Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a nice week so far. I put together a simple vignette, so I
could have a little fun getting creative with my photography. I brought some dusty miller in from
the garden. The flowers are yellow (not my favorite flower color), so I prefer to cut them before the
flowers open. I love the silver color of dusty miller... my substitution for lambs ear, which doesn't
perform well in the very hot summer climate we have here in Central California. I'm really happy with
the way the pictures turned out... I hope you enjoy them, too. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking the time to leave your lovely comments.
I hope you have a great upcoming weekend!
'Til next time...

What a fabulous name for flowers - "Dusty Miller". I have never heard of them before. It's amazing how simple arrangements can look so beautiful. Your photography skills are excellent Jo! ;)Sharyne

Hello dear Jo,
ReplyDeleteYour little vignette is lovely! I love the tray that you use and the ironstone jug is great, especially with the nice bits of dusty miller in it.
I love seeing your kitchen area, it's always inspiring to me. You be sure to have a great weekend, too.
Hugs, Cindy
Lovely vignette. The music looks great under a cloche.

Hey sweetie pie! I agree about the Dusty Miller. I'm not a fan of yellow either, but I adore that soft, fuzzy gray color before it blooms. :) I'm jealous that you have all of that blooming in your awesome garden already! My little crocuses have only their little heads above ground for a week! lol! Hope you're doing well, my friend!

What a pretty vignette. I agree that dusty miller is at it's prettiest before it flowers. I have been able to grow lambs ear here in Southern California as long as it is shaded by other plants (my roses do a good job of this) and gets plenty of water. Your gardens are so beautiful. I am a new follower and can't wait to see them progress this spring and summer.
ReplyDeleteYou've put together such a pretty vignette, my friend. I love that transferware pitcher and the dusty miller. I think my mom has some of it in her garden...when the deer haven't eaten it :)

Hello Jo....I hope your doing fabulous! Love the vignette, perfect! Happy weekend dear friend...xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteJo, your vignettes are always so beautiful and gentle. You certainly have that magic touch. These photos are beautiful and enchanting. Thank you for bringing a soft touch of spring to us. XO
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jo!
ReplyDeleteSimple, sweet, and oh so pretty.... Love the dusty miller in the transferware pitcher. I created a little cloche for one of my displays this week, too. Hope you're enjoying beautiful spring weather and lots of blooms.

Dear Jo,
ReplyDeletewhat a nice plant ..is the blossom yellow...if yes I know it ...Such nice pictures with the old paper...
Have a great weekend,
best wishes,

Love the dusty miller! I never get blooms on it here in the Northeast, but I can grow lambs ears. It is still too cool here for much besides pansies:( I can't wait for the warm up! Your pictures are beautiful and I just love your home.

ReplyDeleteYou know, I can never remember the names of the plants I have in my garden! This is a great one though :-) It looks so pretty in the pitcher. I love the old french music sheet too. I grew up taking piano lessons, so I love sheet music. I don't remember liking it so much when I was growing up though :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend dear Jo!
Blessings,
Marcia
Your pictures are so beautiful Jo! I love the Dusty Miller in that pretty vase and the sheet music under the cloche is so sweet!

I Love how you put the vintage music sheets outside of the glass where the candle is in order to give it a more artistic look. Very clever.
