I have seen so many fantastic purchases from thrift stores lately that I decide to pay my local Salvation Army a visit to see what I could find. While I didn’t come home with an undiscovered treasure, I did manage find these wonderful milk glass vases. The total cost for all five – one dollar.
As the saying goes, there is power in numbers. I love how they look all grouped together and filled with coordinated flowers on this silver tray. The simplicity of the white color and the different textures and shapes of the vases creates a wonderful display.
They also look pretty lined up across a fireplace mantel.
My original intent when I purchased the vases was to use them as gifts for friends. Fresh flowers are always wonderful to give or receive and when they arrive in a pretty vase it is an added bonus. Some of these vases will undoubtedly find their way into other homes but most, I think, will end up staying here.
Now that dollar was well spent...luv how you displayed them:)

I'm liking your blog. I've passed along the Happy Award to you. You can view at my blog pinetreehome.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great buy for $1.00! I love them displayed on the tray ~ very fresh looking.
ReplyDeleteFantastic buy and I love the milkglass and the bright green flowers and the silver tray. Prettier than a magazine setup!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to keep them too. Think of daisies and single hydrangeas or peonies in each one this summer...oh come Spring!
The silver, white, and green is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteThe green flowers are beautiful in the white milk glass vases. I love how the local SA store can yield some great finds sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThere's power in numbers!! Those look so sweet on the silver tray!

So glad I stopped by. I like the white grouping too that I am seeing on some of my favorite blogs. I was especially excited to see your pillows. I just started doing a pillow of the week feature on my blog. I will be back to feature you one of these weeks.
ReplyDeleteThose are great! They did a similar idea on Good Morning America this morning. I like simple gifts!
ReplyDeleteI love that they only cost $1. Nice idea to pair them with the green.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!A real fresh look!:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous find and don't they look fabulous on the silver tray! Leigh
ReplyDeleteWow...I love those milk glass vases! And so pretty in a grouping too. Thanks for sharing and for linkin' up to Frugalicious Friday!
ReplyDeleteThe green and white is so fresh. Love the different ways you displayed them. The best thing about thrifting is the easy come, easy go, easy come again nature. I never feel bad about giving away a thrifted item because I know that eventually I'll find another.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful!! And all for $1... you can't beat that! :)
ReplyDeleteVases are something that I keep my eye out for at second hand stores and garage sales. They are usually very cheap and they are so pretty! I do end up giving a lot away with flowers in them but I also have them around my house for decoration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for what you do here. Simple beauty and thrift are a great combination these days.
ReplyDeleteI have you on my blog list, so I'll be visiting often.
Great finds! Thanks for linking up. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat deal and a great display. I started collecting milk glass and have about 10 pieces so far. I'm looking forward to yard sale season as the thrifts around here aren't that great.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I LOVE it!! Jealous! Nice find!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful.......love the look on the mantel! Great bargain!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I just returned from the grocery store with my own treat for myself ! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteFabulicious!!! And cheap too. Looks like a million bucks.
ReplyDeleteLove you milk glass vases, what a great price! I have some of those too! I love how versatile they are. I have some on my mantle for spring. So pretty with the greenery.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a silver tray very similar to the one in your post also. :)
