Modern Love


Purple is my favorite color. So fresh, so funky.  This mod vase in thumbprint glass is a beautiful irridescent plum-purple and compliments our steel grey and black furniture. The vase was $2 at a local shop. The flowers are fresh green mums picked up today gratis at a local grocer. I love the way the purple really makes the green flowers "pop" and gives the display a retro vibe. Thrifty tip: Flower shops or floral departments at the grocers frequently have free flowers available just for the asking. These are often single stems that either broke and are too short to sell or are nearing the end of their acceptable shelf life.  Perhaps they'll only last a day or two, but that's no problem considering the price.
