Dried Roses for a Blue Lady

Okay so I stole the line from a song which really is "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" but my "Dried" Roses apply better for my title!


While purging my stock of deco items I sat staring at this pretty vase with dried roses that I was considering letting go.  I talked myself out of it and decided to try it over on my little round entry table.

Several years ago I found this at a cute little shop in town and it came with the dried roses.   I had it in the bedroom for a long time but it lost it's space when we re-did the room last year as seen "here".

She's an antique with some chips but I loved it the moment I saw it so home she came with me.

I also found this lace table topper while purging as I went through a drawer full of table runners and toppers a couple of weeks ago.   I decided to place it on top of the burlap covered table and it immediately changed the tone of the table. This vase full of dried roses seemed like a perfect romantic look to go with it.   Since Valentine's Day is approaching I figured why not add a touch of romance!

So there you have it- my Red Dried Roses for a Blue Lady!

If you don't know this song you can click on this and listen to it.  There are lots of versions of it on YouTube.

  6. Your vase is so sweet Liz and I love the contrast of the lace with your burlap tablecloth. That's how I purge, setting something aside to donate, then deciding to keep it :)

  10. Hi Liz, barely had time to drop by. Your vignette is so pretty. The lave topper is lovely and I still adore the candle holders. Paul Anka was one of my favorites.

  13. What a lovely vignette. Love the vase, Liz. There is something about dried roses that makes them hard to toss, not sure just what it is though.
    Have a wonderful week.
