Urns and Buckets

I have a thing for urns and ice buckets….especially in silver …..

urns 1

Thrift shops have yielded most of mine….

Sometimes they have pretty details….

urns 4

And I don’t care if they’re all tarnished either.

This really big one was an especially nice find….in pewter…

urns 5

I mean…seriously, is there any better container for flowers?

urn 7

Not by a longshot……..

urn 8

 

Unless you want to put them on the porch…

Then, an enamel bucket is good…..

An old, banged up, enamel bucket…..

  12. I love silver and the patina you get with it. It always adds such character.

  13. Silver buckets filled with hydrangeas? I’m in, I love the look!!

  14. I love urns and buckets too. They are great for decorating in any season. Love the pewter one. Very different.
