Can we talk about non-traditional Autumn for a minute?
Like maybe adding a little bit of blue?
Something like blue glass jars
faded green hydrangeas
faded green hydrangeas
paired with little white pumpkins.
A touch of blue might just be a perfect way to welcome Autumn.
Seriously, I was sitting in the living room
and looking at the mantel
and wanting to do something just a little different.
And since one of my favorites for Fall this year is hydrangeas
I thought about those shabby colored hydrangeas and those pretty blue jars
and thought why not.
Several blue jars marching along the mantel
filled with a few clippings of dried hydrangeas
and a couple little pumpkins here and there- and it was done.
You could use dried flowers of any kind that you would like
I am just big time crushing on dried hydrangeas for Autumn
and I also happen to have a whole bunch of them from a couple of plants that
bloomed beautifully this year- so you will be seeing more of them.
So pretty and so easy to put together – and, yes, in just about 5 minutes
🙂
Happy Monday everyone

it's very beautiful! i love the idea of the blue jars, and i have plenty of those. i just need the dried hydrangeas and i won't be able to find those here, they are way past season and i didn't save any 🙁 but i could still try something else 🙂

So beautiful! This would also look great for a Christmas mantle. Just swap out the pumpkins for candles and maybe a little greenery.

Who's to dictate which colors are to be used? I love your mantel. Thank you for the break from "tradition". Orange, brown, yellow and red are overrated.

I love this! And I just adore the combination. White pumpkins are gorgeous with the blue and the great texture from the flowers.

il vetro è sempre perfetto, ovunque e le ortensie essiccate sono semplicemente perfette!
