I love tweaking my decorative accents to reflect the seasons. Sunflowers are one of my "go to" August decor themes.
My classroom used to be sunflowers and bees. It was too cute if I do say so myself.
Sunflowers are perfect for this “waiting for fall” time of year. The deeper and warmer tones give a nod to the season ahead but there is no "in your face" orange. You know how I feel about orange.
I love the sunflowers tucked in around our Blue Willow.
I told you all about my new recliner. Link up a post while you are there.
Our daughter painted the sunflower painting on the mantel for me. It used to hang in my classroom.
I love, love, love it. It's perfect with the blues we've got going on.
I love having art that is pulled out for the seasons.
I added a few crows to the vignettes. They would be perfectly happy to strip any sunflower of all seeds.
My crow in this vignette is a pie bird. I found him at the Le Creuset outlet near me.
The mini teapot is USA. Bill's grandmother rooted her philodendrons in it.
My daughter also made the Let's Add Sprinkles embroidery.
She is so talented.
I finally figured out what this thing is for.
Have you ever seen an eye glass holder?
Drying these flowers isn’t easy. The petals fall off as soon as they are moved. I resorted to hot glueing them back on. Hilarious. It worked though.
I got a lovely flow blue in England. It was only 12 pounds. Quite a savings compared to U.S. prices on flow blue. It was $15.49 with the exchange rate. I blissfully ignored the exchange rate when I was shopping in the U.K., in all transparency. Bill wasn't ignoring it, however, when he got alerts on his phone for every purchase! That is so wrong somehow.
Antiquing in England was a highlight. The transferware prices were insane.
If only there were a way to get it home.
Sunflowers are a fun theme.
My favorite themes are fruit, flowers or birds. The possibilities are endless for each season but this year it's all about sunflowers.
Thanks for reading.
