It’s December – Time to Decorate (part 1)

The bad news is that the flowers and plants have died, and the leaves have fallen. :(

The good news is that you can decorate outside your home, and it will last all winter!  :)

FlowersFlowers has greens (magnolia, pine, cedar), winterberry, and dogwood, along with wreaths for your door. This is one of the the pair of urns we decorated for one of the beautiful homes here in Evanston.

Here’s what the outside of our shop looks like as we approach the month of December (makes you want to come in, right?)…

Time to Decorate (part 2) will provide you with ideas and possibilities for indoor decorations. Stay tuned for more from the blog!

 


September 2009

Labor Day is behind us, and the big, lush, hardy mums in the front of the shop signify that fall is arriving; they’re in shades of burgundies and red, yellows and butterscotch. These plants look perfect in urns in front of your home, or in simple baskets on a front porch.

With the days getting shorter and the nights getting cooler, Mother Nature has made a significant transition from summer flowers to fall flowers. The store is filled with shades of oranges and reds and purples.


The hydrangea colors are in transition from the pure pinks and lavenders to the multi-colored antique varieties. Whether you like greens/reds or blues/purples, there’s sure to be a hydrangea variety to love.

And, did we say BERRIES?!?!? We have rose hips, aronia berries, privet, hypericum, and they vary in shades from chartreuse green to reds and oranges to the color of a blueberry. Many berries have all sorts of health benefits, but these will be beneficial to your decor!
The store is filled with gorgeous bright fall colors….let your senses be delighted with red celosia, orange callas, pink zinnias, and much much more.


As the days get cooler, be sure to bring flowers inside to enjoy!
