I recieved [these](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/db8d24d4.jpg)[cute](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/7ad484c0.jpg)[baskets](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/edbe56c4.jpg) as a gift. I’d like to put some kind of greenery or dried/silk flower arrangement in them so they don’t look quite so bare. The rest of the room is decorated in a very casual style, so I don’t want something excessively frilly or dramatic. Would just some green ivy be ok? Or something eclectic with dried pods and things? Thanks ~ ---

I think you should get silk pansies for one of them and silk tulips for the other. ---

I suppose I should just Photoshop something there to see how it looks. ---

Is that a The Joy of Sex book on the shelf? Sunflowers. ---

[QUOTE=footloose] I think you should get silk pansies for one of them and silk tulips for the other. [/QUOTE] But put the pansies in the tulip one and the tulips in the pansies one. Sit back and watch people’s mind be blown. I second the sunflower idea or else the dried earth tones kind of arrangements.
