Paisley and Hydrangea

Only another week or so before my hydrangeas will be totally done.  Many of them fried due to the heat, but I can still spot a few shy ones hidden in the shade.

Now is the time to dry them, just put them in a small amount of water and let it evaporate. 

There is another method with glycerin, but I have never done  it.  Anyone?

I like to make wreaths with them, and use them around a hurricane candle.

You can save some to spray for Halloween…

 

Or gold…

Bad pic, but they are sprayed gold and tucked in with the other flowers.

Tonight’s table…

When I went shopping last week with my friend A, we talked about savory and sweet. 

So for Foodie and Flashback Fri., I am showing these  Savory peach tarts.

A mini pie pan …press in the pie crust, fill with fresh peaches, feta cheese, toasted walnuts , a little chopped red onion, and a drizzle of honey and balsamic vinegar.  Bake till the crust is brown.  Tasty, and easy!

This tart is a good way to use all those cherry tomatoes that are ripening now.

Puff pastry pressed into a tart pan, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese and crumbled  bacon.

Bake till crust is golden brown.

I am joining Susan for Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday, and Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum. I am also joining Suzy at Kitchen Bouquets for Flashback Friday.

Thanks for stopping by!
