Table Top Tuesday - What to do with carnations with no stems

Good Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope you had a lovely weekend

and a good Monday!

Ours was very good,  we got some much needed

yard work done,  watched a really cute and sweet

 movie called "Ramona and Beezus",  went to a 

going away get together for our Music Minister,

which was really neat..... but sad,  went to church, 

 as usual,  on Sunday, then spent the late afternoon

and evening visiting at Scott and Megan's place.

It was our kind of weekend.

Well,  told you last week I would show you what

I did with the non stemmed carntions I had left

over after DeeAnnna's birthday dinner.  

If you missed that post and would like to see it,

 just click Here!

I am linking up to Marty over at a stroll thru life,

so if you would like to see other creative

table tops ideas just click here.

Color of the carnations was a  bit off here as you will see!! lol

Initially, I just decided to float them in this round bowl

and had them just sitting on the counter,  but it was

sort of in the way,  so thought............

really need to find something else to do with these

that would look nicer and not be in the way ......

but wasn't quite sure what I could put them in

so I did a lil scavenger hunt of the kitchen and 

came up with this...............

My french corning ware bowl,  but then it wasn't high

enough so I turned another one upside down and

place the one with the carnations on top,  that gave

it the height it needed,  so then continued to

make my vignette.

Used a teacup and pitcher, then I always love for things on

 the table to have a lil candlelight, so added some candles 

but needed more red so added some red fruit since there is

 fruit in the wallpaper. 

It certainly brightened up the kitchen.

Here it is with the candles lit!  Love to burn my candles

cause it just looks so pretty.

The middle carnation was looking sorta bad,  so took it out

and replaced it with a candle holder.

Here it is with the candleholder in the middle again,

Do not know how these pics got out of sequence.

Now only one carnation left,  so had to redo the

vignette a little!  So still enjoying it..........probably

will enjoy it until I redo things for the Fall.!

You know I  had to have at least one posterized pic in here!

Have to say I enjoyed the change of the red since

I have been using pastel colors all spring and summer.

I typically use red in the Winter Months,  So it was

a fun change.

Just 2 days left for you to sign up for my drawing,

if you are a follower and a U.S. resident.

I extended it until Thursday, Sept. 1, 20ll,  so.....

 make sure to stop over that evening to find out

 who the winner is......................

Cause it just might be you!!!  lol

Thanks for stopping in.... always glad 

to have you visit anytime.............

Have a Terrific Tuesday,

Love,  Hugs and 

Red Carnation Blessings to ya!!
