my pretty little fakies.

Sometimes fake flowers are lame.  Most of them remind me of my grandma.  Which is ok…if you’re a grandma, but I prefer mine fresh cut.  BUT….since that’s not always an option in the winter, I was excited to find these cute little fakies at Michael’s this weekend.  They add a little ray of sunshine to my house, and it makes me happy….even if they still look a little fake.  I’m ok with it.

  1. Aw I like those! I agree, in the winter fake flowers are totally okay.

  2. I have a giant fake peony in my bathroom, so I’m going to say it’s perfectly fine to display the fakies! I love spring because then I can bring in roses, lilacs and irises from my yard, but until then, I guess fake will have to do!

    Also, I saw that you added my button (thanks!) and I was wondering if you had one I could add to my blog?

  3. I love the little cup the flowers are in! My grandma had tons of dishware like that and I’ve always loved it!

  4. Oh they’re so cute! I like that they don’t try and disguise the fact they’re fake, but embrace it! It’s very Tim Burton!

  5. I love them. gorgeous.

  6. I have never been into fake flowers either, but they are cute, and some yellow in the middle of rain can never hurt!

  7. These are actually pretty fake flowers. I found some really brightly colored ones at hobby lobby this weekend I thought about getting, but I made some instead.

  8. Sometimes they do just fine! I’m amazed at some of the “fakes” these. day. My BFF is a whiz at making gorgeous faux arrangements. 1/2 the time no one is the wiser!

  9. I loveee fake flowers. I think they brighten up any room lovely. I tie a cute ribbon around mine and put in multiple flowers. It may look more fake but they make me happy. Which is all that matters I suppose. Ha ha.
    Enjoy your fakies! 😉

  10. ohhhh ranunculus! We are having those in our wedding flowers!!!!!

  11. These are great. I love flowers, and I don’t really like fake ones. I call them dust collectors because that’s what they are. 😉 However, I do have to agree here…it’s not easy to find cute flowers in winter, and we all need some sunshine…so this yellow flower you found looks perfect!!!! I need to get me one, or two, too. 😀

  12. i have some yellow fake flowers that i always have in my home… from michael’s too… i need flowers in my home and since i don’t have any flowers in my yard (besides gardenia in the spring and summer) and dan is cheap, i have to display the fakes…. and it’s totally okay with me!
    love your fakies.

    thanks for adding my button! as soon as yours is made, let me know so i can add it! love ya friend!

  15. i LOVE that quote. and flowers. but really i love that quote.

    and fake flowers are okay…cause they do brighten things up. but certainely there is nothing like fresh cut.

  16. i don’t really like fake flowers either but those look pretty real!

  17. fakies are fun sometimes!
    but i like the vases a lot!
    friends are like flowers. you gotta water them to keep them strong:)

  18. so true! fake flowers remind me of my grandma! actually, my parents had a set back i l.a. and one of them had fake water drops, too! i make fun of them and give my parents a hard time for being to cheap to get real flowers 🙂

  19. I can relate, Lauren! i have a bit of a thing with fake fruit. For some reason, I think it is cute – and it totally reminds of me of my gram, too. she has tons of fake grapes around the house!

  20. I love flowers in the house and try to always have fresh ones when I can. One day when I am not living so frugally post-student life I have vowed the first thing will to always always have flowers in the house. It not only keeps me inspired but forever brightens my day.

  21. those acutally look super pretty! i love the vase and the color of your flower! it’s like an essence of happiness! i love yellow flowers!

  22. Aww I love that quote from the Holy Quran.
    I loveeee fresh flowers, too-but reading this makes me think of giving fake flowers a try!

  23. I use to collect fake flowers and place them in a diary entry with the meaning of its shade… 🙂

  24. cute milk glass vase!

  25. I like fake flowers too sometimes! I had some in my room at school and they totally brightened my day. Your yellow ones are so pretty!

  26. i love your fakies!

  27. very cute! and not grandma-ish at all. if you saw the amount of fake flowers my mom keeps in my house you would barf. i am seriously hoping it’s not a genetic trait thats gonna hit me in my 50s.
