A FRESH CUT BEACH BEAUTY

A few hours from now I will be attending an Independence Day weekend barbecue taking place at a lovely cottage overlooking the bay. These types of gatherings prompt me to create a little something for the hostess. What is more charming, summery and appropriate than fresh cut flowers? All from my garden. A handmade vase tag finishes the look, and only takes minutes to make.

A piece of snow fencing, twine, florist’s wire, scrap fabric and some acrylic paint are all that’s needed. I simply smear a few drops of paint onto the wood with my finger, rub it in, then paint the letters with a fine detail brush. A thin Sharpie pen works nicely for outlining the lettering. When the flowers wither and need to be tossed, the jar becomes the perfect little vessel for beach combing findings.

This sunny bud vase will stay at home with me and adorn the windowsill above my kitchen sink.
