This is really too big to qualify as a windowsill arrangement, but it does use materials that have been on the windowsill for the past few days. They include the hunk of green hellebore flowers from yesterday, narcissus foliage from Jan. 4-6, and the big fatsia leaf from Jan. 4-6 (it's sort of rolled up in the back of the arrangement). I started with the pretty mug, a Christmas gift, then added the peach-colored lilies because they've been languishing in the utility room since Dec. 28.
The lilies, of course, are the zinger here. I have them only because, after working with friends on some big arrangements Dec. 28, I brought home a little bucket of leftovers. They were buds at the time and we almost threw them away (flowers seem unwanted and cheap when you've been in the presence of too many of them too long), but I've had this happen before: the flowers that seem like too much trouble to keep alive on Dec. 28 have begun to seem like rare treasures by January 9!
