For a birthday boy

Don't you just love hearing girls sending guys flowers? This gives me an opportunity to create something less girly or romantic and something with more of an edge but still allowing some room for something a little delicate, precious & pretty. I figured a guy probably wouldn't know what to do with a vase after the blooms have wilted or with a wrapped bouquet as he also wouldn't know to leave it wrapped or remove the wrapping and arrange it in a vase. Does he even have a vase at home? I wonder. Lets jut put it in a box. A very guy thing to do I thought, men with their toolboxes, junk in boxes, they wear boxers... ANYWAY so I decide it shall be in a box. So here it is in a box.

Congratulations, you did it!

I'm not a big fan of congratulatory flowers on those very dated metal stands. I would however suggest something more chic but due to budget constrains I have to use it. I did cover it up with brown paper for a more rustic look. The direction was - colorful, big, bright. I salvaged an old palm leaf with it's leaves sawed off. I love using dried twigs & leaves.

Mr P nosing around. He wasn't any help that day

Go GREEN!

 I had the itch to just arrange something so I decided to head out by foot and cut me some foliage from the neighborhood.
