The colors of the Hydrangeas are so beautiful this time of year. Last year, my husband cut them to the ground before I could stop him!
I picked this pretty berry lookin' thing from near the school house. I think it is a weed, but it has the most beautiful color. Last year, I used it in an arrangement once it turned a deep red.
After walking the kids to school, my youngest daughter and I went on a nature hunt to gather some treasures for different arrangements.
This flower arrangement needed a little something fun, so I added the owl. I picked up several little owls from Michael's for different fall projects.
The silver needs polishing, but I would never use it if I had to polish! I used this big white bowl (from Homegoods) because of the size, and because it is still summer.
Initally, I put the arrangement in my dining room, but moved it...
to the dresser in my foyer.
Then, I remembered that I had some muscadines and other grapes from my dad's farm, so I put those in the arrangement. The colors are great to make it feel like fall...at least inside!
This shot looks like a 'still life.' I wish I could paint!
He is still there...peaking around the side..the little hoot.
The marble top dresser in our foyer was my grandparent's.

Christie, this is such a pretty arrangement. I love those berries mixed with the hydrangeas, and what a cute little owl. Your grandparent's washstand is beautiful, and I love that chair beside the little round table. Thank you for linking this to Favorite Things Saturday. laurie

Beautiful arrangement and photos. It's been a great summer for hydrangeas. They also so wonderful since they change color, sometimes I almost forget that part, and they dry so easily. The marble top dresser is lovely, too.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful arrangement. I love that it still says summer... but hints that Autumn is right around the corner.Very artistic, you painted the picture perfectly for me.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love the way late summer changes the hydrangea colors. Your arrangement is wonderful....maybe you could teach me some tricks!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, the bowl is so pretty with your hydrangeas. The stack of items is so interesting, nice job.
ReplyDeleteOh I do think the vignette and the floral arrangement are just stunning. Thanks so much for linking to TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely! Next to blue, I love when my hydrangeas turn this color!
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous! I love the white bowl from HomeGoods, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, love the colors!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe arrangement is beautiful. I am so glad to have found your blogsite. I am battling lung cancer and raising an 18 yr. old granddaughter who just started college last week and is also my caregiver.
