Urns and Buckets

June 12, 2013 By 14 Comments

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…..

cut hydrangeas 2

 

An old, banged up, enamel bucket…..

Yup…urns and buckets…can’t go wrong……

    I’m green with envy, I tell you! YOur hydrangeas are so beautiful.
    I love silver urns, too. (I painted one last year and now regret it.)

    So beautiful! I love the photo with the hydrangea and the grain sack. Lovely. I agree – nothing wrong with a little tarnish. x

    No you cannot go wrong with urns and buckets and you’ve reminded me I have a fabulous one under my deck! The hydrangeas are gorgeous! Did you see the urn Tina did with the moss in it? So pretty as well!

    I LOVE urns – and don’t one one of them – I also love cloches and don’t own one of them either!!!
    They’re gorgeous Lorraine – and so are your hydrangeas!!!

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

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