All Nature Sings!

I fell  t o t a l l y  in love with this conservatory
many, many years ago on the other side of the Prairie.

It was  e x t r e m e m l y  expensive. . .n o t  at all within my budget.
But definitely in keeping with my taste!!!

I visited this little Flower Boutique every chance that I could.
. . .and every time I visited, I did the  s a m e  thing.

I would stop  d i r e c t l y  in front of the conservatory 
and *sigh*  h e a v i l y,  look at the price tag,
*sigh* again and then move on 
knowing I couldn't possibly  a f f o r d  it.

Then,
on a cold snowy, wintry day in late January,
I visited the boutique after getting my hair cut.

Dear ones, 
I stopped 'dead in my tracks' when I saw a $ale tag 
attached to the conservatory!!!

This year, 
I brought the conservatory up from Studio One
and have added natural elements to its interior for Christmas.

By removing the lid,
I placed three white crackled terra cotta pots in the base.
Three green moss balls where placed atop each pot.
Then each pot was tied around the middle with a satin wired bow.

"Mr. Ed" and I bleached pine cones before Thanksgiving. . .
I adore how the creamy white 
and natural brown compliments the conservatory.

By adding the Angel Tree Topper and my favorite Charles Dickens saying,
the subtle, simplistic design continues 
atop the vintage sewing machine cabinet.
