We moved into our new home 6 months ago, and I still feel like I'm moving in. It's much smaller than our old place, so a lot of things stayed in boxes in our basement.
I have been going through them every day week month trying to get rid of things.
I was just going through a box yesterday when I located my floral stem bin. I opened it to see what I could get rid of when I found some Fall stems I forgot I had.
{so glad I did not buy some two days ago and shopped my home instead!}
I hauled them out and quickly put together a fall arrangement.
Is it the most stunning? no. The most beautiful? probably not. Is it perfect for me? Absolutely.
I get to enjoy fall colors without spending a dime!
The second arrangement was made using other items I found in that bin. The pieces were originally intended for a different project, but for now, their on display.
Again, is it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? Probably not.
It needs more beads to cover the stems and could use some other things, but it was Free...and I always love free.
They bring me joy to look at them. I love Fall colors and these really bring a great pop of color into my home.
Shop your home and see what you can come up with. You may just find something that will bring you joy to set up and display.

I just did the same thing today!!!
As a florist... sometimes I cringe at what I come up with... using scraps and what not- but it's frugal and better than nothing. :)
ps. As a "professional florist" I think that you did fabulously!!!
I love the beads in your arrangement...what a cute idea!
Love the beads, too. Isn't it fun when you realize you have an instant collection or in your case arrangement? So true...shop your home! New follower..love the name of your blog
