Today I'm loving my limelights.
They are a garden favorite of mine because they
are so easy to grow and have such tall blooms.
I also love flowers that have a hint of green in them,
and these have just enough mint.
I also finished another cane back chair.
I recovered the seat with a grain sack...
working on a set of four of these for myself,
and the process is slow going because of life.
Currently, I have 3/4 done.
Limelight hydrangeas are perfect for a cottage garden bouquet...
...an armload of these signifies some of the last of
summer's glorious treasures.
-enjoy the day-

they're just beautiful, and loving that great caned chair!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love updating a chair? Great idea using the grainsacks and you can never go wront with Hydrangeas.
ReplyDeleteLove the treasures from your garden and they will dry beautifully for fall and winter arrangements. Summer is so short and sweet! Your chairs will be beautiful and well worth the time.

Your flowers are always so pretty, Andrea. My rose bush is drooping a bit because of this California heat. Every now and then, a new pink rose will bud and my heart will sing.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteyour hydrangeas are beautiful, my favorites because of their color! I also have a "thing" for anything cane so of course I love your chairs! They are going to be fabulous with the grain sack seats once you're done!

What beautiful flowers and photos! I discovered your blog recently and enjoy seeing what you do. I can't believe how you turned "Big Baby" from a piece of junk into that very nice piece of furniture, worthy of using in any home. Thanks for stopping by my blog. ----------Shannon
ReplyDeleteHow pretty your flowers are.
ReplyDeleteCame over from French Country Cottage.
Hi Andrea: The limelights are gorgeous. I love hydrangeas, and have a pretty blue-purpleish one that is blooming away right now. They are the easiest cut flower arrangement ever--one big bloom in a vase can easily be enough! I also really like your redone cane chairs--very pretty.
ReplyDeleteNice chair- the grain sack covering looks great and beautiful blooms! My limelights are blooming too and they are one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI need to take some pictures! I cut some Annabelles yesterday because they went from white to a nice green shade and I'm hoping they will hold some of that color as they dry!
What a wonderful favorite. Thank you for sharing these lovely Limelights with us.

Morning Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI hope that all is well with you.
Thanks so much for linking up again with Green Day
I am sorry that I have not been around for the last week or so
but I have my Mum staying with me at the moment and feel guilty
if I don't give her my time and so haven't been on the computer much.
I will have so much catching up to do when Mum goes home that it will take me until Christmas
to get through all the posts I have missed!
Have a lovely weekend.

Lindos e por isso, centro das atenções...beijos,chica

ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Andrea!~ I am so glad you joined me. I think it is pretty simple my new party rules...you may link up to both the graduate and craft/diy if you would like. The last category is for everyone. The other two are specific. Thanks again, so nice to see you.
ReplyDeleteHello Andrea,

Love the colors of these hydrangeas and lovin your chair redo. Take care, Janice
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! I would love for you to drop by My Dream Canvas. I am also hosting a giveaway to win a 50 dollar gift card to HomeGoods. Do enter the giveaway if you like :)
ReplyDeleteLimelights are beautiful, love the color. I'm looking to add some more hydrangea to my garden and will be on the lookout for this one. I also love your chair, love the grain sack on it. I've been looking for grain sacks forever and don't find any. Maybe you've gotten to them before me! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!
ReplyDeleteDo your hydrangeas start out white and go to green? That's what mine do and I'm wondering if they are the same.
ReplyDeleteLoving the chair and the pretty blooms!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Those limelights are gorgeous and so is that chair. My daughter planted limelights this year. I need to go cut me some.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! These are one of our favorite hydrangeas :)
