If I were rich beyond reason there’s no doubt I’d be surrounding myself with fresh flowers, live berries and fruits all the time. Flowers next to the toilets, flowers overflowing window boxes, I would drive a parade float around town instead of my mommymobile..


But, since I’ve been given a different sort of riches, I decided to shop the house and grabbed this yard sale urn.


And combined it with these lovely, light spa green pretend berry type things that I plucked from my fall/winter wreath. All this time they’ve been ignored and under appreciated because I was assuming that I could only utilize them half the year. I can just stick them back in the wreath when I’m ready to hang it again.


Have you shopped your house lately? Why not look at those Christmas berries through your July colored glasses and find a new way to use them? What seasonal item have you repurposed lately?
