Petals

Sharing vibrant petals and lovely blooms I purchased at a local farmers market today...I only spent $8.00 and look what I created?

I arranged the flowers in a treasured pitcher that belonged to my Great Grandparents, Julius and Carrie Bell Carlson they brought over from Sweden, many years ago.

With Fall feeling weather approaching my childhood memories come flooding in my thoughts today...

My Grandma Ruth cooking in the kitchen, Great Grandpa teaching us swedish words while my sister and I would set the table to share a meal.  

 

Special cherished times and new memories to create this season with my family ... 

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed and bountiful week,

DIY Table-runner

 

I was in a crafty mood last night and decided to create a DIY {no sew} table-runner.

Materials I used

2 yards of burlap  

3 yards of scalloped lace

3 yards of ribbon

7 small dollies

7 vintage yo-yos

1/2" size roll of sealah {no sew) adhesive doubled sided tape

NO SEW Project!!!

I hemmed all four sides of the burlap with Sealah tape first because burlap frays very easily.  

I applied Sealah no sew tape on the back of each element ahead of time before I started assembling the table-runner.

Press, Peel and Place each element...

 

I have a glass top table so I decided on a larger width runner 24" wide and finished the length at 54" so it would drop down on each side of the glass a few inches.  

 

 

My fall feeling DIY tabletop decor is ready to enjoy... 

The adorable scalloped wire basket was a gift from a sweet friend in Michagan.

Thank you Peggy!

The apples are fresh picked from Oak Glen and the sunflowers I purchased at my favorite grocery store TraderJoe's.

This was a simple and fun DIY to make and I completed it in less then one hour!

Pretty in White

White gladiolus in my Living-room...

I bought these pretty blooms at Ralph's grocery store this weekend for $1.99  

Such a bargain!

Scattered seashells on a vintage silver platter...

I pulled out my favorite peroulator coffee pot turned into a whimsy vase added some curly willow twigs to complement the flowers ~~~ a creative idea for a centerpiece.

It is hot at your house? Another melting day in Riverside ~~~ 106 yikes!

Crazy hot summer day, but my bargain betty gladiolus are making me smile.  

 

Have a blessed day and stay cool friends,
