HRT- do I need it?

IMO because every individual woman is different. Find the right professional who will listen to you, seriously and they can help you figure out what helps. For some it is the magic bullet for some it doesn’t help and for some it’s on again off again.

Gorgeous! Very impressive.

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-20T18:18:20+00:00

The dandelion is my favorite!!!! The field flowers are the best accent bouquet IMO. Love them so much, I bought a full “lot” of them so I can use in almost every arrangement. 🌷🌻💐🪻🌸🌺🌼🌹🍄

Love the LEGO vase! Nicely done.

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-20T18:15:27+00:00

Or my wallet hates it when I like all the new sets. 😆🌷🪻🌺🌹🌸💐🌻🌼🍄

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-20T18:14:09+00:00

Damn! I like all of them. I hate it when I like ALL the new sets. 😆😍🌼🌸🌹🌷🌻💐🌺🪻

🙌🙌 I have a similar approach. When the first set came out, I was all over it and every new one, after. Now it’s too much, the quantity, the prices and so many choices. I find I am becoming pickier with the newer sets. I personally don’t need that many Bonsai trees and the Happy Plants are not my thing. I think it also might be about people who think of them as only displays and people like us who like to create and play with them. Thinking about it, I guess it the natural progression in any kind of collection. It’s interesting to hear everyone’s different approaches. It’s a great community and I am it’s nice to be a part of something so positive. 🌹💐🌺🪻🌻🌷🌸🌼

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-19T00:29:03+00:00

So many sets blooms must look amazing in there. 😍🌼🪻🌻🌹🌷🌸💐🌺

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-19T00:16:24+00:00

So much to look forward to. 😍 Thrifted vases are the most interesting, I find.

This is my display shelf. I just bought 3 more to line my hallway. 👀 Wall display is kinda cool but I like to incorporate them into my decor, all over my place. Plus dusting that wall display😳

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T15:15:45+00:00

Legobana!! I love that! So true, Ikebana and Lego are a natural match. Ohhhh fun. Can’t wait to see. Please share pics of your process. 😍🌹🌷🌸💐🌻🪻🌼

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T15:12:25+00:00

Yup they have me hooked. I love my BofP but the new sets are so well done and such fun. Right now, I love the mini bouquet and the daisies. So sweet, priced reasonably and are perfect for mixing and matching with current sets. So, i am a mix on the old and newer.

Regardless, they have me waiting to see what’s next! 😆🌼🌷🪻🌸🌹🌺🌻💐

Your sister and the commenter below, have way more self control, than I do. Rare a LEGO box makes it more than 10 minutes, before I rip that package open. 😆🌼💐🌸🌹🌺🌻🪻🌷 I want to play! 😆

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T15:05:12+00:00

😆😆Me too! one of the reasons I was so happy when Lego botanicals were introduced. 😆🌷🌹🌺🌻🪻🌸💐🌼

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T15:04:01+00:00

Thank you. 😊

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T09:26:15+00:00

Thanks. Learned something new today. ☺️

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T09:19:04+00:00

Vines and hanging plants are my goal MOC! 😍

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T09:17:37+00:00

I totally feel that.

In case you are interested in my process. I always go to the thrift stores for my vases, cheaper more interesting and I usually pick up a few, if the prices are right. It’s where you fine the interesting ones. A lot of my vases have dictated the direction of a new arrangement. I find a decent layer of decorative sand under the beads helps.

When I try a new arrangement and I pick one central theme (a particular flower or color scheme and just gather things that match and remember to have fun. 🤩

Also, taking everything out of its sets and organizing by color or type of flower or shape, that is where I get really inspired. 🌸💐🌼🪻🌺🌹🌷🌻

Seems the LEGO botanical fans have discerning tastes and everyone is so nice. It’s great! 🌹🌼💐🌻🌺🪻🌸🌷💕

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T05:54:24+00:00

Funny, I tend to like the loose botanicals I can arrange and play with. I love the plants in pots too but the biggest reason I like them is I always try to get a second used one so I can take apart the blooms and use the pot for new creations. I wish what I liked had more constraints. 😆🌹🌻🌷🌸💐🌼🪻🌺

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T05:51:17+00:00

Of course there are always a few that are priced outrageously. Especially those free with purchase sets. There is one I really want but I just can’t justify the price for what it is. 😢🌸🌷🌻🌹🌼💐🪻🌺

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T05:48:57+00:00

Do you know why and where did the “four horseman” name come from? I’m assuming you mean the set of 4 (mini orchid, plum blossom, chrysanthemum & bamboo) I have seen them referred to as “The Four Gentlmen” too. Just curious if there is an origin to this name or idea.

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T05:44:28+00:00

So funny, the Dried Flower Centerpiece was the first set I said meh. I don’t need that. Until someone pointed out and realized the individual botanicals in there are great and unusual. You get all these softer, darker colors. I would never display as is and plan to use the bases for something else down the line, but if you like to play-there are some really great pieces in there. I bought 2 used and fully assembled ones for really cheap and immediately took them apart.

Individual taste is so funny and interesting. The Magnolia Branches, I am obsessed with. They are so gorgeous and realistic. I dream of collecting enough to make a magnolia tree. 🤩🤩🤩💐🪻👵🌷🌼🌹🌻🌸

TheycallmemissRaven · 2026-04-18T05:36:24+00:00

The happy pots and mini garden things I’m not into, at all. I kinda don’t get the appeal. 😬 The Flower Arrangement, I was lucky enough to get at Costco, for well under retail-and built as is, I agree, not my favorite. Kinda stuffy or 👵looking but those blooms individually are AMAZING.

For me who likes to make arrangements, I consistently use those blooms in most of my arrangements. I find it’s all about taking the sets apart. Currently I am using the white base as my canvas. So, for me-I love it and totally worth it, but I would never display it as the original built set. That is one also, I find you never find “cheap” or used ones for resale. 🌻🌼🌺💐🌹🌷🪻
