Hopefully we all said goodbye LONG ago to fake IVY, especially draped along the tops of our kitchen cabinets! I know I did. But greenery also adds a lot to decor. It brings an element of naturalism into our homes. The problem is, I don't like to take care of real plants! So I've come up with an alternative. I purchase the most realistic looking greenery at hobby lobby, stick them in pots, and "plant" them around my house. Most people think they are real! I never buy it full price. It always seems to be...

Robyn~Yay! Congratulations~it looks great! I'm following you and can't wait to see what you're up to. :)
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I build my cabinets with these old window frames, I'm buying greenery. I need something green and you always seemed to find the most real stuff. Thanks for the tip. I still remember your fake birthday cake that I about ate. See? You're good!
ReplyDeleteWe are just getting a Hobby Lobby here. I am so excited!
ReplyDeleteI am going to Hob Lob on Wednesday!

I found your blog as I was reading through Kelly's Korner, and you are on my favorites now. Love the ideas and the decor!
ReplyDeleteI found you through "Positively Splendid"...I love your wreath! I agree with you about finding good looking fake greenery at HL. I have some of the same items you have in your blog "growing" in the urns by my front door to fill in where live plants have given up in the heat this summer.
