the beehive




we have a small spot in the store packed full of treasures, both antique and vintage. old wicker chairs, etchings, prints, vases and plates. it's called the beehive after a consignment store marnie had years ago. before she was a florist she was a collector. well, she still is a collector, and occasionally she brings in a some pieces to sell. i grabbed a few of them and filled them with bits of berries, a few roses, some autumn leaves. we love when people bring their own treasures to the shop and let us do the same. also ,so easy to do yourself. here i've filled an antique glass bottle with a favorite new rose, chili, a touch of tonya berry and a leaf. a toby jug has just 2 rodeo roses , a touch of hypericum berry and a few holland mums. a blue and white gravy boat has 2 coffee break and i chili rose,a few bronze mums, leaves and ornamental chili peppers. simple, personal and charming.
