Last week I got very inspired by my talented Floral Friday friends, Pam, Mary, Shirley & Lidy
They post fabulous floral arrangements on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month. Click on their names above to visit their posts
They inspired me to go get some fall flowers and have some fall fun!
Come on in, I want to show you my arrangement
I headed to Trader Joe’s and chose a mixed bouquet of sunflowers, mums and gerber daisies, and added pumpkin stems, wheat, and golden alstromeria
There is a container of water tucked down inside the olive bucket to keep everything happy
It is so sunny and bright!
I don’t know what the botanical name for these mini pumpkins on stems, but I get them every autumn
Pretend you don’t see that smushed sunflower near the bottom…
Oh how I hope it gets a little cooler so I can make a batch of
Slow Cooker Vegetable Beer Cheese Chowder
As I write this post, the “real feel” temperature outside is 93 degrees, so it’s going to be awhile for the soup!
Faux sunflowers, pumpkins and gourds surround the base of the olive bucket
Across the room is a side chair with a Thankful Wreath pillow
And a butler offering up some pumpkin decor
Out on the patio we’re enjoying 2 large pumpkins until the time for carving arrives near Halloween
A planter full of pumpkins and mums in the driveway greets visitors when they arrive
Thanks for visiting today!
