Y had been collecting items for a few weeks now. She was excited when I presented her the arrangement tray. She has done this kind of arrangement project many times now so I let her arrange freely.

Pouring the water still was a part of the highlight. She stuck the branches first, to be followed by leaves and flowers. I think if she could she would squeeze all of them under the water. It was rather full, so some of the frangipani flower were left on the mouth of the glass jar.

I find it lovely (okay, I’m biased) even though some of the flower has started to get brown. Too bad Instagram can’t share things other than audio visual. It smells really nice, thanks to the frangipani flowers!
