I just dropped $40 this weekend at Michael's (a local craft store chain) on silk lilacs and dried flowers. After spending some time in there I found the forms to do the rose bud topiaries and a few other things I want to add to my home. There are some great ideas and how-to's at this site that will really help me when I go back to spend some more.
