White Urn Wednesday

In September I like to add a little autumn to my beach decor....



with seed pods, dried hydrangea, touches of darker blue and a splash of orange.



I found this plaster urn a couple of years ago. I have never seen another like it. Wish I had a second one

~ I love pairs!

  1. Hi Joan,

    I love the urn!! I have one and I haven't been able to figure out what to do with it. I think I have a creativity block!!

    I have seen these at places that carry statuary and we recently went to one in Downers Grove at 75th and Lemont Road. It's huge!!

    Have a great week, Joan! :-)

  5. What a gorgeous urn and such beautiful flowers. I love the soft look of autumn much more than bright vivid colors. This is stunning. Hugs, Marty

  8. Did you e-mail me that I won something?
    I don't see a post about it so I want to be sure. I would have loved the estate sale below but realize I better purge some stuff~!

  10. The urn looks fabulous with the combo you have put together. I guess I am getting in the fall mood...it's just that we didn't have summer yet! Do I sound like I am whining?
    Love the urn

  14. We don't really have much of an Autumn here in my area of Florida — we go from Summer to a short winter and on to Spring, so I'm always looking for touches around the house to give it a seasonal look and this is just beautiful. I love the white coral in the urn!

  15. Like Rhonda, we don't have much of a fall here in Central FL...but we love to pretend by using dried and silk flowers and leaves. Today is my transition day.... Not only do I shift the colors from blues and greens to reds and greens, I change the drapery panels in the living room.And I change my paintings...and this week, I'll paint a couple of new ones...still coastal, but different colors.

    I love the idea of adding the dried hydrangea to your beautiful urn with coral. Very chic!

  24. That Urn is to DIE FOR and love the seed pods in it. I put together pod displays everywhere in the fall. It's such a classer look then MUMs-blah.

  25. I've always been contrary and instead of dark hues have always thought of white as a wonderful fall color. Thanks for backing up my theory-- and joining in Waterside Wednesday.
