Just popping in to show you what I did with the remainder of the soap roses I picked up at the dollar store. You may recall, I used all the white roses to fill my new trencher.
I also bought 10 packages of the pink ones and used them in my IKEA lanterns that are sitting on my coffee table....
I just love that shade of pink! It's not too too bubble gummy and not too peachy either. It's just right! I think it should be called "farmhouse pink"!
Just for giggles, I uploaded this shot from my camera.....
As I was taking pictures of the lanterns, I backed up and fell backwards over the ottoman! I guess I forgot it was there! This picture must have snapped as I was tumbling over! Ha! Made me laugh when I was loading the photos onto my computer!! No worries.....no injuries!!
I filled one of my kitchen jars with some roses too.........
some heart shaped marshmallows and Trader Joe meringues are filling the other two jars.
and I just love my #3 cow tag I purchased at Factory and Farmhouse Furnishings in Clintonville....
Thanks for visiting! Hope you had a good start to your week!

Love them! Certainly sets the mood! Hope you're ok!!
Your home looks so inviting! Very pretty roses. They so don't look like soap :). Also, glad you didnt hurt yourself! I can see myself falling over an ottoman too. Funny!
Love the roses in the lantern - so pretty and your coffee table is just awesome
You are amazing , taking dollar soap roses and making them look like little jewels tucked in your lanterns and jars !

The roses are just perfect, you just inspired me to try something like this with a latern I purchased this summer. I love what you did with the jars in the the kitchen. I just love Trader Joes.

You are so cute, I love the ceiling shot and hope you didn't get hurt. :)
The roses look so pretty in the lantern as do the yummies in the glass jars.
Love this!
Hi Polly,
Oops, I can't tell you how many times I've fallen backwards trying to take a photo! LOL! Glad you didn't get hurt.
Love the way you are using the soap rose petals. I've seen these before and they are pretty.
hugs

They're beautiful! And I too love that shade of pink...perfection! Love how you filled your apothecary jars. I need to find your other post about the soap roses...I've missed stopping by here and I'm just now getting caught up with you! xo ~Lili
So pretty. Great ideas. I saw the roses at Walmart, too. They only had red though and were more than $1, but there were probably more in the pkg. I'd love to know where you got your jars. I really need some just like that.
to anonymous: i have picked up my jars here and there over the years, mostly yard sales and thrift stores. TJ Maxx has a great selection and so does Hobby Lobby! Thanks for coming by!
