decorating with fruit

have you ever noticed that on all the design make-over shows they always use fruit in some bowl or vase for a punch of color!? well let’s take a cue from those shows and add some colorful, functional and edible decor to our rooms!

just buy a bag of lemons, green apples, oranges (or whatever fruit that fits your color palette) from your local store or farmer’s market and stack them all in a clear vase or pile them in a bowl (clear vases are easy to find at garage sales, etc.)…. voila! cheap and pretty! and when you’re hungry… well, just make sure you choose one from the top!

    Ah see the problem is that I never really NEED 30 lemons in a jar… So I tried this, and some of them spoiled and I felt a little guilty.
