Holiday flowers

Thanksgiving flowers on the tables

 Big table

 Little table

 Side table

 And in the hall.

They were a mix of store and garden materials:  mums, boxwood, lambs ear, magnolia, rosemary, mini carnations, lily, and baby's breath.   Stop by Today's Flowers #222 for some more beautiful sights.

Getting Ready

It's that time of year when folks appear.  To accommodate a crowd I've done some rearranging.  We are folks who sit at the table rather than the living room so I switched it out.  Dining room to music room.

Living room to dinning room.  The table is on;y set for six here, but twelve will be coming for the holiday.

I had this arrangement in the old house too.

 

I do wish I has a sea grass rug to put down, but the carpet will be going sometime for wood floors so I guess spills won't matter.

Oh wait...never mind.  I dragged the rug from the downstairs upstairs living room and laid it down under the table.  Orientals hide a multitude of spills.

Ready, set, cook.

Flowers a la Eddie

Eddie Ross  tweeted a great arrangement idea that I just had to make my own.  I have out of town guests coming this week and already had an arm full of yellow flowers from the grocery store that I planned to use with daffodils from the yard.

 

On the table ...

 

 I used my silver rowing trophies and baby cups on a silver cake plate.

'Course I'll have to add daffs during the week, but the mums, carnations and lilies should be fine.

 Lookin' fine.  Thanks Eddie!
To round out the house I put flowers downstairs in the "Smith Hotel" ...

 

 bedside, (the hippo is a talking flashlight)

 

 and in the living room.

There are more spread around the house.  I always have tons of flowers.
