MY POOR DROOPY SUNFLOWER…

 but they have put on quite a lovely show this week. I bought Baby’s breath too. Not exactly Fall-like but they appealed. Years ago I found small glass vases, and I put a few sprigs in each. They are all a bit past it, but I like them as they still look cheery on the kitchen table. The petals on the sunflowers have started falling off but later I am going out and will look for more.

I don’t have many Fall decorations, so decided to add Mr. Gnome this year. He was holding a sunflower, and could not resist. I will share more of him and his two companions in later posts. In the meantime I have more sunflowers on the shopping list. 








"Happy Leaf Falling Time Everyone!"

  6. Whenever I have cut flowers in vases, I tend to leave them way past their prime. Even droopy they're still pretty. Your little gnome is so cute.

  9. I like your little gnome. I always intend to grow sunflowers, and always miss the right time to sow them.Next year, maybe.
    I like to see how people decorate their homes for different seasons. I don't, apart from Christmas, as the house is always a complete mess!

  10. I like your gnome. I recently purchased a gnome too. My gnome is a hippy who is sitting cross legged, giving the peace sign, with a guitar in its lap.

  15. I like both the flower and the gnome. Leaf fall is a good time of year — short but good.
