Remember when I shared this?
Really neat little bottles with carrier.
That I won from Verbena Cottage
Well this is how they look today!
I gathered a variety of flowers that were blooming in my garden. I chose things that were light and airy. I chose Hydrangea buds, Ivy, Angelonia in white and fuchsia and Diamond Frost® - Euphorbia graminea, the tiny white flower with the spidery stems. I especially love this Euphorbia but it is very delicate and is hard to use in bouquets without breaking the stems. It is worth the effort.
I think this little Frenchy tray looks great with
the runner I made for my kitchen table many years ago.
I loved this fabric because it looked like a Monet garden. I made two runners for my round oak table.
Since I no longer use the round table the runners don't quite fit the length of the table. But I am adapting.
In the background you can see my French country kitchen chairs. They are a story for another post.
I think this centerpiece is a perfect match for these runners. What do you think?
There is a hint of a future post in one of the pictures. Did you see it?

Hi Ginger, those jars look beautiful, I love the flowers you used. I just heard of "angelonia" today (while on Pinterest). I now want to plant some! xo
Very pretty!!
Your jars are lovely but I LOVE that material you made the runners with- very Monet! xo Diana
Very pretty runner and the centerpiece looks smashing on it.
Hi, I popped over from Seasonal Sundays and am glad that I did! I love the flowers (some of them I've never seen before) The table runner is lovely too ...as you said...very Monet's garden...not that I've been there but friends have and I've seen the photos! I was interested in the French chairs and loved the glimpe of the translucent white and gold edged china. I need to see what happens next so think I'd better join your followers! Joan
Sooo pretty,I love a bunch of mixed cottage flowers. Looks great in those bottles. I think the little white petal edged plate in the left corner of one of the pics is maybe a next post. xx
Your runners are pretty and the flowers do match them perfectly! Enjoy:@)

What beautiful flowers and pictures of your centerpiece!
What a gorgeous combination of flowers from your garden--lovely! And the jars and basket are perfect for showing them off to perfection--so pretty.
Your flowers are beautiful and what a great way to display them.
Hi Ginger. You need to take some the green off of your thumb and mail it to me!!! You have the most wonderful blooms in your garden. You're right - the colors in the arrangement are just perfect with the fabric of the table runners. Are your french chairs the hint for a future post or is there something else that my old eyes are missing???? xo
Dearest Ginger,
Wow, you are almost a poet in photography! Those Monet-style table runners with the bouquets in the bottles are a perfect match.
You are a very clever lady for creating lovely table settings!
Wishing you a great mid-week and looking forward to seeing more of the chairs and china (?).
Love to you,
Mariette
Beautiful Ginger. All my favorite colors too.
Super reuse of milk bottles - lovely bouquet!
Ginger those bottles filled with flowers look beautiful. But that runner, oh my goodness, I love it!!!!! Monet is one of my favorites and this does resemble his work. xo
Lovely centerpiece..
Visiting for Blue Monday- hope you can stop by..
