Flowers On My Table
I went browsing the nearest antique centre a few weeks ago looking for old jars which I might use as vases. The cheapest were $15...waaaay too expensive. Then I wandered down the road to check out the local oppie...and found three old Fowler's No.27 canning jars for the grand price of $1 each. They are an absolute perfect size for filling with blowsy blooms.
Thankyou, thrifting gods.

oh how lovely are your new vases. Those blooms totally show them off too. I love a good day op-shopping.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Are they roses?!
ReplyDeleteYes!! And would you believe they are completely fake?? (The greenery is real though.) They even FEEL like real roses. If you're gonna fake it, do it with the best quality fakes you can, I say!!
ReplyDeleteLovely idea. I think I have a few of those jars somewhere. Those roses certainly don't look fake!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find. I always think old jars should be cheap and when I go looking, I often find they are not. I have been lucky once or twice but I love the ones you found.
ReplyDeleteHello there Lillabilly!! Thank you for stopping by at Forget-Me-Not. I'm so glad you liked the Granny's Daughter afghan. I will post a pic when it is completed (which should be soon). You have a lovely blog and I will return again to check it out better. I agree with the others....the roses do NOT look fake!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog! Thank you for stopping by.
