Welcoming June With a Patriotic Salute of Color!

I felt it was time to re-do the basket on the front door.
  I wanted to re-do the door basket and I decided to go with a red white and blue theme.  I lucked out with a little bargain shopping at Michaels for the flowers.
There is only 4 inches between this door and the storm/screen door so I have to keep all this very flat as I design it.  The bow was a ready made one from Michaels.  I liked the burlap with the white chevron design and it works well with the basket.

If you like you can view the post where I first introduced this narrow basket "here"


These giant white Eremurus (Foxtail Lilies or Desert Candles) were originally $12.99 and I just happened to notice a clearance price on them for $1.99!!  How's that for a bargain!

There were only three of these red geranium plants which ended up working out fine and the daisies spoke to me!   Pick me ... pick me!!

 There were only 2 of the deep blue Larkspur but I couldn't resist their color so I grabbed them up.  I was smiten with their striking blue shade.


 My favorite find at another store....
I wired it to the bow


Welcoming June with a Patriotic Salute!

  2. Love your cheerful floral wreath. We don't have a screen door so I can't hang a wreath on our door or the dang birds build a nest in it. Last time I tried, we opened the door and two birds flew into the house. You can imagine the chase!

  3. Liz, your arrangement looks so pretty! I haven't hung anything yet. I noticed the birds hovering around a few weeks ago; and decided to wait until they seemed to have moved on. I guess I can start making something now. You've inspired me.
