For the love of house plants.

I love love love having flowers in the house. 

I just can't keep them alive
Just call me "death-thumb" but 
I can't keep green things alive for the life of me 
(pun-tended). 

Fortunately for me I've got these babies: 



Aren't they great? 





I found a wonderful tutorial over here for these rolled paper beauties. 

I didn't know where to look for florist wire here in Korea, 
so I just trimmed down some old wire hangers 
and covered them in green tissue paper. 

Add a mason jar and some coffee beans 
(my husband graciously sacrificed some)
and you're done! 



If you want to get fancy you can even spray them 
with a bit of your favorite perfume! 

The best part is that I can't kill 'em.

  7. Moto could kill them....if he's anything like Misi, who eats real flowers and anything paper, while staring at me to see how I'll react. Freaking cat.

    They're beautiful :) I think I'll have to try this for my house!
