A Woman’s Prerogative!

I wanted to talk about my right to wake up one morning and feel the need to change everything! But first I had to learn to spell prerogative. I think I’ve been pronouncing it  ‘perogative’ my whole life….which is probably not the same thing at all! lol

I needed to add some color! I needed FLOWERS!

So I told my husband I was going to make a quick trip to the big store that is very close to our house that starts with a W…that has everything! I usually stay on the grocery side of the store. But today I planned to buy a pot plant or some fresh cut flowers. He suggested I look at the silk flowers. I expected them to look ‘cheap’ but I was pleasantly surprised! (and I like the idea of carefree flowers…no water, no fuss!) I bought 1 bunch for $5, 1 for $3 and 3 small bunches for 97 cents each. What a BARGAIN! And I had fun arranging them in baskets I already had at home.

My main goal was a pretty arrangement for my kitchen table.

And I think these are perfect. Some color but not too bright and ‘fakey’.

Then I put birds at the base.

Then I put the birds on some small books.

I made a little arrangement of the 97 cent flowers in this pretty basket for the lanai.

Isn’t this little painted basket pretty?

I wanted the big sunflowers but didn’t really want to make another arrangement so I stuck them in this basket as I walked by.

It’s in the foyer next to the front door.

Oh…..and then I went back and put all the birds and books back on the bookshelf and found some rooster salt and pepper shakers.

There….MUCH BETTER! heehee!

Do you look around sometimes and think that you can’t stand something a minute longer…time for a change?

I’m thankful to be a woman!

Now if only I could find some new oval placemats!
