It runs in the family

We were definitely raised with a can-do spirit. Why buy it if you can make it yourself!? There is a fabulous, and I mean FABULOUS store near my sister called Three French Hens. We made a quick visit last weekend. I would have liked to stayed longer but we had the crew with us which makes lingering very difficult. I have to add, though, that the owners of the store are very, very welcoming to children. They give them a cup of animal crackers and make you feel like it won't matter if your kid breaks something. That's very gracious of them, don't you think? Anyway, Tracy spied this flower arrangement and fell in love with everything except the price tag of $300.00 (which is actually pretty darn reasonable for an arrangement of this size) but, why buy it if you can make it!? So, she made a version that fit her table a little better. IT'S AWESOME! Don't you think!? I think she did a great job. She still spent quit a bit and that's with 1/2 off flowers and such but she did great!
