Flora Danica

 I went to an estate sale last week with my partner in crime for the sole purpose of taking photos for you guys...

but I couldn't resist leaving without this wonderful wooden crate.
 

 I thought the words "Flora Danica" rang a bell.

I recalled something about a very expensive china pattern rendered with botanical flowers.

I've seen a lot of great wooden crates but nothing like this one before and with a price tag of one dollar it was impossible to leave behind!

I cleaned it up and placed inside it a couple of orchids I recently purchased at Trader Joe's and...

 

Voila!

A great start to a fabulous arrangement if I may say so myself! 

I think some moss and a whimsical touch or two and I'll have myself a lovely Spring  arrangement.

That was easy!
