Flowering Crabapple Branches

A friend gifted me these flowering branches from the prettiest crabapple tree growing in her front yard.  Although spring has come and gone, I decided to share the way the branches accented my home.

 I displayed them in a farmhouse-style vase from Target, creating a tall centerpiece.

I enjoyed the added interest to my kitchen.

 The branches lasted eight days, by changing the water regularly.  As the flowers lost their petals, the dried blooms created a natural confetti.  My kids teased that we were living in a forest! Ha!

  I love decorating with natural elements.

 White, yellow, green and shades of pink create a fresh color palette.

 I hope this inspires you to bring the outdoors in.

  1. Don't we all need to be reminded of the newness of spring, particularly as a new season approaches? They are lovely as is your pottery they are stored in, the table it sits on, and your kitchen. I love your blog and seeing the serenity of your home.

  4. They look perfect in your kitchen. I love flowering trees. I wish they would invent a tree that flowers all thu the spring and summer. I ordered a weeping cherry tree. It's been too hot to ship it, so I'm waiting. can't wait to see it in my yard and in my house in a nice vase just like yours!
