Sunny Flowers

September 20, 2011 1 min read 14 Comments

Sunflowers! These large glorious flowers don't really need to be arranged. Simply cut at an angle with a sharp knife. Remove some of the lower leaves if needed, and arrange in a vase, or an antique watering can. Beautiful inside. Beautiful outside. Right now I have some arranged in an antique watering can, they are outside on the garden table, where I can see their happy faces from the kitchen windows.

There is lots to do this week, especially in the garden as the seasons change. Holiday photo shoots for the website. Baking some Pumpkin and / or apple treats for the weekend. I love these early weeks of Autumn!

Don’t be jealous, Julie, I bought them. The garden is sort of at the end of its glory right now!

Your sunflowers are absolutely beautiful. Are they from your garden?
I am jealous, in a good way : )

You are both so right, Denise & Sherry! Hints of France….maybe that’s why I love them. But then they are also so happy. ps. The larger ones in the photo are called Teddybear Sunflowers, Ginger.

Sounds so beautiful, Becky. I love using all those old antique pieces to decorate for fall, too. They look so great with the flowers and pumpkins of autumn, don’t they?

They are so cheerful, aren’t they? Perfect for right now, when some mornings are a little gloomy.

Gorgeous! I love to use vintage things to decorate for fall. Crates, old
pottery, canning jars – the more, the better! Love your blog…so inspiring!

Have fun!
