With the garden practically bare of flowers, this is the time of year when I use more plants to decorate the home. And sometimes to gift to friends.
If you have a pretty basket, then a few inexpensive bedding plants are all you need to make a lovely composition..
Simply line the basket with a sturdy plastic bag, and place your bedding plants in, being careful to position them so the basket is pretty seen from all sides.
I put a couple of white roses in the centre, and some tiny white pansies all around the edges.
I like to add some moss to fill any gaps, and the moss makes it look more finished and professional. Moss can often be bought at florists, personally I know a country lane, bordered by high moss covered banks!

Bonne journée,

Sharon, thank you for this. Question, I see that in the tureen you have unpotted the plant. Do you do that in the basket as well? Many thanks. Angela
Sharon,
thanks for the demo! Love the basket and the tureen idea is great….I think I will be looking for cheap tureens now at Goodwill, just so I can use that as a gift!!

Another masterpiece! That is a very clever idea and I like the plant in the tureen too. Who wouldn't want to receive a gift like this! 🙂
Simple and elegant…… my favourite style of arrangements.
So pretty! Thanks for sharing!!

If I saw you coming down the lane toward my door with that basket of flowers in hand, I would put the kettle on, whip up a batch of crepes and bring out my favorite book of poetry to read to you while we toasted our toes beside the hearth in my kitchen.
C'est réussi mais combien de temps ça tient ? Car des pensées sont pas faites pour rentrer dans une maison, vous les mettez dans une place moins chauffé ?
I just love these easy decorating projects Sharon..they can make such a difference to a day. Looking forward to your winter creations too…
Best wishes for a lovely weekend…
