Hi Archiepem - dont forget Period Living thats my favourite next time I take a photo of some flowers Ill make sure a couple of copies are nearby especially for you
It was ages ago BM (April), just not spent the voucher as I don't go in Boots very often Thank you anyway...when you get over 40 it's just another day really!!
I prefer to leave my flowers out in the garden and, in the case of sunflowers, I especially like to leave the heads to go to seed for the birds.
i did once grow sweet peas for cutting and liked them in old jugs on the kitchen table.
When Possum was young I used to do an eatser "tree" using cut branches from my cornuses and hanging them with tiny eggs and rabbits and so on. For those I used a galvanised container I'd painted and decorated with découpage topiary trees.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Wow! artjak, that is some jug, and yes perfect for sunflowers but I havent got one but (thinks) I do have a galvanized bucket and a watering can . Wait there!!
BB, you could use the watering can or bucket in future for flowers; when I met Top Bird at The Old Vicarage Garden Outing, she said that she had been taught to tie the flowers with twine before placing them in the vase and that stopped them from flopping about.
Yviestevie don't get me started on magazines I also have prob the last seven years of period living, period homes and ideas, English home, country homes and interiors and period ideas! Yes I have a serious addiction!trying in the process of trying to wean myself off them!
orchid lady i have already banned everyone from my birthday this year! I know exactly what you mean
Love the enamel jug artjak and yes everyone that was my other addiction earlier this year! Kept going on eBay and buying French enamel bits! OH went nuts when all these rusty objects kept arriving
Obellix understand what you are saying but still can't resist haveing cut flowers indoors, besides my garden birds are spoilt rotten and it's like a wild bird sanctuary out there
We had our niece stay at Easter andmade lovely Easter tree too, don't think I have pic though, have you? Of yours I mean, I know you won't have pic of mine
And last but not least and then I think I have caught up! Bizzie the sun flowers look lovely and think that means I won the challenge nearest? What is my prize

For sunflowers, I would use this enamel jug (I put the egg in the pic so you can see the scale of it)
