On this Fun Friday I’m going to re-purpose a tiny fragrance jar to use for the myriad of tiny blooms Halle brings me. Sometimes it’s a tiny flower, a tiny weed, a tiny clover or it could be a full size bloom that she’s picked with a really short stem. Regardless of exactly what it is though, it will rarely fit into a normal bud vase.
I can’t do the whole, “Thanks, Halle, I love it” and then toss it in the trash- she knows and will ask about it and it hurts her feelings. In fact, I have an autumn leaf getting crushed in my purse right now that I’d forgotten about. I love that about her.
I usually buy different fragrance oils to burn for each season and I’ve just recently used up most of my summer ones. Normally I throw the jars away but I’ve always hated to because they’re cute. Recently though I wondered if I could use them for a tiny little vase.
It was easy as pie to pop the stopper out, then I washed it and had my very own bud vase.
I thought about removing the label but decided I liked it better this way.
So, how about you? Do you have a favorite unconventional vase? A friend of mine put a bunch of summer blooms into a glass Orange Crush bottle and I loved that.
Have a Great Weekend!

First of all, that is so sweet, I had to smile! Alyssa used to do the very same thing…I used to have a tiny vase that I got as a free “gift” with ordering something…Don’t know whatever became of it…I have been cleaning and saving glass jars for months…My mother and Doug thought I was obsessed! I intend to use them for my own craft ideas (you may get a gift if I ever get around to buying the supplies I need!)…I love the idea of using olive oil bottles (some are very similar to wine bottles) and different sized bottles and jars for everything from flowers to trail mix…
Buying supplies often leaves my crafting waiting. I found a great tutorial for making lanterns out of Mason jars but I haven’t bought anything for it yet. One day…
