Daisies and Silver…A Coffee Table Vignette

I have always loved daisies…

…..they were the flower that my bridesmaids carried in their bouquets.

Daisies…the “happy” flower according to Meg Ryan who played Kathleen Kelly in “You’ve Got Mail”

…..one of my very movies…

I would like to tell you that Tom Hanks a.k.a. Joe Fox…

…..came to my door with a bouquet of daisies.

But alas…since there was no knock at my door…

…..I headed to my local grocery store to get my “happy flowers”….

Daisies and Phoebe Howard go so well together, because they make me happy!

No daisies here…just some pretty color and texture…

And the daisies found their way into the dining room….

I believe I shall keep this vignette for the rest of the summer…

…..I love my “happy daisies”…

My granddaughter was with me the day I was putting this vignette together…

…..the next day when I prepared to take the photos…I found her “creative touch”

She does this all the time…I find things added and “rearranged” by her…I love it!

So from me and my ever so cute “creative director”…we wish you a most wonderful weekend!

I will be at Haven!!! πŸ™‚

    Daisies are the happy flower, and I think your granddaughter made the display even happier with a touch of whimsical. Lovely.
    Thanks, Patty

    Not only did my bridesmaids carry daisies – I did as well. I have some shastas from my garden in a vase on the dining room table as I write this. They are my very favorite flower.

    Such a pretty vignette Shirley. It makes me want to polish my silver and add some daisies to my kitchen table. Grandchildren are the best, aren’t they? The little touches of character they add always make you come away with a smile. The latest in our home is little bandaids lovingly placed here and there. Perhaps one day she will become a nurse.

    Cute touch from the “creative director”. Your summer vignette is absolutely lovely in every detail. This inspires me to pull out some silver, go buy some daisies, and make one of my own. Thanks!
