January 3, 2013 -- roses with leaves

It felt like cheating to use roses in a January arrangement again (I'd rather be modeling how to use seasonal stuff), but with leftover roses still sitting in that bucket on the back porch, I couldn't resist. Still, this arrangement seemed sort of boring to me (yellow roses with a couple of sprigs of periwinkle and money plant leaves) until I added the upside-down mahonia leaf in the second photo.

This is remarkably similar to my Dec. 29 post -- with roses now where the dandelions were!
