Vase love


{Image 1}

We went for Christmas in July to the Blue Mountains at the weekend with some friends so I had no time to take photos for today's 'Thrifty Tuesday' but I did buy some pretty vases which I’ll show you next week! There was the annual antique fair on in Blackheath (what a coincidence) which a girlfriend and I visited and we both found some lovely things. Oh my goodness, we had such a relaxing time, it's so good to escape the city once in a while! :-)

I do love vases but lately they seem to be the main feature in my little shopping sprees (funny how that happens). Just like flowers though, I don’t think a girl can ever have enough! I love these beauties above.

Happy Tuesday!

  3. Stunning vases, as I was scrolling through the images and they were all so gorgeous, I couldn't pick a favourite! The blue glass is always lovely and that short aqua vase is very special... I'm glad you had a great time, a change of scenery is so nice from time to time...
    Flick :)

  5. They're all so different it's hard to pick my favourite style of vase. I quite like little bottles at the moment. Anything holding flowers is lovely!!

  14. They're beautiful Anna..I've been looking for inspiration for Bridget's 3rd birthday and came across flowers arranged in tall glass canisters (the flowers were completely encased in the glass without any petals poking out the top). I hadn't seen anything like that before, just beautiful..So many things can be used as vases..Rachaelxx
