My New Garden...

I thought of this when looking at how I was storing my flowers on the florestry foam. I love the idea of garden flower boxes and would love one of my own! I've turned this Twiddleybitz ornate shelf into a flower box and as my garden grows, I will add hooks to underneath and more flowers in the garden. I love this - partly because it's only the beginning!!!

My Ribbon Storage

Thought I'd share this with you, so far, this has been a super way of storing my ribbon, colour coded and hides some messy shelves!!


How do you keep/store your ribbons?

Storage - wired flowers

I was having difficulties finding a way to store my flowers that were still on wire - both bunches and singles. Then I came up with this idea, and it works so well!!

It's a simple idea and I kicked myself when I thought of it but if I didn't think of it before then you might not have either!


It's a florestry bowl with floristry foam I bought from a cheap shop for $2.95!

I hope you like this idea and it possibly helps you too :-)
