... not really!
Walking past a card shop last week, I spotted these Halloween pumpkin mugs in the window; finding they were half price, at just £4, was an opportunity not worth resisting, even if the mug only gets used once a year. For today's vase, it was filled with overblown blooms of Dahlia 'David Howard', already beginning to drop their petals, and a couple of spikes of late but ghostly heuchera blooms. There is also a small and lichen covered twig in amongst the blooms, not visible in the photo above, but evident in the overhead shot below:
Supporting the vase is a larger twig, the lichen suggesting tangles of spidery webs, and a ghostly paper lantern made to demonstrate the technique to The Tinker and The Boy when they were here on Grannie Day on Thursday. We also made pumpkin and bat lanterns.
It would not surprise me if there were more Halloween-themed vases today, but if you have blooms or other material to share in any vase or jam jar please join us by adding the usual links to and from this post. Please note, we are rapidly approaching the ninth anniversary of IAVOM when I usually throw down a challenge of some sort, so watch out!
