Silk Flowers

Hi Girls (and chaps)
I haven't long come back from Webbs Garden Centre over at Wychbold (nr Droitwich, Worcs), I happened to visit their silk flower section and noticed that they had those lovely vases with silk flowers and solid water in them - yes, they had the expensive ones but I noticed that they had a shelf with discounted ones. They had tons of pale pink/cream ranunculus flowers in their vases with this solid water stuff reduced from £7.99 to £1.99 - the vases just needed a little wipe with a damp cloth because they had been picked up with sticky fingers. They were single flowers and I thought that they may be of use to someone.
I happened to pick up a small silk arrangement (3 flowers as opposed to a single one) with this magic water stuff for £1.99 as one of the silk leaves was hanging off - I tried to repair it when I got home but ended up cutting it off so now I have a cheapo arrangement that looks good for my wedding stand and far cheaper than the bunch of flowers the local florist wanted to sell me:rolleyes:
