A Simple Autumn Arrangement-Monday Morning Blooms

“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:12‬ ‭

Hello dear friends! It is the first Monday of October which means a new edition of Monday Morning Blooms. We finally have relief from our record breaking temperatures. I must tell you while I was setting up and photographing last Thursday (October 3, 5:00 p. m.), it was 98 degrees. You will note that there are a couple of throws on the chairs, just because I was dreaming of needing them eventually!

We miss our lovely Shirley. She hopes to be back with us soon. Thank you for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.

If you need an easy idea for a fall table, this one is perfect!

“October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.”
-Henry Ward Beecher

Our common theme is an arrangement made with cuttings from the garden or yard. It is amazing what you can find this time of year. The box contains goldenrod, blush nandina, sunshine ligustrum, rosemary, and beautyberry. Everything was cut from my garden or on our property!

An Autumn Pitcher Of Gold – Monday Morning Blooms

“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭

Hello dear friends! It is the third Monday of the month which means a new edition of Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends Mary and Lidy. We miss our precious Shirley, and are hopeful she will be able to return soon. 

Autumn officially begins one week from today. Even though it doesn’t feel like sweater weather, I have decided it is time to get in the spirit. I love all the warm colors of autumn and a pitcher filled with gold blooms welcomes the season!

Our common theme for today was to create a monochromatic arrangement…yellow and gold flowers were readily available!

I chose this sentimental stoneware pitcher that belonged to my paternal grandmother and most likely came from my great-grandmother. I love its humble country style which is perfect for my arrangement.

Sunflowers & An Autumn Arrangement

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭

Happy Labor Day dear friends! I hope you all have enjoyed a wonderful weekend! I know you join me in prayer for all those who are impacted by Hurricane Dorian and for those in Texas who have suffered more tragedy. We have very special friends who are on Man O War Cay, Bahamas that suffered a direct hit from Dorian.

Not only is it Labor Day, but since it is the first Monday of the month, it is also Monday Morning Blooms with my friends. We are missing our sweet Shirley and can’t wait for her return. Please join me at the picnic table for a little Provençal-inspired sunflowers, roosters, and a touch of autumn!

Our common theme for this edition of Monday Morning Blooms is sunflowers…they have such happy faces and always make me smile!
