In my last IaVoM post I used some logs as candlesticks, Cathy suggested that they could also be used as vases – Great idea!
Tiny daffs, vinca, muscari, box and ivy all in a small plastic bottle tucked into the hole in the log.
And the Amalanchier picked a couple of a weeks ago is beginning to flower, in the vase, but not outside yet.
This buddha sits in a quiet corner with all sorts of little fairies etc that the children have nestled round him and like to play with – I often overhear the fairies and animals having imaginary conversations with the buddha.
(My camera seems to be playing up so the picture is a bit blurred – first the laptop, now the camera ….. eeurgh! )
Pop over to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to see her delightful vase and all the other fascinating Vases from so many different countries.
Beautiful. 🌷 Love the log vase.

Using a log for a vase is so rustic-looking, and complements flowers so well, Sandra.

I’m not sure I would have thought of it either – it was Cathy’s brilliant suggestion – I’m looking out for more logs to suit now. Thanks for popping Donna, nice to see you!

Hurrah – well done! And did you realise how much it looked like a hand? It has worked really well 🙂 ps I like the tiniest fairies

No, I didn’t see that – it does look like a hand. If I can get hold of the right drill bit, I will be able to make the holes bigger and get and small jam jar in the branch for larger arrangements. The small fairies are metal, the little ones love to play with them.
