flower arranging

This weekend, inspired by this post from goop, I bought bunches of light, pink, and cheerful flowers and greens at my corner bodega. It is so nice to have fresh flowers placed around the apartment. They bring in color and life and always put a smile on my face. And it does not have to cost a lot of money to make the most of what you pick up. I made five lovely little arrangements with less than twenty dollars worth of flowers. And no special vases necessary; I simply utilized saved glass jars and a vintage canister to hold my buds. So easy.
Two bunches of inexpensive flowers along with some soft, lush greens. The jars I have saved and saved. They've originally contained everything from red pepper spread to olive tapenades.
So simple...and sitting atop the trusty china.

Bunched and cozied up into a vintage tea canister.

The lot of them...Now scattered throughout the apartment.
