Facile et simple ~

I mentioned in my last post that I had cut some eucalyptus branches from a near by bridle path. I love them, they make the house smell delicious and dry beautifully ~ plus they are free! My favorite way to use them is in a Moroccan vase on the kitchen island. A simple arrangement, but with a large impact. These will last for several weeks or until I tire of them.
 
With the left-over branches...
 
 
I made an arrangement for the interior hall. I combined them in a basket with Sea Lavender, Baby's Breath and Hydrangeas, all that I had dried earlier in the summer. Easy and simple.
 
 
Sometimes easy and simple is the best!
 
Thank you for visiting I hope you are having a lovely autumn day.

  5. Lush and lovely arrangements.
    Does miss Twiggly jump up and try to disassemble these? My two cats are real trouble when I bring flowers and foliage inside and arrange them in vases.

    1. No, she is pretty good about it...of course she always "investigates". but remember, she has her own little garden LOL although she hasn't been very good at watering it ~ she keeps forgetting!
