Posted on September 28, 2018 by Linda G

I was in Italy for a good part of September and as always, on the lookout for flower shops, flowers and gardens.  People always seemed to have room for something, even if it was just a pot of geraniums, and even in the smallest towns.  I did find florists of course, and flowers for sale […]

52 Vases: Week 25 A handful of spring

Posted on March 25, 2018 by Linda G

The first day of spring was Wednesday. I don’t know how it is where you live but from a number of reports, including here in my home zone, spring is a reluctant debutante.  Even so I was able to grab a handful of spring out of the garden. Spring beauties int his bouquet include clematis, […]

52 Vases: Week 22 Tank vase and found objects

Posted on February 28, 2018 by Linda G

It is true I’m using a lot of branches lately and I had sworn off using them when I stumbled on several tree limbs of a flowering variety at the curb on my walk home.  Naturally, I stripped off some smaller branches to use. Then I found some pieris in bloom as well.  So…   […]

52 Vases: Week 21 Using up leftovers

Posted on February 24, 2018 by Linda G

Oh yea, we’ve had snow.  Several days of it.  But before that sneaky sucker punch of winter hit us, I went out to prune the rosebushes.  What was left behind were the glorious, red tinged tips of new growth. The green is offset by the frosted green of the vase which in turn helps highlight […]

52 Vases Week 19: Little Promises of Spring

Posted on February 7, 2018 by Linda G

What comes up this time of year in my garden are delicate blooms that invite further close examination. They require a similarly detailed yet delicate container, pictured here. This container is only about 4″ high and is perfect for these tiny bulbs -and moss to create a woodland scene.   A closer look

52 Vases: Arrangement #15

Posted on December 22, 2017 by Linda G

  Still a little blooming in the garden on this longest night. The vase, thought you can’t see it, has some lovely floral etching.  Expecting a hard frost, so I’m not sure what will be left next week.

52 Vases Week 13: Branches

Posted on December 8, 2017 by Linda G

Monday was St. Barbara’s day and although I am not religious, I track the world’ holidays for their symbolism, intent and beauty.  A custom for St. Barbara’s is to bring in branches of flowering trees and shrubs and “force” them, or put them in a warm environment to trick them into blooming.  Like forcing narcissus, […]
