"If Fairies made Flower Arrangements"

 

While photographing all the lovely "weeds" in our "Bee Lawn" this year, I realized that I had a miniature Floral Shop, of my very own at my feet; and, not only that, but every single flower was free--and, there were a lot of them!  At the very same time, I also realized that I could make all the miniature flower arrangements that I wanted to--and I wanted to!

Now, I realize that that probably sounds very strange to most of you.  But, it makes a great deal of sense to anyone who knows me well.  

They know: #1 - Never, ever send me cut flowers!  I hate watching something so beautiful and expensive slowly die; and, #2 - I love the art of flower arranging especially Ikebana.

So, here I was with a lovely morning and tons of miniature flowers of all different kinds (even little tiny "mock Strawberries)!

As I was cutting them, I was thinking about what I could use as vases and initially thought that thimbles would work; but I only had two and they were actually too tiny.  That was how I landed on spools of thread.  There they were staring at me while I was looking for thimbles.

I hope you enjoy these little sweet miniature flower arrangements and maybe even decide to make some of your very own.  I also hope you consider cultivating a bee lawn instead of killing all the clover, dandelion, and other flowering plants that our honey bees need.
