Gorgeous! Now I am inspired.

Oooo, so pretty!

Wow, what a great statement!

Impressive! (especially for dead stuff)

Thanks for the kind comments. I got a good laugh from Brandon. Yea, it is all dead stuff and not the most colorful arrangement, but, after all, it is designed for fall when all the pretty stuff is dying anyway. I am amazed that I see arrangements of dead stuff selling for BIG bucks every fall. I figured my stuff was free and even though I know absolutely nothing about flower arranging, I would try to put something together and see how it turned out.

You did a fantastic job. There is nothing to know about flower arranging other than if it looks good to your eye, it will look good to others, too. And doing it is quite theraputic.

It's a good thing I cut the stuff and brought it in when I did. After a freeze tonight, some of the stuff I use would be mush! It is so depressing to me to see winter coming. Usually I spend my winters reading gardening books and planning new beds, but I already have too much to take care of.

Farmerbell, here is my attempt at a deadly arrangement, LOL! It was a lot of fun. And to think that there is no worry about them lasting a long time!

I do have some black coleus in there also for a fill in. I think I need a better backgroud. The green jutting out the right side is a half dead hydrangea.

Pretty!! Isn't it fun? Love the ribbon--it really dresses it up. Do you have yours in water? Mine are all dried and sitting in a vase with no water. I expect that they will last through the winter.
