so you wanna be a (faux) florist pt. 1

Springtime (1901) by William Henry Margetson
 
hello again! 

welcome back to the blog, friend. I'm so happy you're here. today we're talking florals -- faux florals that is. I spent a lot of last week researching about flowers to plant in containers in my mini garden and I decided on two rose bushes. we're renting our home and I wanted a little bit of color in the backyard, as well as a mini garden. 

anyway, while I was doing research, I got side tracked and started looking at all kinds of flowers and bouquets. flowers are so stunning, but they're also super expensive and a lot of them don't last very long, soooo I got to thinking I'd rather spend money on fake realistic looking stems and make my own. 

and that's what inspired this post, but I thought I'd make it into a little series, so here's part one, all about stems. next week, we'll talk about greenery. but first, let's get to the stems.

I looked on amazon and chose the ones that looked the best by the reviews; that's the first list. these are stems that I am interested in collecting and purchasing myself. the second list is the more bougie stems on the market right now. I'd love to eventually buy these as well, but like all collections, it's going to take a little bit of time. anyway, let's take a look at those pretty stems.
