I have all of the seasonal notebooks as well. That woman has amazing style and an enormous budget. I do the exact same thing as you...look at the book and try to find similar containers at the thrift store or on eBay. In fact, the wire basket in the photo above is one that I have found. I got an exact one on eBay for under $15 with shipping. Now I need to grow enough flowers to do an arrangement in it.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825039868494296556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-87743499998238337602009-02-06T07:21:00.000-05:002009-02-06T07:21:00.000-05:00Oh yes, you're right, I know I DO need flowers, mo...Oh yes, you're right, I know I DO need flowers, most of the time, and now more than ever with winter stretching on and on and on...
