Last Of The Roses

It is supposed to rain here for the next week, so I thought I would go out and bring in the last of my roses so they wouldn't get all ruined in the rain. Here they are in a tarnished silver pitcher, sitting in a neat old wooden bowl. I snagged the cute tray today from my friend Ester. She told me it is made from an old table top and she added the handles. I LOVE it. Added some acorns and candles to a couple of goblets and walah, I have a center piece. It needs a bit more fluffing, but I am liking it for now. What do you think?

  1. I am in love with tarnished silver pieces. Isn't it funny that they always make a big deal about how nice it will clean up while we are like no, I WANT it like this :)

  6. It's raining here, and I wish I'd done what you did. I should have gathered the last few roses that are still blooming. Yours are so beautiful in the silver pitcher.
