Midsummer Farmtable

Hi Friends, do your floral arrangements reflect the seasons and holidays?

 To me, keeping faux flowers seasonal makes them seem a little more realistic. 

July and mid-summer calls for a few sunflowers and black-eyed susans to be added to the mix of summer blooms. So the big ice cream bucket on the farmtable found some of their happy little faces joining the geraniums and hydrangeas.

Summer means bringing out the indigo ticking runner for the farmtable in the Garden Room. Ticking pillows are a staple for me and I use them all throughout the year, but the runner is my summer go-to for this table. Actually it's not a real sewn/finished runner, just a few yards of fabric folded in the middle with a naturally frayed edge.

I have one of my vintage iron doorstops here too.

I found it white, so I'm not sure of it's original color.

I love keeping this big 'ol bucket here since I can pile

 in the stems and mix the flowers to my hearts' content.

This was my late Spring version of the bucket filled with white tulips,

which stuck around until June.

I bought this "painted on glass" window hanging many years ago. It hung in my kitchen sink window for 11 years. When we moved to our last house I didn't have a window to hang it in, so it was packed away in storage. But I found it in a box last week and brought it upstairs to try to locate a spot that would work.

It seems some days I need a daily reminder to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit.

When the light shines through it's so pretty and inspiring.

Perfect for a summer/harvest feel.

Hope you all are having a great week. 

What are you all up to?

We're in the low 90's now and I'm watering flowers and shrubs every day!

Hope you'll join us Monday Evening!
