Summer Florals Tablescape
Just a month left of our beautiful summer. I hope you have enjoyed yours. The state I live in is probably the most diverse in its topography. A high-mountain desert and the 2nd dryest state in the U.S.. No tropical area anywhere, but diverse in temperature. Where I live you always have at least a 100 degree variance in the temperature. It could even vary more than 100.
Our soils don't naturally have much organic matter and the soil is very alkaline. Great for lilac bushes. I don't know what happened this year but my Buddleia or Butterfly bush has grown 12 feet tall. They are supposed to die back to the ground each winter. Needless to say it didn't. I cut some of the branches to use for my centerpiece. If you see holes in the leaves, that is a good thing. It means Butterflies are living on my property. The BEAUTIFUL Monarch butterflies are what I see.

Please feel free to leave a comment below. Thank you so much.
For photography purposes, I move the table back towards the window so I can get a better distance photo.
I have tried to use many colors from the design on the plate for this tablescape.
A little Rose bud in a small bottle at each place. The adorable detailed bottles originally held bath oil. I saved them to use for tiny vases.
The large Urn is from Pottery Barn. They call them "Found" urns. Originally used as olive jars or wine jars, just depends. They are kind of pricey, but I purchased this at an outlet for $20.00. It was a great buy as it is very large and heavy-weight quality glass. The glass beads were also at the outlet. I purchased many bags in different colors as they were 20 cents a bag.....
Thank you for looking.
I will be posting this at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
