well.... just about everything I could get my hands on. This is a window box at the shop - I filled the base with some artificial greenery to kind of hold everything in place - nestled in my leftover ornamental cabbage - added an old garden rake - tucked in some nandina berries, some ornamental grass plumes, - and oh yeh, I also placed a twiggy pocket in the front of it.
I just love the natural stuff - it's pretty and FREEEEEEE - YIPPEE!
Oh and don't you jus' love that black and white check ribbon. Got that from my sweet friends at Brenda's Flowers. I think I'll have to go back for more.
Oh I must confess, I'd been cheating a bit with my pictures - my header is actually from last year - but now that I'm getting things going I'll be sharing with you some pictures that are current.
And I'm really gonna miss you guys - but I have to be gone for a couple of days - we are getting ready for our 10th annual Christmas in the Country this Saturday. They say it may even snow a bit - now that would be soooo exciting - as long as everyone could still get here of course. But I love the snow - it is so peaceful.
So my friends - have a splendid end of the week and weekend. I'll post some pics next week. As always, thanks for stopping by and many blessings to you.

Hi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI just happened upon your blog and have spent so much time reading and looking at all your wonderful pictures.
You have such a gift for arranging and decorating. I love all your arrangements and love that they are natural!
I hope you don't mind, but I'll be adding you to my blog list as well so I can visit more often.
Blessings to you~

I love your header. That window box is fabulous. All we have to do is look around our surroundings sometimes for inspiration. I used to hate those cabbage plants when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I love them for fall . I wish that I had a Magnolia tree somewhere around my house. I think I'll plant one. LOL. In the meantime, I think while my neighbors are at work, I'll look around in their backyard to see if the have a Magnolia tree...
ReplyDeleteThose window boxes are gorgeous! Love the ribbon too!
ReplyDeleteI hope your open house was a success:)
