The insane weather of late has me looking for a unique vase. You can see the daffodils are confused by the warm start to winter.
Now with a foot of snow covering the garden until a few days ago, and then rain flooding the pots and surrounds there was nothing outside in good condition for a vase. So I decided to move some dried hydrangea to a special Belleek vase.
The vase sits on top of our antique china cabinet. This came from my husband’s mother and belonged to her mother. He had it redone and our wedding china sits in it.
Wedding photos grace the top of the cabinet; ours, my husband’s grandfather and my parent’s. As well as my husband’s parents wedding photo hanging above it.
A perfect spot for dried hydrangea’s now reddish-pink in color. I love being able to repurpose these dried flowers in a beautiful way.
With this vase, I am joining in with the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, from Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
