~fresh flowers in the home~

 I love using fresh flowers in my home.

Even if it's raining outside

{which it usually is}

they somehow bring a little sunshine in.

I also like using them in containers other than the typical vases.

The blue flowers above are displayed in a vintage canister, while the roses below are in a pretty white enamel pitcher.

 Mason jars are a great inexpensive way to display single blooms.

You can also recycle your leftover jam and jelly jars right out of your fridge for a different approach to this.

 Grouping colorful flowers with old bottles in the same hue makes for a striking display.

I'm thinking hydrangeas in vintage blue mason jars would be lovely!

 This is one of my favorites, the colors are beautiful.

Here is a tip.

Head to your grocery store and buy some of this.

Empty the contents into another container and use the tin for a vase, it's gorgeous!

 You don't need to look further than your kitchen cupboards......

 This is very sweet. 

A little jar filled with clippings and tied onto a fence with ribbon.

 But if you must, standard vases are always beautiful too.

No matter how you display your fresh flowers, they are sure to add a little bit of sunshine to your home!
