Call me way too cheap; but sometimes I find the prettiest vases are the ones that come for free straight from my fridge, just before they hit the recycling bin. Plus they are a great way to take flowers to the neighbors or a party and not worry you aren't going to get you vase back.
This is a pickle relish jar, or piccalilly as we also like to call it. Is that just a midwest thing?
Is it relish or piccalilly? And on the subject of relish.. sweet or dill?
These are jelly, salsa, and my favorite; a vintage milk bottle. I am using them to root my coleus cuttings.
I love that coleus roots easily in water.
I love this petite dairy bottle. It is near and dear to my heart because it's from a long gone place in the town I was a firefighter in. When I came across it for $5 I knew I had to have it.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I love the idea of using the coleus cuttings. I've been saving a set of the Starbucks mocha bottles. And I already have the terrarium! Thank you for the inspiration!
