Vases That Aren’t Vases
I like to arrange flowers in vases (that aren’t really vases) through the house. It gives a little unexpected freshness and a pop of color.
strip bottom leaves off the flower stems to prolong the shelf life of the flowers
(lavender, cat mint, hosta leaves, mini daisies, and herbs for tonight’s dinner)
What’s your favorite vase that isn’t a vase?
Ginger Says
Old vanilla bottles are great for single, small blooms. We used them at a dinner party as place cards by hanging a tag around the neck of the bottle. Pretty pop of color!

Great idea, Ginger!

Oh love the blue jars!! There were some old ones on Ebay this week seeling for hundreds for one jar! I nearly fell over. I like teapots and pitchers and vases too!
