Loving These Hydrangeas...

 



Remember those fabulous
Hydrangeas...that I got for free???   [Oct 18th post]

They lasted well thru Thanksgiving and even into Halloween time...

Finally, they were dry..

No Problem...

Trim the excessive leaves...

Trim the stems...

Insert into a HUGE black
vintage planter...

And...

VOILA!!!!

Another gorgeous hall display...that will take me well into my Christmas decorating...and who knows...

Maybe they will find  another new home at that time... 

    


Yes...I see you...You look fabulous...How have you been??




Who is that???

Why it is a Christmas Elf....

Glad to see you little guy...

Perhaps it will soon be time to bring a few friends out!!!

This little guy stays out all year...'cause he is SPECIAL!!! 





 
    Let me close with this summer anemone...

            Can't wait til next year!!!!

                More gardening adventrues...

                 But........for now........we will think about Christmas...:o)

                  Should be a fun-filled one with little Vivian... 

                                 I wonder what Santa will bring for her????....????


              Hope you all had a great day...

                    Thanks for stopping by...

                      Always appreciated...

                                        Cheers!  :o)

  2. They look gorgeous Linda, just think when they dry you can add a spray of metallic paint and voila ready for Christmas.

  4. Linda I love those hydrangeas... I would just leave them alone, they will keep their colour for along time. Any white annabelle that have turned brown in the garden can be spray painted and added to your Christmas decor.
    Christmas is so much fun with the grands.
