I rediscovered my love of simple and easy entertaining recently.
And it all started with a trio of cabbage.
Sometimes simple is just perfect.
It isn’t too involved.
It doesn’t require a ton of extra time or energy
and it is something where the ordinary can be transformed into the extraordinary.
Like a cabbage
that takes your everyday average table to the next level.
Seriously a cabbage vase is one of the simplest things to create for your next get together.
And something that looks like this on your table:
But that was easy as 1,2,3 to create?
Yes, please.
Here’s what you need.
cabbage
small jar
flowers
and how to do it
Slice the bottom of your cabbage so that it sits flat
Measure the size of the hole you will need for your jar
and hollow out the cabbage accordingly
(basically like carving a pumpkin)
Make sure your jar fits- and is level with the top of the cabbage
Add a little water
Trim your flowers to size for the small jar
and arrange
And enjoy!
Oh – and I did make that quick video to share with you.
But honestly between the construction noise inside the house
and the torrential downpour of rain outside and me just getting over a sinus bug –
it was a challenge to get it all right and I almost didn’t share it,
Its a learning process- so bear with me!
Click here to watch if it doesn’t play
and I would love if you would follow along over there if you would like as well
And please find the original table setting post HERE
Happy Wednesday
