It's mid-August in Seattle, which means that the sun is making an appearance more often and glorious dahlias are showing up at farmers markets across the city. These bold blooms come in a seemingly endless variety of shapes, colors and sizes.

I love lugging home a bag full of fresh produce from the market, along with a big bouquet of dahlias — it's an exquisite summer treat, like blackberries picked off the bush or a late-night swim. If you want to preserve these showstopping blooms year-round, here are a few accessories and ideas from Etsy and around the web. Enjoy!
