Decorating with silk flowers..


Today, I was happy to find a basket full of candle-rings of various silk flowers in all shapes and sizes at a flea market in Visby, and paid an astonishing four dollars for the lot!
And I had no idea what to do with them at that point..just had to have them! When I got back home I spread them on the floor pondering upon how to make the best use of them.


  Half an hour later this is where most of them ended up!
 
  How easy wasn´t it to thread them on to an old curtain wire I found at home..
And I assembled them rather tightly as you can se from this close-up.
I know this pretty flowery festoon will please me immensely, especially when the winter storms start whipping the windows in a few months.
 
The remainder of the candle-rings ended up here along the edge of a wrought iron lamp in the kitchen.

Those had of course to be cut open before attachment..
This is an idea I bluntly stole from my sister who has a great arrangement ..
 
..like this in her big country kitchen.
