There are no actual flowers in today's post. Instead, I used these amazing persimmon fruits - on stems - from Sia. They are everlasting, not real, even though they look and feel like ripe fruits to touch.
I bought every single one the lady could find around the store!

To recreate this display, you will need:
15 everlasting persimmon fruits on stems
Enamel jug
Marbles or glass nuggets

Each stem has two fruits and the attention to detail is fabulous.
It might seem a large initial outlay for one display but, over time, it is pennies per week. These persimmons were £5.50 a stem and on that same day, a bunch of 6 Madonna lilies was £40: I opted for the fruity stems and, 7 years later they are still here.

I used 15 stems in this display and to start, I filled the old enamel jug with glass nuggets.

Taking one stem at a time, arrange in the spout first, then work your way around the jug.

You should aim for that, 'Just picked' look to your display.

This is the end result and I love it. It appears to be top-heavy but it's not.
Do leave me a comment if you too enjoy arranging everlasting fruits and twigs as well as silk flowers.
Have a great day.

So clever and the colors are beautiful!
