My sweet pink roses from last week are gone.............but not far. They are now hanging from the chandelier in the potting shed, drying to a dusty, crinkly, muted pink.
Once dried, the roses will join these. They are lovely in their second life....................sometimes I use them to add to a gift wrap.

A rose is a rose......is a rose. A beautiful flower loved by just about everyone.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!
ReplyDeleteI love to dry roses, too. I just can't bear to throw them in the trash, so I have dried roses sitting around the house in many different places. I love the way your pink ones are drying and the idea of using them on a package!
Have a wonderful weekend!

That is an excellent idea. I always saved my roses, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday! Stop by my blog to sign up for the gift certificate giveaway!
Good morning Mary. Your beautiful roses just make me smile. I have always dried roses too. Lately I have not received any but I am growing some knock out roses in front of our deck downstairs. PINK of course. They are still blooming but not for long. Winter is knocking on our door.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend my friend.
Love, Jeanne
It's always wonderful to see folks enjoying their bouquets. While I have no place to dry flowers, I think it's a lovely idea. Have a greay Pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary...
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday sweetie. I so love this post. Your roses are just exquisite, and I love them displayed in the little tea pot. Then to attach one to a package with the twine, it is so devine. I just love the way that it looks. Thank you for sharing sweetie.
How is Miss Jasmine doing? I think of her every pink post. She was such a delight to visit. Please tell her hello for me.
Please stop by and say hi. I would so love to share my pink post with you.
Country hugs...Sherry
So pretty! I actually have every rose petal Jason ever gave me (not a very big bowl ;>) hehehe) but it is fun to remember!
ReplyDeletegreat idea to use dried roses as part of small token or gifts..
ReplyDeletehappy PS!
what a wonderful idea to use a dried rose on a package. I love it! Happy Pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteYou are my kind of gal. I like to repurpose things like this. Love the newsprint wrapping with the rose. Happy Pink Saturday! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh sooo pretty! I love the rose added to the gift wrap. What a beautiful presentation.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful pink weekend Mary!
How absolutely gorgeous your roses look dried and adorning parcels ♥ And your bergere chair re-do is fabulous!! Have a wonderful weekend Mary.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary so glad you save them for use as they are much more gorgeous in the latter form. Hugs, Mollye
ReplyDeleteI just threw out petals from the last rose of the year. I get such pleasure from each rose from that bush because it belonged to my mother. I have transplanted it twice now and so far so good. A rose indeed!
ReplyDeleteYour blog looked so vintage, romantic and peaceful. Just lovely roses.
ReplyDeleteJoyce M

I just love how roses are so beautiful even when dried. That gift you wrapped is gorgeous! Who wouldn't love to receive something like that?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lori
Okay...I love your drying beautifully faded pink roses but I really WANT to see the chandelier in the potting shed! Happy belated Pink Saturday! ~ Lynn
ReplyDeleteYeah right!!! Roses still look so lovely even in their second life. I am happy that you still make use of them even in their second life. God bless!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to incorporate those older bulbs--using them in your gift wrap. So sweet and quite romantic too.
ReplyDeleteWow, you showed us some great ideas for our roses after they have dried, thankyou so much for all the wonderful pictures, and I am sorry to be so late this week, but still wanted to wish you a very Happy Pink Saturday, Char
ReplyDeleteI'm none too sure faded and dried roses like this aren't more beautiful than fresh ones - more romantic, certainly. And I love the vintage finish you have put on the pix.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday - I'm sorry I'm so shamefully late, but trying to prepare for this show (middle of next week) has totally thrown me into panic mode, and I'm getting nowhere fast! Hence I haven't done my visiting (it didn't help I was teaching 2 classes Saturday, and 1 on Sunday).
Pink roses are my daughter's favorite flower, so we always have a few around. You have shown such wonderful ideas for using them!
