Life in a Teacup

Shower Gifts

A group of us at work had a shower for the most deserving and un-bridezilla of them all, the wonderful Nancy.  In trying to think up an easy and inexpensive table decoration I remembered my pal Elena...ever the expedient hostess...who wowed us years ago by plunking some extra impatiens plantlets into teacups and voila! Instant arrangements.

Shannon located some castaway teacups and saucers at a thrift store and loaded them with plants fresh from their nursery six packs.  Best of all, after cheering up the tables at the shower, they all went home with the guests where they continue (hopefully, they do need to be watered almost daily) to bring smiles.

Clever, cheap, recycled and unique.  Can't beat that combination.
