Blooming Lamp

Hey guys! I jumped on the band wagon and made a "blooming lamp" as Kara calls it head over to her blog and check out her awesome tutorial.  I had this extra urn vase and lamp laying around so I decided to put it to use. I made a spring arrangement and I think I will change this out as the seasons go.

Here are some close- ups of the arrangement.




Here is how it looks with the light off. I love how it turned out! I put this in the same room where my entertainment center is and it matches my runner I love it!! 


           Well thats it for today guys I hope you enjoyed my Blooming Lamp. I am joining Carrie, Susan, Kara and  Marty. If I find anymore parties I can join I will be sure to add to them. Have a great day!!
