Here at the Babs Blog, we want you to entertain as much as possible because spending time with other people is important. Unfortunately, many of us come up with great reasons why we CAN'T have people over: "the house isn't clean enough, there's not enough time to pull this off, I haven't had enough time to plan..." Impromptu entertaining is really fun and easy, and we encourage you to toss your doubts to the side and invite someone for dinner tonight! Spur-of-the-moment entertaining is easiest when you have an arsenal of tricks to choose from. We'd like to share one of our favorite tricks for impromptu entertaining: grocery store flowers and fun vases. If you have a great vase or two in your cupboard, a bunch of grocery store flowers can be made to look like a florist helped you out. Or, in lieu of a vase, try a water pitcher or a grouping of teacups with a few flowers in them. We bought two bunches of roses at the grocery store for $20 and came up with these three arrangements. The white pitcher came from Target while the other two vases are garage sale finds. You probably have something fun in your house already that will work just as well. We didn't spend more than 10 minutes doing the arranging...as a matter of fact, it was closer to five minutes. Any one of these three arrangements would look great in the middle of your table for a little last-minute get-together!
