A friend of mine brought me a huge bouquet of hydrangeas this weekend. She was cutting back her bush and had so many blooms. I love hydrangeas and really appreciate her thoughtfulness. I am going to dry them and use them in my display for the Christmas show. Since it's Silver Sunday hosted by Beth over at Gypsy Fish I thought I'd put some in one of my favorite silver pitchers and play along. I think they compliment each other nicely, don't you?. Enjoy! xoxo K.
Hydrangeas are my favourite and yours look so pretty. That is a really pretty little footed pitcher.
ReplyDeleteI Love this picture.....I am a fan of old and tarnished silver pieces, and often use them to display flowers, feathers or anything else I can squeeze and place into!! Beautiful vignette!

The hydrangeas look great, mine are gone now. And believe me I used them all up, until I had not one petal left! I love the contrast of the silver and the softness of the petals. Well done, tami

Looking, learning and YEARNING! I shall have to go in search of some hydrangeas. (Last year we stumbled on some being discarded curbside! I didn't spray them with any kind of "fixant" and they eventually crumbled....Have you any hints in THIS department???)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Kathleen! I love hydrangeas!
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas go with everything! What a wonderful friend to share.

Sooooo pretty! I love them so! Word of advice to your friend regarding pruning....always cut back mid-summer, because late-summer to fall they grow their buds for the following years blooms and new growth. If you prune too late, you may have less blooms the following year...On a happy note, I planted 6 hydrangea bushes this year! I can't wait for all the blooms!
ReplyDeleteoh these are gorgeous! I alway love the way ANY flower color looks in a silver teapot. lovely!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you found the perfect container for those hydrangeas! Hope you have a good week and your son is doing better and better each day!!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Sue
Gorgeous, hydrangeas and silver just seem to go together so well.
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful Kathleen! Thanks for sharing! What a great friend! Have a beautiful week...xokathee
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet friend you have Kathleen! I love hydrangeas, and I love it more when they turn this color. BTW, I'm having a gift raffle, hope you can join.
