Containers

Do you like to use containers in your designs?

Today, I am sharing a few of my favorite containers and using them in a mantel display.



This lacy container is one of my very favorites, the bouquet looks perfect with its soft pinks and greens. The container and bouquet are  from Michaels.

I tried the bouquet in both sides of the container. 




I think I like the bouquet on the left side and very close to the container.

Here's another favorite container I am including in my display.

Looks like I am stuck on lacy containers! This one has a ginger jar shape but still has the lacy look I love. The container is from Home Goods.

The small glass hurricanes on each side of the ginger jar have pebbles and green moss covered balls added. Not exactly what I have in mind.


Bet you are wondering why I have a few lilac flowers beside the ginger jar?

Here's why, I am adding a wreath to this small grouping. It took a little rearranging and some tweaking but I think I have what I am looking for.


I moved the glass hurricanes over to the left, then took the elements out of one and placed them on the mantel. I think I like this better.


Surprise but my last container isn't lacy! It's a white Fiesta vase with two green stemmed bushes added! This picture was taken before my final tweaking but worth sharing so you get the before and after effect. 


After the final tweaking, I like it even more with the natural elements resting on the mantel!


The mantel is complete, I am ready to show you all the elements together.



Thanks for stopping in to see my Containers - Judy.

  2. LOVE your lace containers!

    I have a couple of "lacy" glazed ceramic birdies that I love.....

    It was neat to see your various pics and your comments to them, making sense and trying to figure out your favorites. That was interesting.

    Well done, ma'am!

  7. It takes a very talented person to mix different elements together and create a pleasing vignette. You knocked this one "out of the park". Love it!

    You have me longing for spring now! All my favorite colors for spring bouquets. Your pierced vases are so lovely.

    Sorry I did not get over here sooner to comment.
    Have been on college visits for five days and could
    not access comment boxes from my cell phone!

    Your vignette showcasing your containers turned out perfect.

    Thanks so much for sharing!!
