Let the Sunflowers Shine In – Fall Centerpiece

September 12, 2012  Fall | Tablescapes | Uncategorized

Simple Fall Centerpieces - love the vintage ice bucket kellyelko.com

Sometimes, the simplest things give the most pleasure.

hearing my girls laughter,

a bowl of chocolate ice cream,

the smell of freshly cut grass,

the perfect sunflower,

70 years of knicks on an old cutting board,

a tarnished piece of silver,

Simple Fall Centerpieces - love the vintage ice bucket kellyelko.com

and my family gathered around the table.

    My gran used to say sunflowers soaked up the sun all summer to have it shine on our dinner table in the fall … love your arrangement (gran used a milk pitcher to hold her flowers) and your sweet sunny values. Robin

    Love those simple things, too… and you know what? I grew sunflowers for the first time ever, they played nice and actually grew for me… and then the darling deer came along, stripped them of their leaves, and even ate one of the flowers! Deer are now officially off my list of simple things I love! 😐

    I need to get to Trader Joe’s to get some sunflowers- they always have such good prices. I love the container you used to put yours in and how you placed on the old cutting board.
