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?!

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 weekend cold-front moving through with threats of frost up in Wisconsin, looks like Kristy has been pulling in the last of her garden’s flowers inside to enjoy. Before they freeze to death… ugh... good plan Kristy!

After a quick stop at the Andersonville Farmer’s Market this afternoon… I came home with some veggies & an AMAZING bouquet of dahlias from Vangie’s Farm. She custom-designs bouquets for you right on the spot… using your color choices & while blending her flowers & textures. We all know how much I LOVE dahlias… and I just happened to have the perfect oval vase to put them in!!! Shocking, right?! HA!!!

There are only two more Farmer’s Markets on the calendar…
be sure to stop by to grab some amazing flowers!!!
