...this year I convinced MomMom to get me fake flowers to put in my pots!!!!!!! I am so sorry --- but no matter how hard I try - I haven't yet acquired her ability to care for plants and flowers. She has some magical touch given to her by my grandparents to just be so good with plants -- her presence alone perks them up --- whereas, if my plants had legs - they would run away from me as fast as possible, my presence seems to bring them closer to their fatal destiny. I try so hard but I can't keep them alive and healthy like she can..... SOOooo until she is down here more often and can teach me her magic -- I went fake!!!!!!! I absolutely have NOT given up on having my own garden - I am determined to have a green thumb some day - but it won't be this year.
BUT I am proud to say that I mixed and matched these flowers together and arranged them all myself! We bought bunches of the same colors and then I used wire cutters and cut them all apart and arranged them in my pots with real dirt! :)
Say what you will -- I LOVE the way they look!! I am so so so excited about them! :)
one on each side of the front door -- oops I guess I should have sweeped the rug :) I really want a new front door rug -- a plain black one - eventually.
back porch:
So beautiful! Yay for you!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL ~ you are so FUNNY!! I do love your choice of colors and the black door..LOVE and your rockers! :)
ReplyDeleteNo shame in that sweetie! Most of my indoor plants are fake unless they are small plants like African Violets that barely let off any pollen or they are just greenery. As for the porch plants being fake...it's hard to keep potted plants alive in Wilmington! I remember coming home to Atlanta for about 9 days last summer and when we got back to Leland, our potted plants had just baked in the heat! I didn't even think about asking someone to water them since I had put our mail on hold and Downey was at her favorite boarding kennel with her doggie friends. You go right ahead...no one will even know!
