Inexpensive French Country Spring Flower Arrangement

You can put together inexpensive Spring arrangement of French Country silk flowers just like I did.  I think it looks great - let me know what you think.

I found some lavender sprigs at the Dollar Store; the yellow Peonies are from HomeSense, and the French lace scarf is from Winner's. I found the blue French shopping basket (woven vinyl) at The Christmas Tree Shops and I picked up some nice silk branches at Hobby Lobby (on one of my shopping runs to Amherst).

Right now the arrangement is sitting at the bottom of my stairs. It looks equally good in my upstairs hallway, in my bedroom and on the dining room table - I think it will get moved around a lot.

French Country draperies are finished!

It took two weeks but I've finally finished my living room and dining room drapes.
Excuse my photographs - I'm not the best photographer and I took these with my phone.
I do love them. Let me know what you think.

I couldn't believe how easy it was to make them. I thought that making the pleats by hand would be difficult, but it was easy.

I will be posting a tutorial on how to make your own drapes soon.

In the meantime, your comments and feedback are appreciated.
