Yesterday, I wrote about flowers to cut and bring in the house for a burst of color.
How do you display your flowers in the house? Since I often have just a few blooms from the garden, I use small jars, bottles and other repurposed items.
Instead of making large arrangements (that are more difficult, in my humble opinion), I just put a few blooms in small “vases.” Here are what I used this week for vases.
Two Ball mason jars from a thrift store, two Coca Cola Bottles from the Coke Tour in Atlanta, a Frappacino bottle and a glade candle holder (I save these after cleaning out the wax – they work perfect for tiny blooms and look adorable in the bathroom).
And, this is what I came out with after a quick trip outside.
(Roses, ranunculus, dalia and salvia)
These small “arrangements” look great in bedrooms, bathrooms and other nooks. Nothing fancy, but sweet nonetheless.

I love this! I need to get some more flowers growing in my garden so that I can just trim some off and bring them in to enjoy! Love the random bottle look though!!! Very cute!!!

For flowers with long stems (especially if there’s only one or two stems), I love using wine bottles.
Jill says
I use little random bottles, too. When I do have a big bouquet, I end up using my glass pitcher. I think it looks kind of fun.

Love the Mason jars! I agree with you – it’s so much easier to do a bunch of little vases rather than trying to arrange flowers into a huge bouquet. I’m just terrible with things like that!

I love the cake bottles. That’s such a great idea to display flowers. Come by for a chance to win a beautiful glass paperweight. Good Luck

Oh, I love the Coke bottles! Thanks for the idea – I have two of them in my cabinet right now.
