We had an absolutely beautiful day today.....sunny and 80 degrees. Not your typical Missouri March day!
Although we don't have any flowers outside yet, I bought some flowers at the store today to bring a little of that spring feeling into the house.
Putting a flower arrangement together is not one of my strengths.
But I did score a great find at the thrift store this week that I wanted to use to display my flowers.
Wheaton numbered lab bottles.
I found 9 of these lab bottles and bought them all.
They also had several Pyrex beakers at the thrift store and I purchased a couple of those too.
I arranged six of the lab bottles around a Pyrex beaker and added a few flowers to each bottle for my display.
I love how the afternoon sun shines through the bottles.
I'm joining a few fun Friday parties:
Debra @ Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday
and
Linda @ A La Carte for Junkin Finds Friday
Have a great weekend.

The bottles are great finds and look beautiful with fresh flowers!
ReplyDeletehi Jane, you must have taken our weather from us.
ReplyDeleteWe are so cold and gray here now. :(
Your bottles are a wonderful thrifting find.
I wish we could have fresh flowers in the house.
The cats won't let them live more than a few minutes. aaahhh.
Amy
Those bottles were a great find!
ReplyDeleteI love fresh flowers, but like Amy, our cat won't let them be.

ReplyDeleteBrenda
The bottles do look great with the sun light shining through the window and through them, great display! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThose are tooooo cool Jane! Love em, I would have scooped them up too. They look so pretty with your spring flowers in them.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of fresh flowers in plain bottles or mason jars. What part of Missouri are you from? My husband's family is from Louisiana, MO. We are planning on flying into St. Louis this summer, visiting his 102+ yr. old grandmother & then to Herman for the wine vineyards. Any suggestions for great antiquing???Tiff (the3steers@charter.net)
ReplyDeleteLove your centerpiece! Very "Jane"... which is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI found some daisies on sale for 2.50 for a large bunch. I have wanted some more daisies but I can't make myself pay full price for them :)
So pretty! I love the bottles! Great finds!

ReplyDeleteI am SOOOOO jealous, 80 degrees are you kidding me?!!! We still have snow...grrr. But I loved the bottles with flowers, it is something worth trying at my house, if spring ever were to arrive!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! They look so pretty with your flowers.You took great shots... they could be in a magazine.
ReplyDeleteGreat find Jane and your flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,

Great idea for the bottles, Jane! I love the way the sun comes through them, too. Every little bit helps, even flowers from the grocery; I've been eyeing some when I pop in for a few grocery items myself. I'm hoping we are over most of the Winter here ~ "they" say 67 for us today!
ReplyDeleteThey look great Jane! Enjoy the nice weather, should be 75 in Philly today:@)
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the BEST thrift store scores I've seen! Probably it's the numbers on them that got me. :) They look beautiful grouped all together like that. Enjoy the warmer weather...it's about time and it's supposed to be gorgeous here again today too!
ReplyDeleteCute!! Love the bottles and flowers. The sun shining through them is so pretty. I am ready for some flowers also. Thanks for joining JFF this week.
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
very pretty Jane! and VERY cool bottles!! My in-laws live in Missouri....I bet my master gardener mother-in-law is loving that weather!! You are lucky lucky!!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend ~

ReplyDeletejana
What a wonderful find and with a few bright flowers make a beautiful centerpiece for your table.
ReplyDeleteI love it Jane! It looks great! I recently bought a cheerful spring bouquet at the flower store and separated them so I could put them in my vintage bottles scattered throughout my house. It is like bringing the sunshine into the house.
ReplyDelete~ Tracy
I Love those bottle as flower vases, we all need a touch of spring after this long cold & very white winter..... Welcome Spring
ReplyDeleteCheryl
What a pretty centerpiece! I miss having fresh flowers around ~ I was spoiled by my family and friends! A fresh bouquet is on the top of my list for grocery shopping this week!!
