Going Green....

I just love the month of March! The hints of spring, flowers blooming, and the smell of fresh rain, it's just so refreshing! What better time to "go green", and bring some of the outdoors, indoors! Not only is it economical....it always freshens any room! It's also amazing how long fresh cut branches last! Combine a variety of leaves and branches, or just make a statement with a single blooming branch.




Using fresh fruit for centerpieces always is stunning! Whether you use a few lemons, or cut them and add flowers, the citrus scent is always so nice! My favorite fruits to use are: lemons, limes, oranges, cranberries, and apples!!



Flowers are always a nice "pop" of spring, but you don't always need to buy bunches at the store! Visit your local Lowe's or Home Depot, and check out the variety of 6 pack annuals. Keep them in their plastic container, and just line your container with plastic wrap, and top with moss. This is always a great, and unusual centerpiece that lasts much longer than store bought flowers!
