Now that Fall is in the air and the nights here in Colorado are cool, our flower gardens are flourishing. The geraniums and the Profusion Zinnias are blooming like crazy! Even the grass seed pods are turning brown -- can Fall be far behind?
In reading a recent post by Susan of Must Love Junk, I was reminded how much I love all of the vintage drawers I've accumulated over the years. You must go by her blog (here) to check out her collection of drawer units. They are fabulous.
As I picked a small bouquet from the yard, I decided that a vintage drawer was in order for the table arrangement.
As Fall nears, the plaid table runner and the blue canning jars seemed appropriate.
I love using drawers instead of a tray -- they just seem to have more character.
I plan to do another post or two in the future showing more of my collection of drawers. Stay tuned!
This week I'm joining the following parties. Please stop by these great blogs for a plethora of inspiration.

Just taking a break for a few minutes and saw you sweet arrangement post. It is adorable and good for you to take the time to cut some flowers for yourself! About the only time I cut flowers anymore is if we are having someone stay over and I make a bouquet for their bedside.
ReplyDeleteMiss seeing you! Gosh it has been a busy summer and September looks just as busy. We will be helping host a fellowship retreat for other missionaries in our organization and using our home and a small hotel we have here to house them. Then the day that ends our son from Calif and maybe his girlfriend will be arriving.
Does Bob do any refinishing for others? I have a friend who has a dining table (oak) that needs the veneer fixed or replaced. Would he be interested in doing something like this?

Beautiful flowers. I've survived the first week and these two days, but, oh my!! I am one tired teacher. The best thing, though, the YOUNG ones feel the same way as this old one! I'm ready for the cooler days, but not a frost.♥♫
ReplyDeleteInteresting hobby...Joyce M
ReplyDeleteO, Sally, with all my different collections, I don't have a single drawer. I MUST look around and find one of these cuties. :))

Sally, a wonderful Fall vignette in your cute drawer. I love the touch that the drawer gives. I have been wanting to pick up a couple. If I do, I'll show you my drawers if you show me yours. lol! Going to visit Susan. She has wonderful collections.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.
Hugs,

How perfect! I love drawers to hold everything together. They make vignettes easier to move too. :)
ReplyDeleteVery creative and pretty. I love the beautiful flowers. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique and unusual collection! I love the idea of collecting drawers with character and the artistic way you use and display them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great table arrangement. Drawers are wonderful for tidying, though I have never thought to use them as trays...until now!
ReplyDeleteI love the drawer for your arrangement. I looked at one at the thrift store this week but it was in too bad of a shape. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very smart idea. I think a gift 'drawer' would be fun to put together instead of a gift basket.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to think of a drawer for a tray. I would never have thought of that and it seems just perfect. Valerie
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I'm going to have to keep an eye out for some drawers looking for a new home.
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea to use the drawer instead of a tray! I love putting bouquets in jars and bottles. It seems so homey that way!
ReplyDeleteThat drawer is perfect! Love it! Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!
