What a great tip. I wanted some new florals also but didn't want to spend much. I loved your cute vignette on your front porch too, how charming and perfect for spring.

Oh well at least we are all together :) Hope your little one is feeling better.<br />xo, AndreaAndrea at Opulent Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047846276519608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-15005344660121619672013-03-13T05:44:06.718-07:002013-03-13T05:44:06.718-07:00Sweet little arrangement, Elaine.
