0:00
- Spring has sprung, y'all,
0:05
so many beautiful flowers that are available.
0:09
And Eddie and I are on the same wavelength.
0:12
We like using real vegetables, real fruit,
0:18
So he is getting ready to share with y'all
0:23
a spring arrangement.
0:26
And I love it when he gets
0:28
to putting things together.
0:32
- Well, if you're having a little dinner party
0:37
in the spring, which a lot of people,
0:38
they start getting their vegetables in and everything.
0:41
They wanna show it off.
0:47
And then the Napa cabbage.
0:51
- [Paula] That's Orion cabbage?
0:59
You can go on and fill your vase around,
1:05
- [Paula] Yes, just beautiful.
1:08
I'm gonna put a piece of cabbage in there
1:09
and turn it the other way.
1:14
- [Eddie] I wasn't sure which was gonna be the prettiest.
1:17
- [Paula] Not that, you wanna have the other side to-
1:20
- The other way? - Come out.
1:20
- [Eddie] Yeah, I just didn't think that side was so pretty.
1:23
- Oh, I think it's pretty.
1:25
And you know, that's one of my favorite parts of the cabbage
1:37
See how pretty that is?
1:38
It's coming towards us.
1:48
love, love, love just an arrangement of different greens.
2:01
But the rest is beautiful.
2:04
Well, except for one or two pieces.
2:07
- [Furn] I see a fish in your future.
2:12
- A dish? (Eddie laughs)
2:19
some purple cabbages. - Purple cabbage.
2:23
I mean, really once they start getting warm,
2:25
they kind of open up all on their own a little bit.
2:29
- [Paula] I used to do those all the time, Eddie,
2:32
- [Eddie] And would you use-
2:37
- I would- - Put mayonnaise
2:39
and stuff in it or flowers?
2:42
I mainly used it for the dip for fresh vegetables,
2:46
'cause I'd make a beautiful fresh vegetable platter
2:51
And these make great containers for your dips.
3:01
- Cookie cutter. - A diskette cutter,
3:02
you can kind of hollow out the center and you kind
3:06
of gotta dig it out a little bit.
3:08
Just be careful. - Has that one got a-
3:09
- [Furn] This is the remnants of-
3:10
- [Paula] Has that one got a whompy bottom?
3:14
That one right there.
3:15
- [Eddie] That one's good.
3:19
Because if you got a cabbage
3:20
that doesn't wanna stand up good,
3:22
then you'll have to trim the base of it.
3:25
- [Eddie] Yeah, I did a little bit.
3:29
- Still kind of wobbling.
3:30
- [Eddie] Still wants to move a little bit.
3:32
- [Furn] Making it a little different.
3:34
- [Eddie] Use a little.
3:35
- [Paula] Yeah, prop it up.
3:38
- [Eddie] Especially once you get flowers in there,
3:49
This is such a great idea.
3:51
- [Eddie] All right, you wanna-
3:52
- Do you need a smaller cup?
3:54
- No, I want it so that it kind of overflows a little bit.
4:00
Do you want it to- - Is that water in there, hun?
4:02
- This is enough water for that, yeah.
4:04
- If you want to start filling that.
4:06
- Okay, I will do it.
4:08
And you, my feelings won't be hurt if you come behind me
4:12
and (laughs) touch me.
4:18
I'm pull these leaves off,
4:24
it's a small, smaller container
4:28
and I think I love the green, Eddie,
4:36
see that coming into the greenery.
4:44
Lemme see where can I do another.
4:46
- I think this is the end of daffodils for the season.
5:05
They had so many pretty daffodils.
5:18
These stems are almost not long enough.
5:30
I'm gonna have to take that one out
5:32
and let him sit on top of something else.
5:35
- So we need to have a dinner party.
5:39
Uh-oh, that's too long.
5:40
- [Eddie] Go to all this work and not use it up.
5:44
- Oh, but my eyes will use it up, Eddie.
5:48
You know what I mean, Furn?
5:52
My eyes will eat it up.
5:58
- I will be bringing some of these over to Aunt Peggy.
6:01
I know she wants some flowers for her table.
6:07
- She, her vase is empty.
6:08
She used the flowers as long as she could
6:11
on the last arrangement.
6:14
- I had to finally throw it away the other night.
6:16
I couldn't look at it another second.
6:19
Those rotten flowers.
6:21
But you know, that house plant that I bought her,
6:27
It's doing real good in the house.
6:29
- [Eddie] Yeah, I noticed she keeps moving it,
6:31
moving it around to different places.
6:42
I hope I hit the glass on that one.
6:50
- So this, we actually did get to use some
6:52
of the daffodils out of the yard
6:54
and then I did have to get some more,
6:58
that's the end of it.
7:08
just a simple arrangement you could use, centerpiece.
7:13
- Oh those are so pretty. - Two pieces,
7:15
here, you know, it would be nice
7:16
to put candles in this as well.
7:18
- Oh yeah. - It'd be nice.
7:19
- Candles would be beautiful in there.
7:21
- But I know a lot of dinner guests,
7:23
they like low arrangements,
7:25
- Low arrangements- - On the dining tables-
7:27
- So we can see each other.
7:28
- I kind of like doing the big arrangements-
7:32
But people wanna be able to see, see who they're talking to.
7:40
- [Eddie] You talk to the person you're seated next to you.
7:42
- Oh is that the way that works?
7:46
I never thought about that.
7:49
- Sometimes dinner parties are strategic.
7:55
Yes, and a lot of people will give a lot of thought
8:02
in order for it to be a successful party.
8:08
They give it a lot of thought.
8:10
Think we need another little piece of yellow right here.
8:16
I think my vase is full. (laughs)
8:25
- Anyways, these type of arrangements are great
8:30
if you've got cut flowers in your garden,
8:35
And it looks like you've done a lot of work
8:39
cutting out the vegetables and everything
8:45
and it makes a big statement.
8:48
I tell you who taught me how to make arrangements
8:52
years ago and that was Aunt Peggy,
8:55
'cause I would go to her house
8:58
and she would have huge arrangements like that size.
9:02
- Yeah, natural look. - Every bit
9:04
of it was greenery out of her yard.
9:07
And they were stunning.
9:09
All right, Eddie, can this be improved upon?
9:14
- I think it's adorable
9:17
and it's so easy and it's fun.
9:21
It's fun, I love creating.
9:25
I noticed that Eddie hung my fish that I painted
9:34
I look at that fish and I said,
9:35
"I can't believe I actually painted that,
9:38
that I could sit still long enough to do that."
9:45
and especially when you're doing it with somebody that loves
9:48
to create along with ya.
9:50
Thank you, Eddie, you are smart.
9:52
You is kind and you is puddy. (laughs)
