Floral Inspiration

This week I am using Martha Stewart Living magazine - January 2009, as inspiration for a floral bouquet. The magazine includes floral arrangements for each month of the year. This is September:
I used my silver - brushed urn and picked leaves and branches from our garden. This is what I came up with:

Debbiedoos is having a magazine copycat event this week so I'm taking part. I hope you will visit her blog and see all the lovely copycats over there!

Millie, that is fantastic!~ I love your twist on it, and the fact that you had an older magazine that you found with inspiration in it. I bet no one can copy your copy! So far I have not seen any duplicates, which is so fun and refreshing. Thanks for participating in the fun. ENJOY!~

Wow, the vibrant colors in your floral are just amazing. I should do that. I pull out pictures of florals and then never do them, but I could sure copy cat them in silks. What a fun party this has been!

I'm currently looking through a pile of older magazines for some inspiration. Too bad I don't have that one with the floral arrangements. Yours is beautiful, and I love your urn.

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
