Red and Gold Silk Rose Arrangement

Red and Gold Silk Rose Arrangement by Floral Home Decor

Maintaining a proper color scheme from room to room may be easier said than done. In fact, often times it is very difficult to tie the colors from multiple rooms together, without spending an extravagant amount of money. A great (and relatively inexpensive) way to enhance the look and feel of certain color combinations, is with this Red and Gold Silk Rose Bouquet. By using these highly natural looking silk orchids, berry branches, and roses, the rich colors of red, gold, and green will help enrich both wall and furniture colors. To hold this wonderful arrangement a beautiful “footed” antique gold style vase is incorporated, which truly adds to the overall look of this color combination.

Golden Monkey Tea Bags

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Tea is one of those delicious beverages that can be enjoyed at anytime of the day, even if you are feeling under the weather. By sipping down some Golden Monkey Tea, you will begin to taste the rich flavor of a “black tea”, which encompasses a very full bodied aroma. Coming from Fujian providence in China, this tea literally takes the shape of a monkey’s paw, and has a deep golden hue to each leaf. Easy to steep because of individually wrapped tea bags, this is an excellent tea for people who appreciate the intense flavor of a dark tea.
