A Berry-and-House-Foraged Bouquet<\/h3>\n

Yesterday, while strolling down a neighborhood street, I was struck by the abundance of Ligustrum berries blooming all over the hood. \u00a0I was so drawn into their delicate shape and blue-black color that I collected a few branches and strolled on home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to make an arrangement, but I had no clear vision. \u00a0Maybe just a berry bouquet? or a berry wreath? \u00a0But since I was short on time, I just filled up my perfectly sized crystal vase. \u00a0Seriously, if you want only one vase in your house, this is the one!\u00a0 Something footed raises up the arrangement and gives height and the weight of the glass is heavy so nothing tips and best part….it can go through the dishwasher! \u00a0 Love it! And love that it came from Mama Sneed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I inserted the berry branches into the vase and then shopped the house for additional flowers.<\/p>\n

House Shopping Score #1. \u00a0Red Roses.<\/strong>\u00a0 I had a few roses prettying up the house. So I pulled a few and added them to the Berry Vase Delight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

House Shopping Score #2: Stargazer Lilies.<\/strong> \u00a0Last week my dear ol’ dad was visiting us down here in Austin and I had purchased a few fragrant lilies for his room. Sadly, he traveled back home a few days ago….but the lilies remained. \u00a0Out of their Anthropologie vase and into the Berry Delight they went.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

House Shopping Score #3: Single pink rose. <\/strong> I pulled a single light pink rose from my table centerpiece, and added it to the berry delight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looks stunning next to the blue-black berries. \u00a0Gives it a vintage feel, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

May you be inspired to see the beautiful bits of nature all around you and enjoy them fully.<\/p>\n
