Eighteen Easy Flower Arrangements To Make At Home With Cut Flowers
I love to fill our home with flowers from the cutting garden, over that last three years of growing, there has been an abundance of flowers. I love to arrange them in pretty colourful tins, vases, jugs, Babycham glasses, and vintage china tea sets. Most vessels I have collected from vintage shops, car boot sales, been gifted, eBay, and local fairs.
Decorating tables throughout our home, adding flowers to guest rooms, and brightening up small areas of the home allows me to bring the garden inside. Even when it can be too cold or hot to sit outside you can enjoy flowers throughout your home all year round.

Highlight: The floral scent of sweet peas was wonderful and the colourful display made a great eye-catching centerpiece for a tea party get together. This display was quite large so I set up a little table clear of things to show it off.
Flowers included: mixed sweet peas, with Cosmos bipinnatus 'Purity', Cosmos bipinnatus 'Dazzler', and Cosmos 'Cupcake Blush’.
