I so enjoy my limelight hydrangea and always look forward to its late summer blooms. Unfortunately, as the weather cools, the blooms fade. As I was cutting it back I realized that the faded blooms had transformed into the perfect warm sepia tones of Autumn. I stopped pruning and brought out a seeded glass container. I put some of the blooms in the recycle bucket and the others in to the vase. I brought the oversized Fall floral arrangement inside and placed it on one of the islands in my kitchen.

MY LIMELIGHT HYDRANGEA IN SEPIA TONES

I have two islands in my kitchen. I use antique bread boards on both the islands. I love the look of the bread boards, but they do serve a practical purpose too. They protect the surface and act as large trivets.

If you look closely you'll see that I used some of the leaves from the hydrangea to line the vase and conceal the stems.

In addition to the bread board, I have a dough bowl on that island. I know it takes up a lot of space, but I like it there.

I arranged some branches, a found turtle shell, some glass beads and an animal horn inside.
