Home Decor, Sunny Sunflower Arrangement
Recently my husband retired and sold his dental practice and office to a really nice young dentist who continues to take care of our family
They treat me like royalty and won’t ever let me pay, so I brought them a little surprise
The staff all ooohhhed and aaahhhed and immediately ran to the Dr’s office to show him
He was thrilled and said, “I’m going to take this home to my wife tonight for brownie points”
Nothing better than getting paid in brownie points!
My grocery store, Publix, is usually full of good flowers at reasonable prices, you can’t beat 3 bunches for $12
2 bunches of sunflowers and 1 bunch of lacy greens…
Please forgive me, my garden buddies, I know there is a proper name for these, but I just call it lacy green stuff…
Rubber bands are your best friends to keep top heavy blooms from tipping over
Before the lacy greens were added it looked just like an owl! 🦉
What a hoot!
The green helps break up all the bright bright yellow
Painting sunflowers is just a matter of a few strokes
You can find an easy tutorial here

Where did the pretty vase come from?
It was a yellow pitcher I had and painted sunflowers on it.
So cheerful! I love it!
Thanks Lorraine!
Jenna, sunflowers are just happy and I know your dentist’s wife was thrilled! So many pretties in the shop and so generous of you for the relief of so many! Blessings~
thank you Pam, have a wonderful week!
What a happy gift!!
thanks Patti~
Jenna, such a lovely arrangement and container. Publix, you can’t beat three for twelve. My go to for fresh flowers in a hurry. Lucky dentist wife, I’m sure she was thrilled and a smart dentist husband too, that arrangement got him a lot of brownie points. Congratulations to your husband on his retirement.
Thank you Emily, they are always so nice, and act like my husband hung the moon!
I really have to get to your shop soon. Christmas is coming!
Nice! And yes, it did sorta look like an owl before the lacy goldenrod. Congrats to your husband on his retirement! Now, your job is to find him something to keep him busy in retirement. 😉 It’s an adjustment, for sure.
Ha, ha, I kinda like the owl too:@) Have a great Sunday Jenna!
Such a cheerful bouquet Jenna. How nice you get red carpet treatment at the dentist’s. 17 years after selling my practice, I do too and it never fails to make me feel great. Class acts these successors.

beautiful and so fresh! And also, that white pumpkin is pretty gorgeous too ☺
Congratulations on your husband’s retirement.
Lovely gift I’m sure they were thrilled to receive.
Thanks for the tip on the rubber bands! Such a pretty bouquet, Jenna! 🌻
How very sweet of you to give the dentist a painted pitcher hand painted by you, Jenna! I’m sure his wife was thrilled with your creation and filled with such a pretty sunflower arrangement. Thanks for the tip about using a rubber band on those heavy stems! Yea for your dear hubby’s retirement!!
Thank you Kitty, the whole staff is so nice and sweet, and it means so much to hear words of praise for my husband, he worked so hard for 42 years!
Such a lovely gift. Sunflower is a sign of happiness. And, a great initiative to donate all sale amount for hurricane relief.
Thank you Stephanie, and I didn’t know the sunflower was a sign of happiness, but of course they always make me smile!
I love the painted pitcher and the arrangement inside. SO PRETTY!!!! And I think you have some golden rod there….it looks like it, and at one time it was the State of Alabama’s official flower!
I think it’s so nice that your dentist is so kind, and I bet he learned lots from your husband! 😀
I love how you’re donating to hurricane relief. You are such a good soul!
Have a wonderful week!

Very pretty! I’ve always have had a special love for sunflowers. Visiting from Show and Share party.
Thanks for stopping by!
Such a cheery bouquet in your pretty painted pitcher Jenna! I know scored lots of brownie points. 🙂
Owl it is! I love it. I get the “lacy green stuff” since I don’t know the name of anything! Your name fits perfectly. How wonderful for you to contribute to the hurricane victims. You’re a gem!
It really makes me feel better that you don’t know the botanical name Kim, I figured you definitely would!
I am sure the young man got plenty of brownie points for bringing your cheerful sunflower arrangement home!! Who wouldn’t love receiving such a fun bouquet!!!
