something special

Does anyone make anything floristry wise for themselves for home......people say to me 'aww you must have lovely arrangements in your house'.....but I never have. Might plonk a few stems of something in a vase, but that's about it.....don't like any kind of structured arrangement so would never do one for myself...never even done a Crimbo deccie for myself......is it just me

Nearest I get to an arrangement at home is half a dozen bamboo stalks cut down exotically tied with an elastic band and plonked in a bowl of water - its the only thing the cats will drink out of !!!!

Our tap water is sh*t and I guess the bamboo must take the taste away

Oh and a million orchid plants until they re-flower

Strange you should mention this today, for the 1st time in ages, Ive just made an arrangement for the mantlepiece, using left over flowers, usually just plonked in a vase, but as it was pissing down (again) thought id have a play
