interesting vases

It has rained for two weekends in a row, which is unusual, so I've not been able to spend much time in the garden, and instead decided to make the flowers inside the house a bit more interesting by putting them in unusual vases. The vases in this picture are three interlocking vases that hold one or two flowers at the most, as the necks are so thin. The nice thing about this arrangement is that it looks impressive without spending a lot on flowers.


This vase is in fact not a vase, it is some sort of African clay pot, but it looks great holding an inexpensive bunch of flowers from the supermarket. I have placed the flowers in a small glass vase, then placed this inside the pot holder, as you can't fill the pot with water. The use of the clay pot changes the appearance of the flowers from ordinary to something that could be used as a centerpiece.

These last two vases are interesting mainly because of the great shapes, and colors. The tall blue vase is kind of Asian looking with a darker blue pattern on the front and makes even the most boring flowers look elegant. The beige and brown vase is really cool, as it has a kind of animal print on it and spreads the flowers out for a wide display. So even if it's dull and cold outside, I did manage to get some color inside the house.
