You might be able to guess where the materials making this week's vase have been collected. Shells, stone, pine cones, sun bleached grasses and the odd strand of an unidentified succulent have been found all within a hundred metres of our campervan. This impromptu arrangement is sitting in an empty chestnut yoghurt jar, the contents of which made for delicious eating last night.
Thanks as always to Cathy over at 'Rambling In the Garden' for being such a gracious hostess. I'm off to dip my toes in the ocean but will return later to enjoy vases from far and wide.
Oh to collect bits and pieces by the coast, lovely. We've just come back from Northumberland, where I had a lovely time. Lots of wild flowers, which I am starting to post on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely time. I love the seaside!
ReplyDeleteOh great thinking out of the box Anna - and what a lovely collection of beachcombing finds! And a glass yoghurt pot - will that be coming home with you? Enjoy your trip and thanks for sharing your vase from distant (well, slightly distant!) lands...
ReplyDeleteThat's enterprising, Anna. I hope you're enjoying your time at the beach!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful impromptu on location vase...perfect!

ReplyDeleteLovely beach tribute.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. Bits and pieces of nature collected and displayed together is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThinking outside of the box!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm a big fan of bringing bits back from holiday and creating a nature table on my desk. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea, holiday vase capturing the moment, enjoy your break :)
ReplyDeleteWhat simple, rustic beauty! Isn't nature just amazing?!
ReplyDeleteVases of random plants and displays of random things are great except when crammed in. I cram in! I must learn from elegance.
