This beauty was inspired by the color of egglant. \u00a0So once again, I combined veggies and florals into one bountiful arrangement.<\/p>\n

Here is my Recipe –
\nGreens:
\n<\/strong>Purple Kale
\nBeet Leaves
\nOrnamental Kale<\/p>\n

Veggies:
\n<\/strong>Chinese Eggplant
\nRutabagas<\/p>\n

Flowers<\/strong>
\nBurgandy Lilies
\nPink Stock
\nHot Pink Garden Roses

I made the arrangement in my grandmother’s sterling water pitcher. \u00a0Heirloom pieces give such a timeless quality to your arrangements.<\/p>\n

In order to create a stem for the veggies, I inserted a floral pick into them. The eggplant kept slipping out, so I used a chopstock for him.<\/p>\n

The colors of this baby and the antique vase begged to be seen on a red velvet tablecloth. \u00a0 So I gave it a try. (But notice…that lone eggplant jumped out of the arrangement again!)

But really…it looks just as lovely on my rustic farm table.\u00a0Love the combo of the old weathered wood with the smooth sterling vase, and the earthiness of the veggies with the delicate beauty of the flowers.\"IMG_2191\"And looks lovely on my outdoor bistro table too. \u00a0The ivy covered cedar\u00a0fence background compliments it’s style well. \u00a0Almost makes me feel like I live in southern France. Bonjour!<\/p>\n

Thank you mother nature of such beautiful combinations. You inspire me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
