What do you get when you pair a petite bouquet of pale pink pretties,
a little lavender and a burlap sack?
Something a little charming.
something that’s a little rustic
and that’s a little sweet.
I picked up these pretty in pink roses at Safeway
not knowing just where I would put them yet…
but I just loved their pale blushing color and tiny blooms.
When I got home, I thought of those coffee sacks…those ones from Burlap Fabric…
I am loving them and wanted to use them for another project so…
I got out my sewing machine and a few minutes later
a little burlap sack
with a faded green stripe appeared.
I set a mason jar inside the sack for a little bit of water for the flowers
and placed it on the wall with a small bouquet of roses
with a little bit of lavender mixed in.
Then I thought…
two would be twice as nice.
I love the rustic texture and look of the burlap sack
with the soft, sweet charm of the flowers.
A quick little project
but I am loving how it turned out
Almost forgot!

Eye Candy!!! Your whole blog is that way. Your photography is amazing, and of course I love the burlap! How do you get the effects of your photo's, do you have any special photoshop actions you use? Beautiful.

Courtney says
Hi Leanne~ I actually didn't use any effects on these photos- other than the one that is the focal B&W. It's all in the settings on the camera 🙂
