See what you like...if you even like the idea, and let me know. One of a kind...so act quickly!

Table Decorations

Found blue and green round mats today. Tried them on various tables. Have 16 in all. Could look for more this week.

Liter beakers

Liter beaker is 6 1/2" high, 4 3/4" wide.

8 1/2 ince vase, 4 inches across

These are snaps, baby's breath, and statice. The vase cost $10, all the flowers cost $7.50. Might be too tall, but could cut the snaps down more.

Possible centerpieces

Floating bowl here...

Today I took the beaker and looked for flowers that would fit into it. My newly planted hydrangeas are still blooming, so I cut some of them. These are not big blooms at this time of year, but I put two in each vase picture that you see.

The table is 72" and has nothing else on it. I may set it later to see what kind of difference that makes.

Also tried under settings, which I use on a regular basis at home to enhance the look of my flower arangements. I think round somethings would be easy to find. And, you'll see one of roses here. There are several different vases shown, all about the same size. Tried ribbons on the vases, and one is a large bowl with floating hydrangea. Lots of different looks?!

Aldie Mansion on May 30th

Here are pix of the flowers and plants in bloom on May 30th.

Aldie Mansion 4/27

I think it's early for dogwoods to be in bloom. 58 degrees and rainy today.
