant grows so fast, that it’s easy to clip some of the overgrown branches without disturbing its growth and beauty.
You may remember from this post, that I needed a new centerpiece for our dining table, now that the basket, lantern and coral runner are in the family room. I put out a cream runner that I previously had from Wal Mart and found this large jug vase at a little shop in town for 50% off! They sell similar jug vases like this, at Pier 1 Imports. And of course, the branches were free!
And since I am in the garden mood, look at my beautiful blooming hydrangea bush!
My favorite look, Amber ~ simple and fresh!
amber that is stunning! way to incorporate nature! i love it, especially the vase!
I really like the look of bringing in branches and twigs…they look great as your center piece..
