'Fake them, if you can't keep them alive!'
That's my motto. And therefore I have lots of fake flowers in our home.
At first I resisted fake flowers. I wanted the real deal. But when the real deal kept dying on me, and being a lot of hard work, I succumbed to the lure of fake flowers. They're everything my kids and real flowers are not: low maintenance, clean and always perky.
So let show you my beautiful fake flowers!
How do you feel about fake flowers?
My granny used to say flowers were more trouble than they're worth. So she bought some nice plastic flowers and once a year she hosed them down. And then they were good to go again! Flowers add a touch of nature I used to think my granny had a point, but now I prefer real...
I'd been dreaming about a wooden swing seat for a long time. At first we didn't enough room. Then we didn't have enough money! Luckily I found this great second hand wooden swing seat which I absolutely love. It only cost me 76 bucks, which isn't a lot for this kind of swing. Now I...
A few posts ago I wrote about how I finally found some curtain rods after two and a half years of living without any curtains. And now I'm happy to report I've found some curtains too. I'd had my eye on them for a long time. But I was worried they would be too busy....
When it comes to garden furniture I'm a thrifty kind of girl. I don't like to spend much money on it. Because I know I won't be dragging it inside when it starts to rain or anything to keep it looking pretty. My garden furniture has to come cheap, to make sure it's okay if...
I really love windchimes. I like the tinkling sounds they made as the wind gently nudges them. But I also don't mind it if the wind briskly pushes them! Windchimes let me know there's a breeze in the air. Windchimes are music to my ears Windchimes are music to my ears. Recently I hung these...
A while back, I found this lovely vintage tea table. It's a great table for some afternoon delights! Before But because of the dark wood, I felt it was a bit dark for Summer. I didn't quite know how to fix this, because I definitely did nót want to have to paint the thing. Then...
While I'm not a huge fan of the fake silk or polyester flowers, I really like the paper flowers that have been cropping up lately! I went to a wedding where the bridal bouquet was made entirely of giant paper peonies... it looked amazing & fun to make, too.
Those sound great. Fake flowers that look real, are the best. I don't think mine will ever be able to pass as the real deal...
You can actually buy some really nice fake flowers these days. I have seen many lately where I had to check if they were real 🙂
That is a good motto. If you can't keep them alive. Personally I love real flowers. Happy New Year!
