I have had some flower stems laying around about five years or so, and decided to finally create something with them. Yes, they are artificial, but that is OK, I think?? I looked in my collection of empty vases, and found a cute little crystal vase that should be displayed and not hidden in a cabinet waiting for something fresh.
Yeah, I finally got to use my handy, dandy, 15 in 1 Multi Function Tool that my sweet friend Barbara gave me for Christmas. The wire cutter was perfect for cutting those long stems. By the way, not only do I like girly stuff, I also like tools!!
Here is what I came up with...........
I needed something on my bedside table, which is really and end table, and I think this will do for now.
I love to create and repurpose items I currently have on hand. You just cannot beat free embellishments....
Have a great weekend.

What a pretty arrangement and isn't it wonderful to make something so pretty out of something you already have. I love tools too and I have the same one you have. Great tool. Hugs, Marty
That looks so pretty - great job - and you recycled, too! Linda
You did a fabulous job! I have tried and tried flower arranging but it never turns out well for me, I don't have a knack. Your arrangement is lovely!
Very pretty, Nicole! Reminds me of something romantic and Victorian...Christine
Hi Nicole, :)
The flowers came out really pretty!
You did great arranging it.
What a neat tool as well.
My hubby would love it.
Why don't you link this post up with Nancy's Red Party?

Have a wonderful evening.

I just realized we have the same Paris flower print in our guest bath!
Great minds right?? :)
Morning friend...look at you creating something so beautiful out of thing that are just around the house!
I want to thank you so much for coming by and for the sweet comment...hope you have a great weekend!
Nicole, I had to laugh about doing something creative instead of doing housework. That is so "me"! I can figure out so many ways to avoid housework. Your vase of flowers turned out so pretty. Nobody would ever notice you needed to clean house-they would just be looking at your pretty bouquet! (At least that's what I tell myself when I avoid housework!) laurie
I love it! So beautiful!
Hi Nicole...
Hehehe...you are truly a lady after my own heart!!! Who wants to clean when there's fun stuff to do...not to mention, how important it is to excersize our creative selves!!! And you did such a fabulous job doing just that...so creative and it your floral arrangement turned out so beautifully! It looks gorgeous on that table in your bedroom!!!
Okay...I just have to say it! I'M A FAUX FLOWER LOVER!!! There I said it!!! Hehe!!! Seriously, there are just so many really beautiful florals out there and they bring a softness and color into a room like nothing else can (especially for the money!) You did great, Girlfriend!
Hope you're having a super Saturday!

It turned out great! And I know what a bugger those wires can be so it's super nice to have the right tool for the right job! *winks* And that you had them lying around for about five years sounds soo much like me lol! High time for them to come out of hiding and look pretty! Vanna
Oh Nicole!! What lovely flowers! You are so talented. I could never put anything like that together! Have a great day!!...hugs...Debbie
Nicole,
Your arrangement turned out so pretty. I love silk flowers also. I use them all of the time. I made a pretty 'spring' wreath out of silk flowers a few days ago, out of old flowers that I had bought last year on clearance. I already put it on my front door. I am so ready for spring. Thanks for leaving me the sweet comments.
Hugs,
Lee Laurie
