Morning Coffee With the Turkeys ~ Monday Morning Blooms

Welcome to November 

Monday Morning Blooms

I'm always pleased and honored to join Pam, Lidy, and Mary

for their monthly flower posts on the first Monday of the month.

It's a Blooming Good Time!

Thank you, friends!

I'm passionate about fresh flowers and holidays.   

Welcome to morning coffee with my turkeys. 

 

November has arrived, and I have to admit,

 it is truly one of my favorite months.

It's a crisp, cool morning.

November was ushered in with a burst of rain 

Halloween Eve and all day Saturday, 

but the sun is shinning on us now.  

I started with pulling out my brown transfer ware 

pieces collected here and there over the years, and

filled them with autumn colored blooms for you.

The large pitcher was purchased with a 

serious crack in the back, and doesn't hold water.

I filled a small vase with 3 bundles of 

"Emperor's crown" tulips,

popped the vase into the pitcher, 

and problem solved.

I used fall alstroemeria to fill this paper

paper maché turkey basket using the same

trick of inserting a glass vase to hold the flowers.

Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian Lilly are my

 go to flowers because of their long bloom life.

I chose these for the orange, yellow, and ochre mix of color.

More of the Alstroemeria was 

used in the "juice" pitcher.

For the petite creamer, I mixed in some tulips with the alstroemeria and you'll notice I scattered some dried 

corn flowers about the bases of the different containers.

The larger gravy boat holds the quintessential 

fall flower, chrysanthemums.

 I also added a few of my vintage turkey candy 

containers, baby pumpkins, and freshly fallen leaves.

Fall is the perfect time to forge for leaves, acorns, 

and dried flowers to add to a tablescape.

The small vintage quilt throw was an estate sale find 

and perfect for an alfresco tablesetting.

My fall colored plaid throw pillows move about during the season and were a perfect fit for my alfresco setting.  

I invited my John Derian beaded turkey to join me.

This handsome fellow was part of the 

2023 John Derian for Target collaboration.  

Just look at the detail on this sizable piece.

Exquisite!

Would you like to join me and sit awhile for

a cup of dark rich coffee and biscotti?

Wo

The coffee is French Roast with a nice froth and 

the biscotti is Brown Butter Salted Caramel 

which you can find seasonally at Trader Joe's.

A little bee has been buzzing 

around the flowers all morning.

Not to worry!

This little bee is busy gathering 

pollen from within the tulips.

Thanks for joining me on my terrace 

for a little fall flower joy.
