I love to repurpose and salvage. Seeing something emerge from 'junk' makes my heart beat faster.

  • Hydrangeas can look like this all year around. I love using them because their blooms are so abundant and quickly brighten up spaces.
  • The best time to harvest is in the fall when the petals start to get slightly crispy. You want some of the moisture content diminished for this to work best.
  • And here's the secret. Set your blooms in water, and leave them be until the water is evaporated. The flowers will then be dried out. The water keeps the petals in their original shape.
