I will be very busy this week making Christmas wreaths and holiday arrangements….
…..for our neighborhood Annual Craft/Artisan Show.
I worked on this arrangement yesterday…..
…..in-between creating my Thankful At Home table.
I am making Christmas arrangements using vintage containers, like this coffee tin.
One of my mottos….
I feel any faux floral arrangements look so much better….
…..in a very interesting and sometimes “out of the box” container.
If this does not sell at the show…I think I will keep it for myself!…
Day One of the Thankful At Home Party starts today….
There will be five days of great inspiration.
Today the party kicks off with the following blogs:
Kim at Savvy Southern Style
Laura at Finding Home
Julie at Lilacs and Longhorns
Melissa at The Inspired Room
Christine at The Crafty Woman
The following is this week’s line up of wonderful inspiration…
So hop on over and “be inspired”
Have a wonderful day!!!
I am joining:

Oh that’s definitely going to sell! I agree with you about creating things with faux materials, the more unusual and unique the better! Have fun with the neighborhood show!
Your Christmas arrangement is lovely and I adore that it is in a unique container. I don’t think you will be bringing that back with you.

I used to do this every Fall. We would sell things at craft shows and at a pumpkin patch. Lots of work, but fun. If I were there, I would definitely buy your coffee canister arrangement. It is wonderful!

Beautiful arrangement and I think you will not be bringing this home – it will sell right away.
Can hardly wait to see you on the tour.
Have a great day and good luck with your fair.

I think it will sell quickly. I love the vintage tin.
Great job, Shirley. I just had a dejavu moment. Remember the floral arranging class we took together? You got an A and I got a C. LOL If it doesn’t sell you can send it to your flunky friend in Colorado.
You got a “C” because the instructor had to keep a supply of bandaids just for you as you kept cutting your finger on that floral knife!!!!…I remember you had bandaids on your fingers for weeks!! 🙂
I forgot about that. That was one sharp knife. I still have it but am afraid to use it!
Shirley this is beautiful, you did such a great job and I really love the container you chose. I have to believe this will fly off the display quickly!

Shirley, this is so cute! I love the coffee container; what a great choice! I ‘m sure it will sell because you have made it a fabulous piece for a vintage Christmas!
Another great arrangement, Shirley! Love the touch of red here and that container is perfect for this arrangement.

I LOVE that arrangement and that it’s in a coffee canister! Too bad you didn’t live in Chicago, I totally would have purchased it as a gift for a friend that is sure to love it as much as I do! And I do love that scale on which you have the arrangement displayed! Your home decor is always so much fun!
