The modern cabbage patch kid

From Cabbage Patch Kids to the cabbage soup diet to the cabbage patch dance, cabbage has made its way around. I happen to think cabbage is very beautiful and not just yummy. When used amongst other beautiful flowers it's radiance shines and you begin to see this veggie in new light. Dont be afraid to pull some cabbage in you decor, it is a domestic beauty and very fashion forward. Its complex blossom full of color and ruffle like texture is a great addition to any project you might be throwing together. It is also very pretty to plant in you garden and there are a variety of species to choose from.

Here I added some cabbage to some beautiful blues I had going for my girlfriends baby shower.
The cabbage is always a hit and my mommy to be was very happy:)

  1. The beauty of the cabbage as decoration has certainly been ignored in the past. Though I've noticed it more and more the last couple of years. Not only is it pretty but hardy as well. Lasts a long time.

    But it's use as a center piece pales to my favorite cabbage placement which is in the middle of my fish taco. Yummy!

  2. Cabbage as decoration or in place of flowers is a great idea, there are so many colors and varieties and best of all very cost effective.

    Fair warning your house will smell like farts if you leave them out too long.
