Hollyhocks in Bloom

Informal country cottage gardens are my favorite.

The bees like my flowers too!

Rustic French Decor

Inspiration can strike at any time. 

I was taking pictures of some spoons to list in my shop. 
I added roses as an accent in the pictures.  

While I was standing there I thought they look so lovely together that 
I wanted to keep them that way. 

So . . . I took a few of the spoons and wired them together, 
added some vintage lace and a handmade tag. 
And viola the spoon bouquet was created! 

The tag can be used for an inspirational word, a name, 
you could even use them on each guest's plate at a tea party 
or wedding and use the tag as a place card. 

Hmm, maybe I should make more of these . . .

You can find this one in my Etsy shop:
