Hello Dear Readers!
I love Monday Morning Blooms with my wonderful Bloom Friends:
Lidy of FrenchGarden House
Mary of Home Is Where The Boat Is
Pam of Everyday Living
If you are not aware of our Monday Morning Blooms, which takes place
every first and third Monday of the Month, you can see
my: Blue Transferware Flower Arrangement that I created this past Monday.
I took the last large flower arrangement that I created and transformed it
into 4 petite flower arrangements.
So join me in:
How To Create Four Flower Arrangements
From One Single Arrangement
This was the original arrangement:
The flower arrangement contained Blue and White Hydrangeas, Irises,
Calla lillies and Snapdragons.
I chose the Calla Lillies and Snapdragons
for their slender shape to create this one:
This particular arrangement was delivered to a friend under the weather.
Love being able to bring someone some “happy”!
The original large flower arrangement
contained both blue and white hydrangeas.
I placed the white ones in this blue and white container
that sits on a side table next to the sofa.
I felt that Irises are so pretty just in a simple vase such as this antique
etched glass vase that I purchased at an auction.
So now I was left with the blue hydrangeas.
They were placed into a very sweet ironstone pitcher.
This sits on my bedside table:
When I make a single large flower arrangement for an occasion or an event.
After the event, I often take the arrangement off the table
and create smaller ones.
That way, multiple rooms can be freshened up with pretty flowers.

Perfect for Memorial Day and 4th of July.
You can see the entire table of blue and white transferware with the theme
of Red, White, and Blue HERE.
I will be spending the long Memorial Day weekend with family…

My heart beats Red, White and Blue and your flags in your sugar bowl make the perfect arrangement to celebrate Memorial Day! Stay cool, it’s going to be a hot one!
Shirley I feel like you should be a florist. You have patience and create amazing arrangements. Really they are always so pretty and you put so much care into them. You have an eye for this definitely.

Beautiful as always.
Such a great post, many arrangements from one beauty.
Great reference ideas when “spur of the moment” panic hits..Haha!!!
How sweet of you to give away that beautiful arrangement and then the others are perfect in your home. We will be home, no plans at all. Have a wonderful weekend with your family.
Lovely idea–spread that beauty around. Hugs!
I love the smaller arrangements around the house and you are the best friend to give the gift of flowers.
What a great idea! They all look wonderful. Memorial Day weekend crept up on me- no plans just going to enjoy the warmer weather.
You have very nice pieces of furniture! And that is one nice flower arrangement! Good job!
Flower arrangement is not really my forte, but it’s nice to have a good flower decoration inside the house.
