This is a new game, "Whats in the box", I love boxes, even as a kid I filled them with stuff and pretended they were for what ever was needed for my day dream of the day. Now this box is big bright and pink, it should contain fabulous shoes. Well, no, my daughter has the shoes and I have the box. Is there something wrong with that... :) So lets open the box.........
TA DA! This where I keep my ribbon flowers, I love them they are so gorgeous, again my love of ribbon coming out. I made a tray to fit in the box so I could get more in and not crush the flowers.
Here I have mostly roses, but there is a big white silk pansy, silk really makes the softest and prettiest flowers, but it is a bit spendie.
Here we have the bottom section I made little areas to keep each type of flower separate, it makes them easier to find when I need them. I have pansies in one section, leaves in another, fuchsias , sweet peas, roses, and 2 kinds of fillers flowers.
Here is a close up of the top tray. You can see the little roses peeking thru, the hot pink rose is quite involved and takes almost 3 yards of ribbon, the same with the lighter pink one. The white and gold organdy roses on the left were made for a 10th anniversary cake for a dear friend, and I also used them on a wedding cake for another dear friend. Well that's what is in this box. There may be more to come. Do you have a box with fabulous lovelies in it? TTFN

LOVELY!!! I love silk flowers too, don't have many but am always on the lookout to buy some. I can't make them myself, duh! So sometimes go to a store where they sell flowers on stems, lol. I cut the stems off and hey presto, new flowers to craft with :)
Love the box. This is how it goes at our house, except YOUR daughter at least gives the box to you. Mine keeps it all to herself! and killer shoes. {there IS something wrong with that. when was the last time YOU bought such spendy shoes??moi? a hundred years ago}

Wanda, Oh what pretty roses and other flowers! Such a sweet box too.
Have a lovely Sunday ~Mary~ :-}
How wonderful is that! I love the box and the ribbon flowers. What a nice re-use of something.
I do like the ribbon flowers. Thanks for the peak into your box.
They are amazing.
I do not have any 'Photoshop' sort of thingys. Just what came on my PC, manage to fluff around by overlaying images and photos on each other and scanning them. Have something to blur edges and I just muddle along.

Hi Wanda - thanks for popping in on your way home from Lilla's! Your blog is very inspiring and your work is beautiful. I shall keep an eye on you!!
What a neat way to keep all your "pretties". I love all your silk flowers!
I love ribbon, too! I have a great friend in the Twin Cities who has the most extensive collection of vintage ribbon. Your site is going to be that I will frequent! Thanks for visiting me. Anita
Hi Wanda, oh I love your box full of ribbon flowers. Just gorgeous!
So nice to meet you and thank you for stopping by and your sweet comment.
I enjoyed visiting your lovely blog. The ribbon flowers are wondeful to create with as well. I have a few, but would love to make a bunch for spring. A good front of the TV project. LOL.
Hope to see you again.
Have a great week.
hugs, Celestina Marie
whoa!
Thank you for lovely comment
The roses are pretty...my favorite flower other than Lavender and Gerbera Daisies. Betsey Johnson is one of my all time favorite designers...she's a wild woman after my own heart..LOL
I'm coveting that box of yours. So beautiful!
