Like last week, I hadn’t a clue where to begin when I began my hunt for the contents of today’s IAVOM, but was prompted by the arabis shown on yesterday’s Six on Saturday, one clump of which grows close to the back door. The arabis firmly fixed the scale of the vase as ‘small’, making the rest of the task suddenly easier, as I cut unnamed pulmonaria and Cyclamen coum blooms, adding slightly reddish sprigs from Nandina domestica ‘Obsessed’ and an unlabelled heather that had been included in baskets at the front of the house to provide some height.
Today’s title refers not to the contents, but to the vase itself , a vintage Pyrex glass measure, and the prop of two small brass weights – I wonder if Noelle can conjure up a domino link with her vase from these…?!
If you would like to join us on IAVOM with something you have found in your garden or foraged nearby that you have popped in a vase or other receptacle (with or without a prop), then we would love to see you, so please leave links to and from this post.
