ayudame, por favor.

{that means "help me, please"}.

i just love austin. i do. recently, i've been looking for milkglass vases to put up on the shelves in our living room and i plan to put faux flowers of some sort in them, i just haven't decided what flowers, yet.

anyway, so when a patient's family brought in one of those fancy fruit edible arrangements things and the container was a cute little white planter type thing, he brought it home to me because he thought it would coordinate with my milkglass. so thoughtful, that one. :)

so the little container looks like the one here.

and it's pretty sturdy, got some cute details to it and it's definitely reusable. so i'm going to get crafty.

i'm thinking moss!

i think i want to make a moss topiary to sit on the bookshelf right inside the front door. but i need help deciding what kind of topiary to make. i've searched around a few blogs online and i see three basic kinds of moss topiary i like.

at first i thought i would just cover a styrofoam ball with moss and set it in the planter like this:

{found this one at the inspired room}

but then i thought i might like to make one up on a stick, like this:

and of course, i could get really crazy and make one with two moss covered styrofoam balls up on a stick, like this:

{found this one at it's greener over here}

and then i don't know whether to use just one type/shade of moss, or mix a few together for a multi-green look. too many options. i don't like to make decisions, i need help. anyone?

{and of course now i'm just craving some chocolate covered strawberries. i wonder if edible arrangements will overnight....}
