Create Beauty



I happen to believe that beauty is a gift that we can introduce into our lives. One of the things that gives me great pleasure is the sight of flowers, so I often bring them into my home.  I am fortunate to have a garden so this doesn't mean that I have to spend a lot of money.  If I didn't have a garden, I would find wild flowers. I look for interesting branches in the winter months or shop grocery store flower departments for inexpensive blooms. Beauty is all around us. 

At this particular time, after a hot dry summer, there is very little in bloom in the garden. But there were some white flowers: phlox, hydrangea and veronica.  And so I gathered a few stems of each and came up with this arrangement to bring indoors. Simple, elegant and beautiful!
