Easy Flower Arranger

Last week I stumbled upon the "Easy Arranger" in one of my favorite stores, Heliotrope. This is one of those products that I have always been looking for but never knew it. I love buying fresh flowers at the farmer's market. They are inexpensive and I love the way they brighten our house. However, I hate the way they haphazardly fall in the vase. I've tried florist foam, but I hate seeing it in the bottom of a vase. 

I was so excited when I saw the Easy Arranger. It is a metal, flower shaped apparatus that you place on top of a vase. Fold the outside edge of the flower shaped arranger around the edge of your vase to hold it in place and put flowers in the holes. The flowers stand up exactly where I want them to. 

I bought the set of three for $12. The individual ones are $6. I am so happy with the outcome, I want to get one of these for everyone I know.

The above flowers were arranged for our Mardi Gras party using the Easy Arranger. 

Luckily, Heliotrope ships. Click here for the direct link to purchase an Easy Arranger from Heliotrope. 

Adele

I love love LOVE Adele, and I have since I stumbled on her song Best for Last on Itunes in 2008. I bought the cd, saw her in concert in a small venue here in Atlanta and bought her new cd from a local cd shop the day it came out.

She looked amazing at the Grammys. I want the hair, and the make-up. As soon as she stepped out the car I thought I must have my hair like that and I have to find my red lipstick. 

I want this dress! I love the classic lace but the polka dots make it fun.

Her performance was great. I thought her voice sounded like it needed to heal a little more. I have seen her in concert and she is amazing. She was even better than the cd. I also liked Bruno Mars' performance, hated Fergie's dress and thought it was weird that Kanye wasn't there.

Martha's Valentines Day Sorbet Sandwiches

This delicious looking treat popped up in my mailbox this morning courtesy of Martha Stewart's cookie of the day. It involves making a simple chocolate short bread cookie and placing store bought sorbet in the middle. I can't wait to make these. I can't decide if raspberry or peach sorbet would be better.
