On the kitchen table today… Peruvian lilies bringing bright happiness with their pretty colours (that seem made for these vases!)
My first Depression-era vase was a tiny one only about six centimetres tall that Great-Grandma Charlotte gave to Mum, which she later passed on to me. I loved the green glass so much that over the years I found myself seeking it out in second-hand shops and now seem to have a little collection that includes these two lovely vases.
I noticed the lilies when I was lining up at the counter of the local fruit shop and hesitated just a moment before adding them in with the fruit and veg. At twenty dollars, the single bunch had plenty of flowers to fit into both vases (I’m stealing away the little one to my desk while I’m writing each day). It feels like money well-spent as every time I come into the room they just look so cheery and lift the spirits, bringing the vases and old memories to life too. So lovely how flowers can do this. Buona giornata! 🧡🌿

They do look lovely in those vases. My Nana had some of those vases, but I never got to get one. I think I will see a second hand shop over here in New Zealand. You have inspired me. Thanks Zoe
I didn’t realise until I put them in the vases how well they’d go, Rosemary, I must admit! That’s lovely they’ve inspired you too. They’re not always easy to find but then I’ll come across a second-hand shop with one in it. Hope you find one! Zoe x
Gorgeous colour
Yes, I couldn’t resist these ones! 😊
