A good saying to live by, right? Make what you can with what you’ve got. I do this all the time when cooking, substituting ingredients I have on hand to skip yet another trip to the store. The other day I made a fabulous fresh peach🍑, goat cheese 🐐, dill 🪴salad 🥗. Three trips to the store (the last one being for the LETTUCE!) – ugh, the frustration. We live nearby so it’s not a big deal, but would have rather spent time prepping and putting it together!

We recently broke down a large flower arrangement into three small vases (one was really small) – each was beautiful (this is one). Instead of trying to fit everything in one vase, I sorted by length and started working from there. The taller roses I put into this vase along with the snapdragons and asparagus fern. I had sunflowers in a smaller vase until they were done. I took the medium length flowers and put them in a small vase, a few white roses, baby white carnations & greenery. I took all the short storms and put them in a small jar and oh! It’s the sweetest. It includes small white roses, white baby carnations, sweet small chrysanthemums in a beautiful green color and a sprig of ligustrum. #magical

It’s fun to play around with what you’ve got to make something completely different. I love cut flowers and enjoy mixing them up. A fresh cut and fresh water each day to keep them going as long as possible. #lovewhatyoudo

💮 Until next time…
