A 'friend' (she is shy) sent us these photos of flowers made from cut-up, painted plastic bottles from the downtown Anthropologie. She knew we would enjoy them and we hope you do too.
Wouldn't it be a blast to spend a day with the creative team that puts these ideas together. Hint, hint! -- Lisa
ps...even though she is shy, she asked permission to take photos...always good ettiquette.
Every time Bob jokes and says 'You're FIRED!', I smile and tell him I'm on my way to Anthro to work as a display stylist. ;0) LOVE the ideas they come up with...
Aren't those flowers cool?? I read a tutorial somewhere- they are plastic beverage bottles cut off near the top with the petals shaped with scissors! That's a lot of work!!
Why have I never looked at your blog before? I L.O.V.E. it! I've thoroughly enjoyed looking at your old posts. Check out our site..we hold many events and flea markets during the summertime... p.s. I deleted my first comment because I spelled my name wrong..(ha ha) Lisa :-)
From sword ferns to garden art; from free piles to a studio; from retail to a book. We have lots of fun things planned in our next chapter. Join us on our adventures to see what happens next! -- Beth & Lisa
