I went out this morning and cut some peonies and decided to put them with some lady's mantle ~ alchemilla mollis. I love this plant which gets sprays of tiny chartreuse blossoms. I discovered it when I read English Cottage Gardening by Margaret Hensel, with a forward by Tasha Tudor, whose gardens are included. This is my favorite gardening book and has given me tons of inspiration!
I stuck the flowers in a tin can and decided I liked the look. Another 'summery idea' is a bird cage ~ this is a garage sale find which I repainted. Inside I stuck an abandoned bird nest, a feather, and my 'bird', which is a softie sewn out of damask.
Just another view of the flowers next to my rocker...
Idea #3 ~ This little cabinet came from a garage sale and had a wood panel in the door. I took the panel out and put some glass in and painted the cabinet. Now it holds all kinds of nature finds ~ abandoned bird's nests & eggs, feathers, pinecones, sand dollar, etc. 
A closer view of the contents...
Idea #4 I added some sand to this glass container and added a vanilla scented candle ~ simple and summery.
A great idea Clarice! I can't wait to see what everyone has to share.
Debbie, all of the ideas you've shared are truly lovely ones. Flowers are my favorite decoration in every season. I really like your birdcage idea...especially with the bird being a handcrafted one. Your nature cabinet is a marvelous idea! I've told you this before, I know, but I really appreciate your taste in things.
ReplyDeleteI love every idea. I really like the birdcage with your softie in such a lovely ivory. Gorgeous flowers, gorgeous arrangements...I, indeed, feel very summer-ized. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's also very pretty seeing your outdoor flowers by looking through the birdcage. :)

ReplyDeleteOh, everything is so summery!! I had a tiny Lady's mantle a few summers ago but it got too hot. I read in a book that the drops of water that stick on their leaves are fairy diamonds. Your flowers are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour nature cabinet is such a good idea. You did a great job placing things inside!
