Summer Farmhouse Flower Arrangement

Recently, I having been really into bringing fresh flowers in to my home.  I always have loved fresh flowers but, never really made it a habit to adding them to brighten my home on a weekly basis. 

Now that it is summer flowers are in full bloom around here and what better time to add some beautiful, fresh touches to the home.  I like to get cut my flowers in early morning or early evening.  I fill pretty vases with cold water and cut stems at an angel and arrange criss- cross in the vases of water. 

If any leaves or flowers will be in the water I do remove them.  Finally, to preserve my flowers longer I keep away from drafts, fans, air conditioners and direct sun light. 

Here is How to Bring Spring Inside Today!

Just adding fresh tulip is a beautiful way to bring spring into your home even when it may not feel like it outside. 

I found these white tulips at Trader Joe's very affordable and gorgeous.

My Thanksgiving Tablescape-2015

Even though, we are spending today at my In laws house for Thanksgiving I decide to still decorate my table for four to see if I have items such as china, glasses, silverware to host in the future.

These sunflower napkin holders I had for years, and I love them.  They are still perfect for the Fall/Autumn season and I may even use during the Holidays.

I did not have many matching wine glasses, but I did find some nice ones from the Dollar Tree and did not have to break the bank.

Also, I found theses gold charges at the Dollar Tree and they match my china well.

My china is from Mikasa called "Invitation Platinum"  and I am still in love with it after 15 years.  The only bummer is I wish I had more pieces.

Did you decorate your Thanksgiving Table this year are you planning to do this Holiday Season I love to know!

Happy Thanksgiving
