I just love fresh roses. :)
I *especially* love the multicolored ones- it’s like a rainbow of roses! :)
My favorite grocery store has these gorgeous buds for $7 a dozen– so I try to pick some up when I know we’re having company over.
The only problem with that is then I have to arrange them myself. And I am just terrible at that! Is that just me? Does anyone else lack the necessary gene required to neatly arrange roses in a vase?? :p
But they match the kitchen pretty good, huh?? :)
Check out that vase… This is *definitely* a “company’s coming over” vase!! :) It was custom made and engraved by Paula from Plays with Mud.. And look at that- she used a Pea Font! :) That’s Pea Lacy Chunky. Isn’t that cool?? :)
Can you *believe* that gorgeous detailing?? Outta this world!
Look what else Paula came up with.. Oh my goodness… I admit, when I first saw these mini vases (engraved with Create, Inspire, Dream), I wanted to snatch them right up and use them in my scraproom! :)
Can you imagine all the cute stuff I could hold in here?? Colored pencils, pens, brushes… Meep!
Yes. These vases are so cute, I actually “meep’d”. I’m not even sure what a meep is. It just slipped out.
But I’ll have to wait… cause THESE mini vases are going to one of you!! :)
Time’s up!! Scroll down to see who won!! :)
