Think Spring
Today does not seem like spring. However, the calender says we are several days into the season. We just need to feel like it is spring and it will be. Well, lets decide how to do that magical feat. Maybe we can concentrate on something and it will help.
Lately I have been admiring a certain vase. 
It looks like all the colors of the rainbow wrapped around a form. It is beautiful even without flowers. With some beautiful artificial flowers, it might help make the feeling of spring just leap into our heads. Maybe we can create the feeling of the season in our own living rooms, then it will spread throughout the house. When we step outside spring will be inside of us, even if the season is not apparent in our yards.
Decorating with Vases
My younger daughter gave me a beautiful vase for my birthday. For about two weeks I thought and thought about what to put into it. Finally, I decided that a fall bouquet would be perfect. At the craft store I found some beautiful greenery that fit just fine. Then I found a bouquet of fall flowers that fit in perfectly. Now each season I have only to find a bouquet of the flowers of the season and change them, leaving the greenery in the background. What fun!
Sometimes vases are so beautiful that they make a fine display specimen by themselves. However, sometimes they just call out to be filled with a beautiful flower arrangement. It is a lot of fun to find just the right thing to go into them. Sometimes a vase has sat on a shelf or been put away and we have more or less forgotten it. Taking it out again and filling it with the seasonal foliage is a fulfilling experience. It is also fun to look for and find just the right vase to fit into an area or compliment another item on a shelf. Sometimes visitors think something you have had for a long time is a new item. You can tell them or just enjoy the compliment. Have fun decorating with vases.
