A mug full of flowers! Who says a mug has to be just for coffee or tea? I prefer to use them as a vase for pretty flowers. Bright colored anemones, ranunculus & gerbera daisies in a swirly blue hybrid mug. Perfect for another Mugshot Monday!

With a weekend forecast of dropping temperatures, arctic winds & our first snowfall… I sadly believe that this is my final dahlia of the year! They had a good run… but Winter is coming… and starting this weekend?!!! ugh.

Some pretty red anemone flowers with seeded eucalyptus in a small textured & soda-fired square vase. Loving the scroll pattern & the crazy-cool details in the flower’s center!

I spy with my little eye… somewhere deep in the lush greenery, I see one of my wheelthrown ornaments. While most people use them for Christmas trees… looks like Cheryl enjoys hers year-round when it’s hanging on her outdoor pergola. Even more amazing when it is being engulfed by some beautiful purple hyacinth bean vines!!! Thanks for showing off your garden Cheryl.

Celebrating a little Mugshot Monday with a beautiful collection of Fall blooms… gathering before the first big frost hits us! Thanks for sharing your beautiful bouquet Kelly!

Most likely the last two dahlias in my garden. Luckily, we’ve avoided the overnight frost warnings… so “maybe” we have a little more time with a slim chance of another flower or two???

Looks like “somebody“… (me)… may have forgotten about this vase of flowers from two weeks ago!!! Totally dried… yet still beautiful in its own way!!!
