hi all, just like last year the flea market season is beginning this weekend. i always use branches/flowers/etc to decorate my table, but buying them every weekend gets pricey.

anyone have a few branches in their yard they can spare?

    Bp, lostingwh will likely hurt me, but why not "borrow" some from the cherry blossom trees in the cemetary?

    hah. last year when i made this same request i intimated that might be something i'd do, but likely not. i got ripped to pieces.

    there will be no stealing of flora

    That's why I said "borrow!" But maybe the, um, harsh wind storms have blown some onto the ground.

    I saw some white stark branches at ikea last weekend for cheap. Bet they would actually look great with your pottery and would last as long as you cared for them.

    bp if you wait a month or two when some plants start to grow, you can cut branches off some of my stuff.

    armchair, if you read the posts you'll see that i'm NOT a flower thief.

    and, you've met me. if you think i would have resembled this little girl when i was a child then you need some glasses, my friend. or, at least a test for color blindness

    BP check with your local office buildings, restaurants, fancy apt. buildings, etc. They usually have a flower arrangement in their lobbies/offices. All these places get new flower deliveries every week and throw away the old arrangement maybe you can take those.
    Also, don't pussy willow branches last a long time? Maybe if you can find some of those you can use for more than a week.
