Fabulous Vintage flower holder and Valentines
Nothing better than flowers to break the winter doldrums. I got several bunches of flowers on clearance at Wal-Mart, then just created a casual arrangement in my new vintage bottle carrier! I put some milk glass glasses in (they fit perfectly!), filled them with some water, and in went the flowers.
You can get some bouquets of clearance flowers at Wal-mart for about $2/ bouquet.
This is now the second vintage milk bottle carrier that I own. This one has 6 openings, my other has 8. I usually put mason jars in the one that carries 8.
And here are some of my Valentine's cards I made using pieces of vintage Valentine's. I think that this one turned out very sweet!

Vintage Valentines
So you love vintage valentines, but don't have any of your own? What to do? Here is a site with free graphics, The Graphics Fairy. She has posted this old postcard from 1908. So cute!
I know that it says Birthday Greetings on the card, but you could print it off, and print your own banner and glue it over the Birthday greeting, or photo shop the Birthday greeting out. The colors are perfect! I think I'll give it a try this week! A Valentine's makeover on a Birthday card...anyone else game?

Repurposing Vintage Graters
If you know me, you KNOW how I love my vintage treasures. I'm just a vintage-lovin' gal! So, when I was doing a little blog browsing, I came across Amy at the Lemon Cottage. I just adore what she has done with these vintage graters. So stinking cute!
So, if you have any you want to throw out, just let me know! I'll come rescue them from you!
I am now going to be on a quest to find some of these. I think the flowers look lovely as well.....could be that I'm getting ready for winter to come to a close!!
So, if you have any you want to throw out, just let me know! I'll come rescue them from you!
