I purchased this wooden egg crate from my sweet friend Julie's booth at Monticello's a couple weeks ago and added the "eggs" stencil. This will end up above my kitchen cabinets with all my other wood crates, wicker baskets and jugs. It's hard to get photos up there, so I placed it by my sunflowers in my laundry room to take these pictures.
I put this lovely shade of yellow smaller sunflowers in a glass jar that is covered with craft paper and some burlap numbers tied on by some jute.....easy, peasy. Enjoy! xoxo K.
I'd also like to mention that Julie's family is going through a tough time right now since her 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer recently. Please say a few prayers for them....Thank you:-)

ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteYour bright sunflowers caught my eye and I just had to come over and see them.
Fall is my favorite time of year and these sunflowers are a perfect reminder of how much I miss fall colors here.
Thanks for sharing and my heart goes out to your friends daughter.
Take care
Amy

I learned to dry flowers from a friend back in Illinois and she told me to take the Flower when it was still together, lay it in a shoe box of Corn Meal. Put about a 1/4 inch in the box then lay the flower, stem off, then gently (spoon) cover the flower (in the position you want it to be dried) totally cover the flower. Let it sit for about two/three weeks. The moisture will be sucked out and the flower will hold it's color....when finished make a wire stem. works like a charm!
ReplyDeleteGood luck

I love your sunflowers! I have the smaller ones growing all over my yard. I need to cut them and bring them inside. In the past, I've been able to dry a few of the big ones. Did you try hanging them upside down to dry? Have a great day!

Yes Sunflowers make me Smile too and they're such a hardy, versatile plant... they even grow well {and wild} here in the harsh Desert climate... often you'll see miles of them alongside the roadways lifting their lovely faces to the Hot Sun, thriving in spite of drought and nobody caring for them, which is pretty amazing!

I am so crazy for that egg box; have never seen one like it. I collect egg stuff- drueling...
