And now a few After shots to go along with my Grocery Store Flowers post for Apartment Therapy- yellow mums, lilies, alstro, and carnations in a teapot...
Now joined by burgundy mums, alstro, & carnations in a spray-painted gold jar...
And ooooh, in a rare spot of sun!
A few befores&afters to go along with my recent Flower Processing post for Apartment Therapy: spider Mums before & after...
Echinacea, little bluestem, blue indigo, spirea, & serviceberry, in a pit-fired vase by Nedda Atassi from Gravel & Gold
For Christmas I gave a vase, along with a promise to keep it filled with pretty things. Stay tuned...
Hydrangea, buddleia, blue eryngium, eucalyptus
Hyacinth, sweet peas, and lots of 'em
Hyacinth, eryngium, and thanks if you can help me figure out what type of gentiana that is
Peonies, sweet peas, dahlias
Anemones, allium, blackberries, dusty miller
I must admit: this one might be my favorite since it's as much cream & grey & green as it is pink & purple...
