Those last ones are so cute!!

I like these two alot. which do I get? I like the first better but I dont like how it has room for only one flower

amazon

 

[ChrissyM]

gg i like them both but would go with the second because i like that you can put more than one flower in it...

though the first is nice as well

Little birdy vase:

Caterpillar Vase:

^i like the caterpillar

quirky and kind of sweet because of the color..
looks a bit like a child's toy or something..
and putting little sprigs of flowers like that (nothing too elegant) looks just right i think..
i could see little daisies in each of the spaces

i like that those hanging vases look like eggplants (to me anyway ) because of that shade of purple

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

they look black on my computer!
glad you like them

 

[ChrissyM]

maybe it's the angle i'm looking at them

or those more transparent parts look more purple-y to me..

either way, i think they've got an eggplant sort of shape

Waterproof Vase by Qubus

Beautifully Broken Vase by Jason Miller **my favorite. Jason takes and broken glass vase and puts it back together using colored epoxy. The beautiful and fragile lines of the crack are then celebrated in the final product.
