Cutting Flowers & Creating Vignettes

The other day someone asked me what I do all day and I said, "I cut flowers and create vignettes".

 I created a sweet vignette on a patio table using a new (old) window and a sign I found hidden in the garden beneath a bunch of greenery.

But, it didn't last long

 because I decided to use the soup tureen for a bouquet of flowers from the garden.

A basket of flowers is actually a more practical display in the garden.

Every time I plant a hydrangea in the garden, it dies, so I have been keeping them in buckets and they seem to be doing okay.

The lavender is growing like crazy and spreading across the sidewalk

so I cut a large bunch and I simply placed them in a favorite enamel bowl.

My MacKenzie- Childs tea kettle got a fresh bouquet of flowers too.

I love the colors of the stool and bowl full of lavender so the entry way cart got an update.

Lovely linens and favorite flatware create a colorful vignette finished off with more flowers gathered from the garden.

I just found out that we have company coming today so it's a good thing I set out fresh flowers yesterday.

Now I just need to spiff up the garden before our company arrives.
