Many of us are reluctant to think about leaving summer behind as we head into September… It’s hard to believe that we’re moving quickly into August and school starting up again… In some ways, it seems like summer just got here! But days are getting shorter and our hot and humid summer of 2022 will soon be a thing of the past!!

How is that even possible??

I think we’re going to have to ease into fall this year, stepping slowly into one of our favorite seasons…

Spotlight on Sunflowers

A great flower to lead the transition from summer to fall, is with one of our all-time favorites! It blooms from mid-summer right into the middle of autumn! It’s the one and only, unabashed, bright and beautiful sunflower!! This simple flower creates joy and happiness wherever it is, and perks up our interiors with its bold, warm, sunshiny charm!!

Floral Accents

Nothing says HAPPY like sunflowers, and decorating with their bright, joyous faces adds a welcome brilliance to every setting.
