Small Bud Vases …Floral Friday

While sorting through yet another plastic tote container from the basement, I stumbled across several small vases that have not been used since a few years ago. I selected three to use as prompts for easy, fast arrangement ideas for today.

A trio of pimelea flowers graces the inside of a mid-20th-century miniature Ewer vase. An abstract, art-glass accent echos the vase.

Tiny orange flowers work well with the miniature Indian brass vase. A handcarved, Indian marble trinket box completes the composition.

An unorthodox number of four mini-Gerberas are displayed with a souvenir vase from Mexico. The small toucan is actually a candle. I don’t have the heart to light the wick.

The Blue Jay of Happiness quotes British-Pakistani writer, Mohsin Hamid. “I’d rather create a miniature painting than a Taj Mahal of a book.”

    Still my favorite day, Swabby!! Great job!

  3. The abstract, swirling glass object in the first photo is really something. You don’t see things like that every day.

  4. I wouldn’t light that toucan candle either – it’s awesome! But my favourite is number one. The interesting flowers, the vase and the glass ornament. It’s perfect. Maggie
