Last week I spent $16 on flowers from the Fresh Market, and they were dead in 3 days. Meanwhile, my camellia just keeps on blooming- for free. I'll be scouting the neighborhood for a forsythia bush tonight. Your vignette looks really cute!
Last week I did the same thing....from out front of my apartment, but hanging over my fence from the neighbor's yard. ;) Hope that's not too horrible of me!
Oh, so pretty! And think of it this way, by posting the forsythia, you have brought joy to ALL of us here in the blogosphere (and hey, we probably appreciate it more than normal passers-by, right?)
Haha! definitely not stealing... they're provided for people like yourself who appreciate their beauty... or at least that's what I'd tell myself. I will have to do a Supper Club Style 2 in my style series so that I can share the table and other chairs... just for you my darling! xo
They look beautiful! And to make yourself feel even better...when you cut and trim shrubs it makes them even grow harder and stronger...so more of the flowers and branches will be happening...because of YOU! Yay!!!
They are beautiful in fact they look so good I hope they stay fresh for a long time. They make your already beautiful space look even that much prettier.
haha, I always pick flowers/flowering branches around our apartment! The last time I did, though, there were a bunch of little spiders in the flowers that I didn't discover until AFTER I brought them inside ~ ick! I guess that was my punishment from stealing :p
Wanna know what I feel guilty about? Last week I took my dog for a walk in the neighborhood and I snagged a bunch of various succulents that I found on the way (they weren't on anyone's exact property per se, also some were falling off, so it wasn't stealing exactly...right?) Anyway, I then planted them in my front yard :)
hopefully no one in my neighborhood reads your blog... or mine for that matter:) www.mydesigndreams.com
What a very pretty vignette; that springy punch of yellow is lovely and so tempting that it can hardly be thought of as stealing... especially if you live there!

Love forsythia. I need to bring some in out of my yard. I keep putting it off and it is going to be gone before I do it!
I also love forsythia. And yes, I think cutting some from your building is fine. But what do I know? I got a B in Ethics.
NO guilt!
I love forsythia! I have a huge bouquet of branches in my living room... Did a whole post on them a while ago too! coulda included yours!
BTW, they dried beautifully! You cant even tell they are dead. Just dont touch them cause they make a huge mess!
Oh, good reminder to snip some from my yard today, too. I only have a small plant but it will look really pretty inside!

So pretty! all that's in front of my building is cigarette butts from the bar downstairs :( Lucky girl!
Love your space.. and don't feel bad, they are too pretty to bring guilt! xoxo
they bring you more joy than they could have outside. so its all good. ps- love that brass(?) tray behind the flowers!
Just think that you are helping to keep it groomed. Love forsythia and am tempted to get one- if only to have a plant to cut from periodically!
absolutely not! it's gorgeous!
I had forsythia in my living room! Only much longer branches... it's totally cool to cut and run (with flowers, that is. and bad boyfriends.)

So pretty! My mom has forsythia bushes in my parents' front yard. They're a welcome sign of spring!
love them... yellow always brightens up your space... love where you put them too!
definitely not :) love it!

what a pretty vignette. Ours isn't blooming yet...I hope a late trimming at the end of last season didn't ruin them for this one!
Shari- you are so right! I know that you all certainty enjoy it more then my boyfriend- he doesn't notice these kinds of things.

Beautiful flowers, you're paying for them so you should enjoy them ^_^
Love forsythia! So pretty in your entryway!
Beautiful! My mom's house has a large forsythia bush...I look forward to it blooming every year!
Totally legit...and I loooooove that milk glass vase!
They look beautiful! And to make yourself feel even better...when you cut and trim shrubs it makes them even grow harder and stronger...so more of the flowers and branches will be happening...because of YOU! Yay!!!
yes so go put them back!!

I hope not because I am about to cut some from a neighbors yard:)
Your vase and your books are so pretty right there!

Very pretty and don't feel guilty! I really like seeing a peek at your lovely home. Great design books!
lovely tablescape.
i have forsythia 'scapin in my house too.
i'm coming over to steal some from your front yard...it looks gorgeous there. and the entire table set up, love love love
What a pretty spot. You can come and steal my blooms any time. I have holly right outside....
pve
Ha-ha I did the same thing...I cut some flowering cherry branches from a park near by. Then ran home as fast as possible. :)
Definitely not stealing. :) And they look beautiful!
Stealing? Hardly. It's called pruning, my darling. And you were simply recycling the cuttings.
Clever girl!
Looks beautiful! (And, yes, I think you're entitled to it.)

Oh, it's not stealing, it's borrowing because I'm sure you're going to put it back when you through with it !
Beautiful, and definitely not stealing:) Love you table vignette, the branches are the perfect finishing touch!
definitely not :) love it!
