I have waited a very long time to write this post on decorating with hydrangeas. Finally, after what seems like years of trying, I have abundant blooms. I almost hate to say that for fear of jinxing myself! Although there are still a few bushes that could use some improvement, most of them have come through.
Of course the first place I thought about using them was in my living room. {Hope you aren’t tired of seeing this dresser!} I shined up my silver urns, soaked some Oasis, and made these arrangements.
Just to show you how bizarre my luck with hydrangeas has been…I have two identical bushes by my shed. They are lovely Annabelles, my all time favorite. One is full of blooms (where I got these) and the other one has just a couple of buds. These bushes were planted on the same day and got the exact same care. Totally baffles me.
I’m not complaining though…it’s my “little bush that could” and I’m not giving up!
I have Endless Summer bushes in the front of my house. I’m a bit worried about them because we had to remove a tree and now they are getting too much sun. Hopefully they will be fine if I keep them watered. The blooms aren’t big but they are the prettiest color of pink.
I used a silver pitcher here in my entry. It adds a little shine and I love the vintage look. All my silver is heirloom. I can’t remember ever actually buying any but I know it’s in thrift stores and antique places. Don’t be afraid to buy a piece that’s tarnished. It will clean up and shine like it’s brand new. I just tweaked my silver cleaning method and will be back tomorrow to share that.
Wishing everyone a beautiful day, wherever you are. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to stop by. There are no words to express how grateful I am for your friendship.
