Inspiration comes in many forms. Today, I was inspired by Dogwood blossoms! I made several of these little dogwoods, in a few different sizes. The weather has just been so pleasant, what better way to celebrate spring than the beauty of a handmade dogwood!
I wanted to create an easy and fresh vignette on our buffet, using the dogwoods I made and incorporating yellow, in the way of lemons. Keeping the same accessories and black that I usually have.
I added a springtime garden bunny, he looks right at home amongst the dogwoods
The wise old owl, a goodwill find, that I spray painted white, joins in on the fun. I just love him under glass!
You might remember when I recently painted this basket, I wired our initial onto it, layering without commitment...the best kind!
I used a small branch from the yard and glued some of the dogwoods on, with a little nest, of course, under glass.
I am going to be showing you how to create your own dogwoods next week, be sure to stop back by!
Also, I gave my mantle a springtime makeover! Stay tuned!!! See the little sneaky peek in the reflection? Ain't I a stinker !?!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're inspired!!!

That is SO cute! I love that they won't ever wilt but look totally realistic. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I love what you did with your dogwood flowers! Looks very nice! I did something similar with paper dogwood flowers: http://framefanatic.blogspot.com/2010/03/copycat-friday-paper-dogwood-flowers.html
ReplyDeleteAlthough yours looks much more realistic. :0)
Following you from New Friend Friday! I love the dogwood blossoms and the cloches. Where did you find them? I have looked everywhere for cloches and have not been able to find any.
ReplyDeleteI am a new friend from FF. I love the dogwood blossoms! I also adore that little owl! I look forward to poking around and reading more. Hope you have a great weekend.

Beautiful photos as always! You should add it to UNDER THE CLOCHE on flickr too to give inspiration! Everyone will go bananas for your photos!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from New Friend Friday. I love the dogwoods! It's our state tree here in TN. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI may have to steal the initial wired onto the basket idea ~ I love that and you're right, no committment! Love your dogwood blossoms. I have a few Kousa Dogwoods and I love them. I purposely picked them out for planting in our yard. I almost forgot I have a bag of faux lemons somewhere in my craft closet ~ they'll be coming out soon to go back in their apothecary through Summer. Can't wait to see your reveal!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteAs always, everything is stunning. You have great taste and I always enjoy seeing the beautiful vignettes you create. Looking forward to seeing more of the mantel.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
