unique vases

The other day I came across a box of discarded tarnished silverware in front of a neighbour’s house. I couldn’t resist picking out three little pieces to bring home to try and bring back to life.

The bucket was my favourite item - I love finding little pieces like this that will work as a vase. I think it adds much interest to an arrangement.

I cut some peonies from my garden and delivered it to my Mom. icon smile unique vases  The dark spots on the bucket are still showing, even after a lot of elbow grease but I think they add beautiful patina to my free, cardboard box find. Just always keep your eyes open for fun things like this, that will work as vases throughout your house. xo Lindsay

Spring is in full bloom at the flower shops at Avenue Rd. and Davenport…

I bought these tulips this afternoon, re-cut the stems and am now actually watching them unfurl before my eyes as they soak… Magical.

I always feel bad for the carnation… It’s easily the most detested cut flower on the market, and it’s such a shame seeing as how they’re so inexpensive and so hardy. This particular arrangement can last about two weeks with proper care.

I was seriously impressed with Tracy’s floral arranging skills… I think she has a secret calling in the floral design field!
