Time to take down the Christmas tree!
Q: With the Holidays now behind us, it will soon be time to take down the Christmas tree. Any ideas as to what I can place in that empty space in front of the window? Smiles…Thanks so much!
A: Here’s an idea, go to your florist and order a Ficus tree and bring a little life inside for the rest of the winter season. Your florist can provide pot covers for your plant baskets or maybe pottery with a touch of color in an array of shapes & textures to accent your home décor.
Feeling the after Christmas let down? Try a vase of flowers on your table for the next few weeks and feel the difference! Some flowers will last a week or two. Changing the water often will help them last even longer.
Tulips & spring flowers give you immediate gratification but may not last as long. Talk to your florist & they can tell you what spring flowers and longer lasting flowers go together the best. Buying flowers does not need to be expensive! Premade mixed bouquets are available at your florist.
Remember, don’t fall into the post Holiday blues! Spruce up your home and enjoy the beginning of the New Year!
