I always have a centerpiece on the dining room table. What about you?
Yes, it is a Thanksgiving centerpiece and the artichoke is way dried now, but the candles still have a scent and I just hate to dismantle it. The gourds are from our garden and as they have dried and rotted I have replaced them with one still going strong. Yes I harvest the seed from them for next year.

Nope, never have one but you might
inspire me to!

Gotta have something to look at rather than each other.

LOLOL
best reason I have ever heard!

Oh I'm a regular Joan Rivers

I like that arrangement candee! Really casual and classy!

Thanks, guess it will soon be time to change it, believe me that artichoke has seen better days lol!

Candee, what will your new one be? something you already have
or a new design? can we see a pic when you are done???

It will be something new - this one will be dismantled, and something else will take it's place. Just not sure what it may be. Still way too soon for anything from my gardens and the stores want an arm and leg it seems for cut flowers here. I'll be sure to post when I get something together!

If you want to try something fun, have your avatar, or any other
pciture, oiled by chelle. She has done mine twice and is doing
my dog just for kicks. You don't have to use it but it is cool
to see what she comes up with.

I may give it a whirl I have seen some of her work and it is quite nice.

Finally got out of the fall and into the spring. Made this today with a few roses and rosemary in my new vase I just got at the flower show.

Did you grow the rosemary and roses? Do you have a green house?

No Connie, wish I did. We went to the flower show here today and I bought them while there. The rosemary smells luscious and I hope to be growing some this season.

Needed a change as the roses lasted for two weeks now upgraded with daffodils from the garden. This is the first of the flowers to come inside from our gardens.

A bit closer showing the quince that I cut and forced to bloom inside.

Beautiful Is that the same rosemary? Just wondering if the other rooted

That is rosemary and it smelled divine for a few days. Also Harry Lauder walking stick which I have an ample supply, I also use a lot of corkscrew willow which we grow. Thanks for asking, hope to see so of yours hint, hint???

On what table? In what room? Dining room? Oh! As my son used to call it when he was little "that room where we eat dinner on Christmas and Thanksgiving".
My dining room is stuffed with things like this, only much worse now. This was just some cuttings I propagated, and before I did more cuttings and started seed starting for the year.

During summer I always keep fresh flowers around the house. Mostly just bouquets of fresh flowers, as opposed to arrangements. During my peak garden season the whole place looks like a funeral home.
