~Vintage Roses and Simple & Sweet Fridays #151~

I received a beautiful Vintage sign for
 Christmas from Carly's boyfriend, Justin.
I thought I'd create a vignette
 using some of our roses from our garden.
I used my mother's antique silver pieces.
Added some pearls.
I had a beaded runner to add some shimmer.
Everything looked like it was meant to be in a vignette.
The two bigger pieces of silver are
 a pitcher and a ice bucket.
The creamer and sugar piece were perfect with some jewelry.
I love how the roses compliment the silver.
So pretty!
I took out my sketchbook and watercolored the photo.
Not bad for a beginner.
I took some photos of the last of our blooms in the garden
 before I cut them back.
I'm always amazed how beautiful roses are.
Love to admire them in any vignette!

How was your week? 
Let's see all the beautiful things you've been working on.

  8. Dear Jody and Stan,
    You have created such a beautiful vignette... Roses are one of my favorite things... I have several English Rose bushes... Nothing sweeter than the scent of a rose.
    Your sketch is wonderful! You show great promise... Keep drawing, please... Would love to see more... Does not look like a beginner sketch.
    blessings,
    Penny

  25. Oh, this post made my heart sing, Jody. You know, pink roses are my second favorite after the red rose. They look beautiful in your mother's antique pitcher. This picture is truly lovely.
