A Flower Refresh ~ Part 2

/4 Comments/in , /by

 

Good Morning Everyone,

I decided to take Monday off from the blog and go to Hobby Lobby. I wanted to take a look at some Christmas ornaments because they were on sale for 40%! I found some really good items for my trees and some items for a wreath to put out on the front porch. 

Last Wednesday I mentioned that I was on the hunt for some faux magnolias. Well at first I went to Michaels then Hobby Lobby. I found some there but they were quite expensive. So I ended up going to Walmart for a few things and found the magnolia stems below. Aren’t they gorgeous!?

These are the magnolia stems from Mainstays are they are super affordable! There are other stems that are available if you can’t purchase these. There are these and these beautiful pink ones. I also added a beautiful faux fern bush to make the arrangement lusher. 

This is the new arrangement in our bedroom. Most of these stems were from Hobby Lobby. The last time that I did a flower refresh was in 2019 which was not that long ago. I noticed that my home decor style is beginning to change. It could be that I am about to step into a new decade. The flower refresh that I did last year was for my office. I have a few more arrangments that I will be changing out but I am not in a hurry. 

I hope this inspires you all to take a second look at faux flowers. They have really come a long way.

    Hey Mrs.Shockley,

    While I certainly enjoy your blogs, it's always good to have a break from anything really. Christmas ornaments? So glad I'm not the only one thinking of Christmas already. I have purchased a few rolls of gorgeous gift wrap ribbon. I plan to use less bags. I will have to check out Hobby Lobbys ornaments. Bet yours are so pretty. I seriously need to check out faux flowers. My flower gardens are dying down, and I like to order my groceries for delivery so I have to be intentional about going in for flowers or just wait for some from my husband.

    Take care,

    Mya

      Hey Mya,
      Yes I do have Christmas on the brain. Ahh using less bags. I agree. I tried that last year. It gives the receiver the thought that you put much effort into their gift and that you care. I found some really nice ornaments at Hobby Lobby. You have your groceries delivered? I have been thinking about trying that. But I do like to go in and look at things. Sometimes I find the best foods to try. As far as flowers I have been buying a lot of babies breath recently. It's cheap, fragrant, and lasts a long time. You take care as well!
