Everlasting Beauty: Displaying Dreamy, Delicate, Dried Narcissus…
As Pretty Dried & Arranged in a Bowl on the Vanity as Fresh in the Flower Pot: Various Dried Narcissus
I’m the girl in back of the dining room; lingering with the last crumbs of her chocolate cake and bubbling prosecco. I like to draw my pleasure out; never leaving too soon. Of course, I feel the same way about about flowers. As the blossoms of my forced narcissus fade and wither, I snip them off and collect them in bags. Once dried, I like to arrange them in bowls and vases; scattering them here and there along tables, shelves and vanities in order to stretch out my enjoyment. Throw out my flowers? Oh, I hardly ever! Narcissus, lily of the valley, roses: many blossoms are as beautiful in dried arrangements as fresh…
Narcissus ‘Grand Soleil d’Or’ – Pretty Fresh or Dried
Lovely in a Vase Atop the Dresser
I’m Particularly Partial to the Look of Flowers in Bowls, and I Display Them on My Desk, Dinner Table, Dresser, Vanity & Book Shelves. Fresh & Floating or Delicate & Dried, I Think Flowers are Gorgeous Most Any Way. Never Let Go of Something Beautiful, Too Soon… Dried Narcissus are Pretty Pinned in Hair and on Packages too!

Thank you for sharing with us, especially today. xo D.
I have dried roses and hydrangea for years and made wreaths. I have a 24 inch wire wreath and it is amazing with all flowers until they finally fade and start to fall.
For an after wedding party and a 50th wedding anniversary I took the same flowers from my garden and many arrangements gifted to me, and made several arrangements for tables and edges of tables as tassels.
I love using flowers twice.
@ Deb – It’s always a pleasure. I love knowing that you are out there! xo M
@ Susan – Your wreaths sound lovely. There’s something poetic and pure about loving memories woven from flowers. And isn’t it just beautiful, when you can bring your nose to a dried blossom, and remember moments long past? Thanks for stopping in to share your story. xo M
