Out of the sand and looking great
Three days ago, I placed a few hollyhock blossoms into dry sand
You only need a few dried flowers to enhance a potpourri
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend, my dear blogging friends.

Hi dear Gina, I love peeping into your beautiful world of creation !
ReplyDeleteI can see, you're quite busy but tell me when do you go to Paris ? I'm going there on wednesday...Give me a shout if you're there by that time ! :-)
Hi Karena, This is the perfect time to dry flowers in sand, while the weather is sunny and warm. Only dry the flower heads. Zinnias also work well but daisies and daisy-like flowers come out with petals undone. Try roses,those that are not too open.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck,
Gina
Dear Lala, We don't see Paris until October. We are going to Marrakech first.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so lovely if we could meet. I'm getting very interested in seeing Spain and Portugal again. Maybe then ......
Have a wonderful trip and please take some of your fabulous photographs.
Those hollyhocks are just beautiful...love the container you put them in! All this talk about Paris has me jealous!
ReplyDeleteDear Theresa, Dried hollyhocks are beautiful in holiday wreaths and garlands. They provide an unexpected splash of color.
ReplyDeleteI purchased the French bulb planter many years ago....on one of those lucky days.
