As always, many thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for hosting this fun meme! Click here to see what others have put in a vase to enjoy this week.
This summer, I found this sweet hand-painted vase at a thrift store for just a few dollars so it had to come home with me. Must remember to grow some asters to fill it next year!

I went searching for flowers that picked up the colors of the vase. Clerodendron trichotomum was shedding all over the lawn so those were easy. Double impatiens won't be alive much longer.

Clerodendrum bungei 'Cashmere Bouquet', Persecaria 'Golden Arrow', foliage from ornamental grass and Berberis 'Orange Rocket'

Taking advantage of the sunny afternoon, I dragged the last of the plants into the greenhouse, planted the thankfully few bulbs I bought this year, and planted a few ornamental cabbages and pansies to enjoy this winter. Sunny days in autumn are very special! What have you put in a vase to enjoy this week?

Foliage from Persecaria 'Painter's Palette' and some hydrangeas got thrown in.

Joining the vase are this autumn paperweight from last year's Glass Eye sale,
A conker, some acorns, and oak foliage found on a walk this sunny Sunday, the last sunny day we'll have for a while,
And a maple leaf rose made last fall that I never got around to throwing away.
