These cheery flowers are instant ‘mood-lifters’ and never fail to make me smile.
Sunflowers are the perfect flower to transition from summer to fall

Sunflowers convey warmth and symbolize adoration, loyalty and longevity.

Between Naps on the Porch
Oh Mary…your sunflowers brought a smile to my heart. For the second year the squirrels ate the tiny sunflowers as they sprouted so my second planting this year is still small. Need to figure out some netting for next year! Peace.
Your flower bouquet creations and beautiful tablescapes always take my breath away!🌻💜
Just sitting out on our front porch trying to decide what to put in the basket on our front door. Took out the faux Hydrangeas and lilies and now know I will make a pretty arrangement of Sunflowers to replace them for August and Sept. Thanks Mary for your beautiful ideas. A beautiful cool clear morning here in N.C.. Enjoy it.
Such a remarkable roundup of your breathtaking displays, tables, and other sunflower creations!
Thank you always, Mary, for your beautiful photography and inspiration!
I agree with Sunflower quote!😊 They say to me: Hello, I love you. Every photo of your sunflower displays are beautiful!
Waiting for rhe “rings” to arrive…the little “sunflower brooches” are darling!! Glue, etc. ready to roll… TY for “heads up!!” franki
YES!! Time for the Sunflower to take center stage!!! I have them coming up everywhere thanks to the birds! BEAUTIFUL arrangements too!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Mary, I have always loved sunflowers and your tables, arrangements, and DIY’s are all fabulous. Every photo makes me smile, sunflowers are definitely a happy flower with their large yellow-gold faces. I enjoy seeing them in my garden, however most have bowed their heads and the birds are feasting on them. Happy Tuesday 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you for sharing all the sunflower 🌻 love from your archives, Mary! Sunflower decor makes me happy, too. I just picked up a tray from FB Marketplace yesterday with sunflowers on it. 😊🌻😊
I adore sunflowers for August and as we transition into Fall, and wow Mary, there is so much to love from your sunflower round up! I did buy some sunflower plates recently, time for a tablescape!
Mary, Your archives have so many wonderful projects and gorgeous tablescapes. Sunflowers are such a happy flower and each pic has a beautiful creation. I love the bees and sunflowers along with the black and white checks tablescapes while it’s still so hot outside. They’re colorful but still cool looking for summer. The bow added to the pillow cover is so cute, quick and easy but adds so much charm. I also think the napkin rings are a great project with a beautiful outcome to enjoy for many years. We’re getting a reprieve at the moment from the extreme heat and humidity. We’re just having normal temps which are much more tolerable even though they’re in the 90’s!😂 Stay cool! Clara ❤️
I have always loved your beautiful Sunflower table creations….So much happiness here, that you cannot help but smile at each image! Always love your fabulous DIY napkin rings! Happy August!…Stay cool!
What a happy happy post. Not only do I live sunflowers but fall is right around the corner. The sights, sounds and smells of fall are absolutely the best.
Mary, lots of sunflower love. I think agree sunflowers make us happy. A lovely round-up of these lovely flowers.
The bouquets are gorgeous.
So beautiful and uplifting…..made my day ~
Oh, Mary, I love them all! Happy August! You do such beautiful content!
I adore sunflowers and a section of my garden has a huge array blooming courtesy of the birds, such a treat to see towering 7 foot bushes shining in the sun. Love all your past offerings and always look forward to more from you!
Mary, your tribute to the sunflower is beautiful – they are such happy flowers! You have such a wonderful array of tables, projects, and DIYs and I love them all. The flower arrangements are all so gorgeous. I have some sunflowers in pots from the DT that are begging to be made into napkin rings and your post reminded me that I better get cracking lol. Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity!
Wow – what beauTiful pics, Mary!!! It’s still blazing hot here and I am just so shocked it is already August and fall is all in the stores and magazines, and blogdom too. Time sure flies. I love sunflowers to take us from summer to pumpkins. And your pics are so full of inspiration. Gorgeous!!!!!
Oh Mary, I adore your sunny sunflower centerpieces.🌻
