Hanging bud vases...

I wrote a while ago (October 6)  about some hanging vases I bought to bring with me in my RV.  This is what they look like in my kitchen.  I have a small galley kitchen and they work well here.  These had a rooted plant stem, and I added the rose buds:

 


These little vases have thin wires around the neck, which extend up into a loop for hanging.  They are so light weight, I just put a push pin tack into the wood on the side of the cupboards to hang them from. I'd love to have a garden window, but the estimate was waaaaay more than I was willing to pay, so this at least gives me some "garden" around my sink area.

This is what they look like when I'm out of roses, although there are usually flowers of some kind around here, but I like the roses best.  I also have a lavender bush that's pretty prolific, and sometimes I'll cut two tiny bunches and add those.


 See how much nicer it looks with the flowers?  Colorful and warm.  And pretty and fragrant.

 I think they look great with the flowers.

These will be super in an RV to add color and if there are no flowers available, any little branch or twig would look good, too.  Could look very rustic and decorative.

That's it for today.  From Me and My Dog, have a great day, everyone!  : )
