Penny's Vintage Home: Fall Potpourri

I planted sunflowers in our garden for the first time this summer and they have made a wonderful addition to our garden. I have dried some of the larger flowers to use in a fall wreath.

I used the smaller dried sunflowers in my fall potpourri. All of the flowers in my potpourri are ones that I have dried from my flower garden.

I have added potpourri to any empty container I saw around the house....lol.....

I thought about buying some oil to add fragrance to my mixture, but decided just to add some dried oranges and cinnamon sticks

My heavens, but you are on the ball! I've never, in my life, seen a home full of so many beautiful things, dishes, lace, just everything. My favorite place to come and wander and look and enlarge every photo. I love it. I also haunt your Pinterest. :)
CatherineAugust 25, 2014 at 4:36 PM
Very lovely, It is hard to believe that fall is almost here. Though I did see some items readying for Halloween in the store!! Blessings, Catherine

That's lovely!
GwenLittleAugust 25, 2014 at 8:42 PM
Beautiful and I love the scent of oranges and cinnamon. Thanks for the post!

Stopping by from the Tuesday Garden Party // I love the idea of turning a fall harvest into potpourri. It must smell lovely!
Deborah MontgomeryAugust 26, 2014 at 9:16 PM
Your potpourri is beautiful, and so colorful. Many times they just look brown, but yours is lovely.

Penny,
Very pretty!! We are having temps. in the high 8-'s after having wonderful weather in the 70's. I am so ready for Fall even though we have not had a really hot Summer....

Hugs,
Deb

where did this summer go........so fast. I would imagine that your potpourri smells wonderful!! I have never thought of using sunflowers. Thanks for sharing!!
PattiAugust 27, 2014 at 8:30 AM
Wow that is some beautiful potpourri. I'm still waiting a bit to pick my sunflowers. I plan on making a "bird feeder" wreath with them. Never thought about potpourri I guess because they are so big. Thanks for the inspiration.
KarenAugust 28, 2014 at 3:02 PM
Your potpourri turned out beautifully. I love the variety of colors and textures with the added oranges and cinnamon sticks. Wish I could smell it! :)
Thanks for sharing at Wake Up Wednesday!

Oh, I wish I would have thought to do this to my sunflowers! I'll have to remember next year. Your potpourri looks very pretty, and it probably smells amazing! :)

Orange and cinnamon with the potpourri, what a lovely autumn scents that will provide. Your home looks very pretty and I love your black and white coffee set.
