I had bought the target aqua vases and picture frame for a quick mantle update…..did you see the aqua vase on the Oprah / Lance Armstrong interview? It was on the table between them!!

Hi Dawn, thanks! Lavender can be grown in certain climates here in the US and it’s grown in Europe too – I’d first find out from a regional nursery if it’s feasible to grow it, and if so, choose the French versions (Provence or Grosso) to give you the same look. It’s a perennial and it blooms in May and Junes. Lavender is dried upside down in bundles so once you harvest it, you hang it out to dry for a few weeks then you can use it decoratively as displayed in that image.

Hi Danielle, if the images have a white background, I make a collage with Picasa, but if I have to cut it out to isolate the object I use Photoshop but this tutorial on Pixlr describes the same method!
