There were just a couple “survivors” still hanging in there…
now in their own tiny little vase!

Okay… I think they’re dead?! HA!!!

A new surprise blooming in the shade on my front porch!
And the beautiful weather continues here in Chicago!!!

After the weekend’s art fair… and my booth flowers are still looking pretty good!
A little flash of Fall floral in a stamped & soda-fired oval vase!

On a beautifully sunny day, it’s nice to see a little visitor in the garden. I haven’t seen a lot of monarchs this summer… but I’m guessing their migration must be soon?! One quick snack before the arduous journey heading south?! Take your time… and bring your friends.

Pretty orange roses in a pretty orange vase!
Stamped & soda-fired little mini vase with some little spray roses…
always fun in my favorite color!!!

A simple orange wildflower to make you smile on this beautiful Monday in Chicago!

So you know I love a good “roadkill”… but I’ve never seen one like this?!

A big chunk of monstera just randomly sitting on the lakefront just south of Hollywood Beach. I’m sure I was quite a sight to see pedaling home with this huge plant wedged into my aero-bars!!! Ha!!! So now I just need to figure out the best way to propagate a monstera to get it growing again. Any suggestions???

My second dahlia of the summer! I’ve been nursing it along through this long stretch of dry days! Watering whenever I can. They’re predicting rain for tomorrow… and my garden will be very happy if they’re right!!! More rain… more dahlias???

Like a kiss from a rose… in a stamped & soda-fired vase! Pretty little orange garden roses in an oval vase… with a strappy little handle that helps keep the flowers where you want them! I’ll be bringing a few of these oval vases to ART IN THE BARN next weekend.
