I really like using simple glass jars for flowers, but equally I do love to eye up the second hand selection in the community store, just in case something perfect turns up. I got two lovely little bud vases there last year.

I had to laugh as I found myself looking at a very pretty bottle of horribly expensive balsamico vinegar today....

I thought I'd made a mistake when the blooms first opened as they were a wishy washy lemon colour and did nothing for me at all, but they've come beautiful, just like yours. I wonder if they all start out this way or if mine are unusual in some way.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-76866469767418759302015-04-21T10:55:16.547+01:002015-04-21T10:55:16.547+01:00I don;t have the FB problem as I never post a phot...I don;t have the FB problem as I never post a photo of myself and no-one else does either but UIdo need some new clothes, Love your colour combinationSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-7520397136360382182015-04-21T07:31:59.329+01:002015-04-21T07:31:59.329+01:00Ah! sitting in the sunshine planning holidays.

I have a total of about three clear, plain vases. I really only needed a vase every now and then when I splurged and bought myself a bouquet at the grocery store every now and then (somehow it never phases my husband to purchase cut flowers). But now that I've really built up my cut flower garden this past year, I'm able to have weekly vases from the garden and three vases most certainly is not enough. I'm definitely keeping my eyes out for hidden treasures at rummage sales this year, as well as know what is on my gift wish list.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215678221173950533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-50462529797381013422015-04-20T23:34:49.763+01:002015-04-20T23:34:49.763+01:00Lovely combination of colours, Anna, thanks for sh...Lovely combination of colours, Anna, thanks for sharing!Anca Tîrcăhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229230743499714728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-72673376548542582912015-04-20T22:22:33.006+01:002015-04-20T22:22:33.006+01:00Yes, Anna, I am there with my tally chart every we...Yes, Anna, I am there with my tally chart every week, noting whether bloggers have used the same vase or the same flowers week after week. I will name and shame in due course..... ;) Of course, it's those with lots of charity shop and car boot vases that they still haven't used who are the worst culprits - mea culpa!! You have tricked us by removing the 'onion relish' label from your vase though! What a lovely selection of spring flowers you have used in your jar though, regardless of its overexposure - and it shows that sparing a bloom or two of even the most precious things in our gardens adds a little something to our vases.Thanks for sharing - and enjoy your vase search, especially now the car boot season has started!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-82185649110048262592015-04-20T22:00:11.838+01:002015-04-20T22:00:11.838+01:00Beautiful vases are exempt from overexposure :) lo...Beautiful vases are exempt from overexposure :) lovely arrangement and happy new vase hunting!Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.com
