The Grape Hyacinths were lovely this year. They grew tall enough to be clipped and brought in for a flower arrangement. When I created the bouquet, I added Creeping Jenny. The addition of these small pieces of foliage was the right choice for the pint-sized vase.
While walking through a local Goodwill store, my eyes fell on this vibrant yellow vase adorned with a bright blue flower. I was close to being certain it was vintage when I spotted it. Sure enough, when I brought it home and looked up the writing on the back side, Pat Png. Opco Zano, the estimated date of manufacture was the 1950’s. Even better, when I clicked on images, I found that the vase comes in a variety of colors and with different flowers on the front. I will keep an eye out for similar vases.
Thanks to Rambling in the Garden for hosting the IAVOM challenge.
I can see with your sideboard that you are into vintage furniture, and the vase suits the theme perfectly. The blue of the hyacinths goes very nicely in the vase.

I have a mix of vintage and new. We love the old oak pieces with the grainy tiger look.

Thanks Ananka, I’m going to keep it out and try to root a few philodendrons in it. I love it and the color is happy.

That is a fabulous vase. I really need to go to charity shops and shop. Still waiting for my muscari to bloom.

Thanks so much. I’m lucky, a grocery store I go to frequently has a thrift store next to it. It’s convenient to run in and do a very quick walk through. Usually, I find nothing to buy, but this little vase is a treasure.

I am late catching up this week and it is soon Monday again – sorry! Muscari do so well in a vase and often develop such long stems, don’t they? Your new thrift store vase is perfect for them 😊

AS you know, I tend to blitz replies on Monday and then have a break from responding for a few days – even Monday evening comments might not be replied to till much later. I have learned that there are other things besides blogging!
