In A Vase On Monday
A busy week and weekend found me rushing around late Sunday afternoon to find something to quickly throw into a container. Fuchsias are still blooming their heads off in my garden so a few got trimmed away from a path and quickly tossed into a crystalline glazed vase. There aren't a lot of vase-worthy late summer blooms in my garden at the moment but I couldn't bring myself to do an evergreen foliage arrangement quite yet.

Nothing like a tall vase with flowers that droop. Gorgeous. And yes, too early to do all-green arrangements.
ReplyDeletePerfect, with an asian flare.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mr. Outlaw! Hope there are more flowers in your day, although these are really lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms Danger!
DeleteBirthday...? Hope it's a happy one, Peter :) These fuchsias look great - and yet I never think to put them in my vases
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm finally 30!
DeleteFor something quick, that turned out very pretty. And, like Loree said, Happy Birthday, Friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you pal!
DeleteBeautiful! I love fuchsias but the evil fuchsia mite keeps ruining my plants.
ReplyDeleteSorry that the evil fuchsia mite keeps ruining your plants!
DeleteI have never had much luck with Fuchsias... love your vase! Gorgeous.

DeleteThat vase is gorgeous and the fuchsias are drool-worthy, Peter. And, as I gather today's a special day, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris!
DeleteIt's your birthday? Happy Day to you!
ReplyDeleteI love the way fuchsias hang like little lanterns and the glaze on your vase is beautiful...I like the oak dresser, too. ;)
Thanks Eliza! It's a cool piece of furniture that I've been storing for a friend for about 10 years now.
DeleteSometimes the quickies turn out better than the vases we sweat over. Hope everything comes easy for you on this, your Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks, ricki!
