After this morning’s trip to the GreenCity Market, Rikke came home with another beautiful “broken” dahlia bloom FREE from the flower vendor. Good thing Rikki has an ikebana flower vase at the ready to show-off her newest blossom! Giving new life to a flower-head originally headed towards the trash. Beautiful save!!!

Pretty little flowers in pretty little vases. Looks like Kristy has pulled in one last batch of her garden flowers before the predicted “freeze” this weekend. With a very chilly forecast up in Wisconsin, she doesn’t expect much to survive… so this might be her last display of homegrown flowers for the year?!

So exciting to see more of my dahlias blooming today… especially the “fuzzy” pink one as it was the first flower on that plant!!! I just hope the closed blooms have a chance to open before the temperature drops too much this weekend??? And if you scroll down to the last photo, you’ll see how large my dahlias have gotten this year!

It’s the end of summer… and it looks like Allison is enjoying the last few flowers of the season! Luckily, she has a sweet little stamped & soda-fired vase to put them in… and it looks like her cat approves too!!!

A single dahlia propped on an ikebana flower vase. A great way for Rikke to show off some stray blooms she got from the farmer’s market… gifted to her after they had broken off from the stems!

With a threat of overnight frost killing off her flowers, looks like Rosene made herself a cute little arrangement of homegrown flowers in one of my stamped & soda-fired vases! Just trying to keep her summer flowers goin’ a bit longer…

My last bouquet of flowers from the Andersonville Farmers Market for the summer. The dahlias were already gone by the time I got there… so I bought this textural mix of late summer blooms, grasses & a few stalks of small kale. Luckily, I had the perfect oval vase ready to go!!!

With the rain & cooler weather, one of my dahlia plants is going crazy!!! Suddenly tons of blooms… all different colors on the same bush! Although many of the flowers are too big for the stems to support them with the rain & wind. Just trying to enjoy them as much as I can… as we all know the cold overnight-frosts can’t be too far away!!!!

Sweet little stamped & soda-fired vase filled with some beautiful flowers.
Great colors & great textures. Thanks for sharing Tiffany!

While the waves crash around at the lakefront… and there’s also beautiful rocks & flowers right there if you happen to look around the other way!
