Project: Food + Flower + Style

I've had this little floral project on my to-do list for quite some time, and I finally got my act in gear to put it together. It was first posted over the summer on one of my favourite blogs, Food + Flower + Style. The arrangement is easy to assemble but the result is so elegant---and versatile, too. You can use any blossom you choose and can even change them up with new flowers as the old ones get tired.

The process is simple. Just buy some kitty grass and poke it into the container of your choice. Of course if you want the grass to last for any length of time, it's best to leave it in its plastic drainage pot and just slip that pot into a prettier one (I picked the above pots up at Ikea for $2 each). Then trim down the stem of your chosen flower---Dahlias in this instance---and gently lodge it in the bed of grass. Such a budget-friendly centerpiece for dinner parties, or even a shower or DIY wedding!

If you're not familiar with the Food + Flower + Style blog, you've got to go visit. The posts are gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to read: dreamy and contemplative yet instructive too. And it seems like they have some exciting plans in the works for fall, so check it out!

Those flower pots are SOOO cute! Love them!

Aren't they adorable? And can you believe they were only $2 each? Ikea is the best for those sorts of little home decor finds!

I am in love with these flowers...simply gorgeous!

[The City Sage]

Thanks Sweet & Saucy! The best thing about this project is that it looks so nice but requires so little labour to produce (not like those MTV movie premiere cookies I seem to recall you did a while back! i'm in the throes of a similar cookie project so I can totally feel your pain on that one!)

thanks for stopping by!

GORGEOUS! I'm going to do that at Christmas for my floral arrangement. Love your blog :)

[The City Sage]

Thanks Liz. One of my favourite things about this arrangement is how it feels so "alive" instead of just having cut stems---it will look AMAZING for the holidays. send pics if you end up making it!

And thanks for the love---I think your blog is pretty darn neat too :)

I love learning about all kinds of food and international dishes in the world and thus know the cultures and their different flavors
The important thing is to learn and killed as original .....
and I would learn everything I can from the cocktails and dishes from the kitchen high

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

The whole point of being a leader is to figure out where to go and where are you now... When your leadership has gone wrong, maybe it is because people do not know or does not see where you want to go... not unless you actively communicate

Who knows what you are capable of, it's really hard to say. Many folks are quite pleased if they can continually better themselves, and they are quite happy to see that they've achieved more than they thought they could. Some folks go
