First of all, don't ask, or even speculate, as to why I am reading the December issue of
Better Homes and Gardens now, in April.
The good news is that because I am so far behind in my magazine reading, you benefit with a unique and thoughtful idea for a
gift, just in time for
Mother's Day. Who wouldn't love a wooden
recipe box, blooming with
flowers, ready to fill with recipe cards when the flowers are done?
You'll need:
- a beautiful wooden recipe box
- a plastic bag to line it
- floral foam, cut to fit the liner and box
- a dozen roses, tulips or any other flowers uniform in size with sturdy stems
- ribbons or anything else you'd like to adorn the box
Assembling this recipe box blooming with flowers is easy to do. Simply line the box with the plastic bag, fill with floral foam, add some water and arrange your stems. When you give this gift, be sure to include either blank recipes cards, or better still, a stack filled with your favorite recipes.
