Garden Light

Garden Light

Here are some "Make It Yourself" ideas I created and styled for Country Gardens magazine in the Summer 2009 issue. I had a great time shooting this story in VT at Muddy Creek Farm with Jim Westphalen.

I discovered clam baskets make a great

hanging chandelier.

Hang with clothesline from a tree, beams or a pergola over your table. Pad the bottom

with moss and stand pillar

candles inside.

Love Buckets! use them to make pretty

floating flowerscapes. Add a floating candle.

Place it where your friends will Ohhh and AHHH!!

Flowers will look pretty

for days

Chandelier globes from the flea market

make festive votives for candles.

Collect them in different shapes and sizes.

I placed them on a metal plant tray lined

with moss as a party idea.

I created this as another way to bring

candlelight to the garden border. Stacking various

old galvanized containers for height.

The middle is planted with flowers and the

top is filled with water and

floating candles
