summer hydrangea tablescape

i love hydrangeas.

i had the luxury of spending a few hours in the garden today and cut a bunch of hydrangea as they’re starting to look a little hot….

sad…

so let’s enjoy them while we can, shall we?

for this table scape on our outdoor dining table, i put some candles in mason jars on a wooden tray…

we bbq a lot, so this just pretties up the table and makes me smile.

i read somewhere that the best way to dry hydrangea is simply to leave it in water.

however, that hasn’t worked on a consistent basis for me.

do you have a trick for drying hydrangea?

have a GREAT 4th of July week.  God bless America!
