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!!!

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!

For another Mugshot Monday… not every mug needs coffee. Just sayin’…
And thanks Rosene for sharing!

The framed tiles look pretty great there too!!!
