Simple Simple Vase for the Office

I decided I am going to try to keep fresh flowers on my desk at work as often as I can this school year - so here is the pretty little vase I made last night. You know how I love Starbucks Frappuchino bottle!
I just spray painted a tall one white - added a black and white ribbon that matches the decor in my office - (I have this ribbon around my bulletin board) added a string of stick on beads and a gold letter G.
I will cut some of my roses before I leave for work this morning but for now I added a couple of stalks of bamboo to show it off.

These are the roses I have blooming right now in my flower beds. I cut these last week and they lasted all week.

    I LOVE the idea that you are going to have fresh flowers with you as often as possible! It is so important to make loving gestures to others - it is hard to remember to do so for ourselves. This is terrific! And all the more so in your pretty, home mde vase! :)
    I discovered you on the Blog Hop on alittleunhinged.com. I hope you'll come by to see me!
