Tiny Vases

 Years ago I was shopping at a thrift store and found a whole collection of tiny vases for 25 cents each.

                           Over the years I have used them to display tiny blossoms.
        This is a small milk glass bud vase but works very well for tiny flowers with longer stems.
This tiny vase isn't a vase at all. It's a vintage perfume bottle. 
It was from England in the 1920s, and contained a perfume called Cornish Violets. 
It came from the home of an ancestor I never met was then given to me by my mother. 
These mock orange blooms were on very long stems, which I cut down and pulled the tiny blossoms off. 


So if you see a tiny vase or two at a thrift store or yard sale, consider the uses and how sweet a tiny bouquet can be.
