In a vase on Monday: December sparkle

This morning the temperature is hovering just below freezing (31 degrees F/ -0.55 C) with ice coating everything, including the streets. It's a glittery, glistening world out there. And my bouquet for today is just as sparkling as the landscape.

You knew, of course, that winter weather means my arrangement doesn't have anything clipped from my garden. Though the flowers are fake, I have their real counterparts growing in thw garden: ferns, evergreens with fat cones and daylilies to name a few.

My bathroom has a large Art Deco mirror and silvery sidelights so at the holidays I like to play up the glam and glitter. One side of the vanity holds this grouping of objects while the other holds my grandmother's Art Nouveau silver dresser set.

Now that's thinking out of the box - 'fake' copies of things you have in your garden, and sparkly to reflect the weather.... I like it :) Thanks for this, Linda!
