At Saturday's Farmers Market, I spent $5 and bought some dahlias.
I brought them home and added sedum that I picked from my own garden. (I have found that not only does sedum serve as a good filler to round out a bouquet, it last fairly well as a cut flower.)
I put them in a vase that I inherited from my grandmother. (Actually it is an old cookie jar whose lid got lost or broken years ago. So now, I consider it a "vase".)
I put the flowers in the front hall and every time I pass them I marvel at just how beautiful they are.
Jennifer - your pictures are ALWAYS so gorgeous! Seriously - I never tire looking at all the beautiful photos you take. The colours in this post are truly amazing. Do you do photography professionally?

Thanks for your compliment. No, I am just an amateur, who dreams about being a professional. I'd like to try my hand at food styling/food photos next. Home decor is also a big passion of mine. (My work background is in graphic design and the home decor industry.)
ReplyDeleteNot only are the flowers lovely, but the memory of your grandmother must also live in that vase. Photos are so vivid - I can almost smell the blooms.
ReplyDeleteI'm always appreciative of the little things in autumn. It's about all I have left. We had our first snow a few days ago. Glad I brought in a little bouquet before the freeze got everything.
