Fall Wedding!

This one is the throwaway!

This last one is the Brides Bouquet!

I love Fall Weddings and it this was the first time I was able to do fall floral arrangements for a grandson (the other wedding was spring). Spring and summer weddings are beautiful, but the flowers for fall are spectacular. And, another blessing was the fact that hubby performed both ceremonies for the grandsons. (Grandson number 1 was in May of this year). As many of you have guessed I love floral design. I went to school many years ago in Memphis Tennessee and have been doing it ever since. Flowers (real or faux) just seem to make people smile! Now on to the particulars, there was 3 bridesmaids and of course the brides, and a throwaway bouquet. The flowers were purchased at Hobby Lobby, who can resist that store? The flowers were hand held and then just spaced properly then taped together with floral tape. I then tied ribbon around the stems and made a bow for the bottom of each. There was no one to take pictures when I was putting them together, sorry bout that. When I am finished with every design, I spray a sealer on it to protect the flowers. Then with most I use a (this one was mulberry) season appropriate scent to spray on them. I had so much fun with these, I hope you enjoy them also. Please go over to check out Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch (link follows). You will be amazed at the talent these ladies have.

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

A Garage Sale Treasure!

A lamp bought at a yard sale for $4.00 turns out to be a Frederick Cooper from Chicago, Il. After some research I find his lamps are quite expensive (couldn't find the exact one) the cheapest one was 389.00. The one that I compared it to was 519.00. Wow, I am so excited! So after the lamp, I had to change my flower arrangement. Have you ever noticed when you change one thing there is always a chain reaction? lol. The other one didn't have red in it, and of course I had to put some eggs in it to. In my shop "The Painted Fern", there are always lots of leftover flowers so it is easy to put something together.Floral design is truly something I enjoy, but decorating my home and making it comfortable for our family and friends is my passion.Also it is amazing what a person can do with left overs and things that are on their way to the trash. Thank you for visiting, I love your comments!

Floral Arrangement!

2 new floral arrangements, one for the mantel and one for the bedroom. Floral design is truly a passion of mine that I have enjoyed for many years. Home decoration is another passion that I enjoy. I believe friends and family are comfortable when they come to visit if our homes are clean and pretty!
