I am crazy for dahlias and could just not wait to share these with you. They are huge. The color variation amazing. I am not sure if they fall into the dinner plate variety, but one in a single stem vase makes quite a statement. The Market is still abundant with the blooms, so I am taking every chance I can to have them in the shops and at home.
They were placed around the 86 Pine shop in vintage bottles. Customers commented on them much of the day, asking if they were real. Indeed they are.
A bunch travelled over on the ferry and I used them on the dining table just like I did the white variety last week-end (cut super short with the head resting on the lip of a clear drinking glass), with guests yesterday at our Sunday supper.
The dozen took up almost the entire length of the table. The colors just speaking of Autumn.
We thought we were done with outdoor dining, but this incredible weather just won’t stop. The dahlias just adding to the cheeriness & delight of being able to have our meal outside.
I just love your last photo. It’s absolutely fall with the low sun and warm colors but clearly shares all the wonderfulness of outdoor dining this late in the season. The little sailboat is a sweet detail.
Hi Janet. Happy you like that photo, it is one of my favorites too. Happy Autumn, Ted
The dahlias are incredible! The color is almost beyond belief. I agree with Janet, the last photo is also my favorite. A picture perfect snapshot of life in the Northwest, courtesy WK.
Hey Ted, a very warm hello from Florida! Loving the plates – so perfect for the first week of fall. Can’t wait to see more shots of the delights you guys scooped up at market!
Is it wrong to want to live inside your blog? Specifically your photos???
Gorgeous, again!
Hi Mary. They really are incredible, and yes, pretty darn fortunate to live in this beautiful PNW. Ted
Hi Katie! More coming on posts the next few weeks for sure. Hope all is swell in sunny FL, Ted
Laura, that so made me smile. Happy you are enjoying. Thank you, Ted
