cheap thrills...free flowers

I do love a flower arrangement...especially when it's free.  I nicked these flowers from work yesterday...it's ok, I'm allowed and we get new ones every Monday :)
I never put flowers in this spot in the house...they're normally on the dining table.. but I really like it.
And that's what it looks like at night time...
The light is made from a bamboo lantern that I took the candle out of,  wrapped the fairy lights in tulle and just shoved them in. It doesn't appear to be a fire hazard:) I wrote about that here and here.
I got the fairy light wrapping idea from Simone's beach vintage blog (but she'd made a fantastic lightshade with white tulle for her daughter's room). 
Have a wonderful weekend won't you...

  9. Funny that you put flowers beside your tv. I usually have mine on the fireplace and the last lot went beside the tv so I could see them at the same time. Hope you had a fabulous time at your dinner party (menu sounded great) and enjoyed the rest of the weekend. M

  10. Just gorgeous - so you! Bright and colourful. But no doilies? ;o)

    I love bunches of flowers for under $10 from Coles/Woolies and have discovered the little flower mart at Wiffins Fyshwick.

  12. Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this
    blog loading? I'm trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  14. I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing issues with your blog. It appears as if some of the written text within your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This could be a problem with my browser because I've had this happen previously.

    Many thanks

  15. Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
    wonderful blog!

  16. Hey there just wanted to give you a brief heads
    up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading correctly. I'm
    not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
