Texture Tuesday and Seasonal Bouquet Project

I have two places I'm linking up with today.
One is Kim over at Texture Tuesdays.  http://www.kimklassencafe.com/thecafe/texture-tuesday-wise-words-edition-a-give-away.html  Head on over and check out all the beautiful photographs.  I used Kim's Coffeeteaorme texture today and really like the painterly feel it gave to the photograph.


The other link up is with  Erin (Floret) and Jennie {Love ‘n Fresh} with their new "Seasonal Bouquet Project".  You can read all about it on their blog:  https://theseasonalbouquet.wordpress.com/.

I found this pretty cut  crystal  basket vase at an antique barn several years ago and I just love it, it's fairly large, I also picked up a real small one too.  Not much to choose from other than daffodils for blooms and a couple fillers.  Tuplis should be blooming next week, can't wait.

Here's some of the players in today's arrangement.  I planted quite a few different varieties last fall and am enjoyng seeing each of them come into bloom.  So here's a few close-up portraits of each.



Have a fantastic day.  Blessings, Michelle

Seasonal Bouquet Project

Of course Erin and Jeannie's flower arranging are magnificent...something I hope to get much better at.  But, all flowers are beautiful and I get enormous joy in bringing them inside to admire.

I moved 29th October and when I did I dug up all my flowers and brought them to the new house and have mixed them in with what was here which was pretty nice.  So it will be a surprise how everything looks together this season, I've also ordered quite a few new items to plant (dahlias, David Austin Roses, and tons of direct seeds to sow).  So, I hope to share lots of garden photos on the blog in the next 7 months.

For now the only thing in bloom are Daffodils, tuplips are in bud.  Not sure if they will make it the same time for more variety in an arrangement.  I'm hoping not to have to go buy anything and use just what I can from my small yard with lots of floral beds and more to be created.

The daffodils are so bright and beautiful, love bulbs that come back every year.  Especially these, low maintenance ones.  I can't wait to see some of the newer ones I planted bloom, hopefully getting some very diffierent varieities of color and design to show you next time.

Here's a few more photo's, some in the garden and a few more inside.




No altering in photoshop, just straight shots today.  Have a wonderful day.
Blessings, Michelle
