Summer roses are not only found in the garden, but around the home. Now, I'm not one to plaster a whole room with roses, but touches here and there can bring about a smile.
What to do with a china tea cup that has lost it's saucer? Turn it into a pin cushion. It's pretty and useful. Cups with dainty feet are certainly my favorite, but any old cup will do. Fill the cup with stuffing, trim with fabric, and add a beautiful velvet rose.
Just look at these beautiful china salt and peppers. These were an etsy "love" purchase.
A soft hanger is trimmed with a pretty velvet roses. A rose garden for the home.

Love the teapot pin keep!
Love your roses!
One of our guest rooms is painted in a pale blush pink, and I'm using roses -- on the fabrics, and with paintings, china, etc., in there. It's such fun!
Love that hunt for the elusive perfect rose.
