GIVEAWAY IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST...
Let's take another look at the lowly mum!
Used with some thought, Mum's are really lovely flowers! I think they have been quite maligned!
Is it because they are considered the cheap flower in a bouquet... known as "hardy".... have a very distinctive smell... or have been primarily used for outdoor use?
Mums are great economical burst of color. I say," bring them inside and let them take center stage"! This is their season and their time has come! Use them to add a little happiness to your decor!
I used these pretty green and white mums to brighten up a window sill. Lining them up in little vases makes a sweet arrangement. This would look great on a table too... or on the bathroom sink... or on a shelf.
Take your mums out of those ugly black plastic pots! Repot them. Think outside the container!
And who knows you just might be captivated by these sweet and simple offerings of Autumn!

ReplyDeleteLove mums inside. I've always been a fan of them outside, but never really thought to using them inside until a friend recently brought me an adorable arrangement - they put a spring in my step every time I walk by.
Carnations are another frowned upon inexpensive flower, but they're my favorite. The smell of carnations puts me over the moon!
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!
