Also from yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… some more beautiful dahlias looking for a nice handmade vase to call home! Like this double-handled, stamped & soda-fired oval vase. Handmade pottery makes the pretty flowers even prettier!

Textured “panel” made with a handroller from MKM Pottery Tools.

And thanks Rosene for sharing!

Going a little tropical… with red anthurium & sago palm fronds in a stamped & soda-fire vase. I went with a square vase with a squiggly-scrolly pattern to complement the organic floral.

Another beautiful bouquet of farm-fresh dahlias from Vangie’s Farm… at yesterday’s Farmer’s Market in Andersonville. Such amazing colors & textures. I do love growing some dahlias in my garden… but they never get quite as amazing as these ones!!! Good thing I have plenty of vases ready to go whenever some new flowers come home with me!!!

Sometimes a blue vase just makes the blue hydrangeas even prettier! A stamped & soda-fired oval vase helps spread out the flowers so you can see more hydrangeas side-to-side!
