Old, New and Homemade



A collection of old, new and homemade.
An old door and table, some new containers and one homemade little container for the smallest flower arrangement.


I gathered together a flowering plant in a pot as well as some cut flowers all in similar colours.
Some times it works better with just one kind of flower in each container rather then a mixed arrangement. 
If you choose containers of different heights they will work together as a whole.


I mixed some gorgeous stock with purple Alliums and Campanula. 


The smallest container or vase is homemade from an old tin.
I decorated it with some of my favorite purple and grey washi tape. 
I used four different tapes in two different widths.
In the middle I used the tape side by side and at the top and bottom of the tin I put a narrow tape on top of a wider one. 
  

Have a Happy Purple Day!
xoxo Ingrid

    Des bleus qui m'enchantent grâce à vos merveilleuse photos... des myosotis que j'adore en passant par les fleurs d'ail... Je comprends nos amies les abeilles...

    Lila är en av mina absoluta favoritfärger. Så fint du gjort med arrangemanget. Du har helt rätt i att det blir kul och vackrt att blanda olika sorters vaser i en liten grupp. Jag känner riktigt doften av lövkojorna... mmm....

    Kram Charlotte

    I love your purple day! There is something so beautiful when you pull all the right textures and shades of purple like you have done in your post! I really like the background with the chippy white-washed paint. Really beautiful Ingrid!!! So is tomorrow a big day around your neck of the woods? :)
    Have a great weekend,
    Rosemary...XX

    I like the campanule in violet pot most. Great set of flowers. It is seen that you really love what you do with flowers. Great work.
