~~~FLOWERS for the coffee table!!!~~~

 Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you are all having a good weekend. It is hot and HUMID here in Pa. It feels HEAVY when you step outside. But, just for YOU, I went out and cut some flowers for my coffee table.
 The hydrangeas are blooming profusely and they are all in different stages and colors but I just cut some blue ones for now. I have one bush that is already green! Way too early, so I guess I will start drying some now. I never do that til August or Sept. My lillies are still looking and SMELLING good so I also snipped some Rose of Sharon blooms.

 This is my faux hydrangea arrangement that I made several years ago, in a TINY urn. It is done on a styroroam ball and the pieces of hydrangea are cut apart. I then also added some creamy berries, that were on a garland and just cut that into pieces too. It adds just the right finishing touch, don't you think?
 If I ever find another tiny urn, I will do a tutorial for you!

 See how tiny it is.
 I added a glass full of Rose of Sharon too. for the vignette.

Thanks for stopping by. I will join these parties next week:
Table Top Tuesday @ A Stroll Thur Life Wow Us Wednesdays @ Savvy Southern Style
Open House Thursday
Feathered Nest Friday
Seasonal Sundays

  6. Love the hydrangeas, mine are blooming now too and the colors are beautiful. I have never had luck drying my hydrangeas before the end of the summer, they would just wilt. Someone told me they still had to much moisture in them to dry. Let me know if it works for you now. Thanks for stopping by, Laura

  7. Hi Pinky! Oh, your flowers are so beautiful. I just love hydrangeas. I think everyone does - they're so pretty! Your tiny little urn with your fauxs is a precious as can be too. we're hot and humid too. We have had some rains the past few days and that has really steamed up the air!
    Be a sweetie,

  9. Your flowers from your yard are still so beautiful to be able to cut and bring inside. Hopefully I'll get another round of hydrangeas before the summer is over.
    Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet comments, Mary Alice

  10. Hi Pinky~ I love your hydrangea arrangement~ ours are LONG gone! Have you ever propagated new plants from cuttings? My MIL has some gorgeous varieties that I thought I might cut and try to propagate with some rooting hormone. I've heard it's a challenge to over winter them. Have a great week :)
