Bringing It Indoors. . .

I  l o v e  Sunflowers! ! !

"Mr. Ed" grows Sunflowers just for me On Crooked Creektt!

So~o~o. . .
while the Sunflowers  are beginning to bloom,
I felt compelled to follow suit by bringing it indoors.

My amazing five foot  n o t h i n g  stature 
causes anything above tabletop to be done atop a two~step ladder.

After numerous trips 
                                          up~
                                                 and~
                                                            down,
the faux Sunflowers received a raving review from "Mr. Ed"!

My Santos has remained in the same spot,
on the Entry Hall Console Table,
since arriving On Crooked Creektt at Christmas 2013.

Wanting to bring her into the Living Room decor,
today was the perfect chance to include her 
into the design of a Sunflower vignette.

First,
a thorough dusting of the heirloom vintage White Sewing Machine Cabinet.
                                                                          (Brand name of the sewing machine.)

Next,
I placed the grey screen as a background and placed my Santos in front.
Of all the Santos I've seen, I absolutely adore this one!

She has the most mischievous, 
yet gentle, expression on her face.

Each time I gaze upon her. . . 

I smile!


Being a hopeless romantic,
I'd love to fill every corner of our 1970's Ranch Style Home with florals.
While you'll see florals e v e r y w h e r e, I do (try to) practice restraint.

Keeping with bringing it indoors,
I placed a pot of ivy near the lamp for a touch of green 
and to replicate the vinca ivy that grows beyond the patio doors(here).

I like the softness it gives to the top of the vintage sewing machine cabinet.

Of course,
more Sunflowers are added to fill the void to the left of Santos.

Now, as I gaze upon this vignette within our Living Room, 
I catch a glimpse of what lies externally in On Crooked Creektt's Gardens.

Bringing it indoors 
and enjoying the view of the out~of~doors. . .
On Crooked Creektt!

Until next time. . .
