I'm sure many of us remember that little saying, "Wattle, wattle.. stick it in a bottle......" it's not all that silly. I just adore fresh flowers in my home - they make me feel spoilt, special and indulgent; but sometimes for us busy bees, it's difficult to buy fresh every week....... just walking along the lake near my home (50 metres) are the most beautiful assortment of vase/jar, or indeed bottle appropriate specimens to perk up any home; or any one...
A branch with lichen was my found treat... perfectly formed, weathered, with the fungus lichen growing on it in a soft olive green - and in a vase or bottle in the middle of the diningroom table; lamp table; or entrance hall - it adds height, an organic elegance; and I don't have to stress about changing old water or dead petals..... long live lichen.

Re: The beauty of lichen.....
What a wonderful idea. You've now inspired me to see what I can pick up on my walk this weekend, bring it home like a treasure and put it in a pretty bottle. Thanks!
