I saw a photo on The Cedar Shake Cape (boxwood in a plant pot, zinc pot with a burlap flower) that gave me the idea to cut some boxwood, bring my zinc plant pots inside, used an Armstrong cheese box for a tray (found in my Dad's shed when I was cleaning it out Friday) and a rooster and hen green salt and pepper (from my Mom's collection). Small treasures.
I also tried a quick bit of February Greenery for the black magazine table. I dry-potted the boxwood. My boxwood Christmas wreath still holds its colour so I didn't worry about the boxwood branches in the pots.
and used one bunch of boxwood in a vignette in my small portable lightbox.

Don't you just love boxwood? It just perks everything up.

Lovely ... when we had our house we had boxwood on either side of the front door. Loved it.

A versatile pot of boxwood branches for a touch of green, accompanied by the green rooster and hen.
ReplyDeleteDid you put the branches in oasis or just water Joy?
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
All are very pretty arrangements--they bring a bit of spring into the home!
ReplyDeleteA very charming vignette, Joy. Even though it may be bitter cold outside, having some pretty greenery inside, makes if feel like spring.

ReplyDeleteThat's really sweet! I think I need some boxwood in my life :)
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration Joy! I worked in the garden today and my boxwood is all pretty and green. Usually quite yellow at this time of year. I have two of those exact pots. May need to bring some inside. Can I just tell you that I am drooling over the S&P shakers. Love that shade of green!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.

Boxwood is one of my favorites in the garden. The color is beautiful and I especially love it with your zinc pots.
