I'm participating in Today's Thrifty Treasures over @ Southern Hospitality.
I found the cutest silver bucket thingy (for wine ? I think) at an area neighborhood sale this Saturday! It was toward the end of the yard sale, and this was actually still there!! Lucky-duck me!
I just love it! I think there are so many uses for it!
Like holding kitchen utensils....
...or a pretty arrangement of shells & coral....
There are lots of other ideas I've thought of, but I want to know.....
What Would YOU Use It For?!!
I bought one almost exactly like that. I have used it for flowers as a vase and a utensil holder. I painted mine black at Christmas and wrapped it in ribbon and filled it with ornaments. I love things like that that you can move and change around throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteOh mercy! I am not really a fan of shells, but that looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteStopped by via Linky at Southern Hospitality....good find.
I put a glass in mine and then fill it with flowers from the garden. If flowers aren't blooming, I use hosta leaves, and evergreens.
ReplyDeleteLove the seashells in it! Gorgeous!
Hydrangea blossoms! Oh how pretty.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE how you have showed different ways to use it. I love the shells and think using it to hold utensils would add chic to any kitchen

I love the shells... What would I do??? It would be beautiful used as a vase with a beautiful bouquet in it. I love it!!! I so would have snatched it up.
ReplyDeleteI picked up the EXACT same urn (that's what I was calling it) at GW a couple of weeks ago. I did what a previous poster suggested and tucked a drinking glass inside and filled it with flowers I purchased at Costco. To hide the glass I snipped a few fronds from one of my ferns and tucked them in around the sides. It turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI was just going to suggest another use for the "urn" that just came to my mind. There was a post somewhere in blogland a few days ago about covering an old child's ball with moss with your handy dandy glue gun and placing it in the top of the urn for a topiary type look. I think our silver urn would look fabulous filled with a mossy orb!
ReplyDeleteIt was still there because you have a gift of being able to see all of those uses!! Thank you for helping us to catch a glimpse as well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
You could roll up towels and place them in your guest bathroom.
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I love how you have used it for the coral!
ReplyDeleteLove the coral & shells, but I would definitely use it for my favorite flower - hydrangeas!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how deep it is, but I would get one of those glass hurricanes or a glass cylinder and fill with sand and add a few seashells and a white candle in it
ReplyDeleteFabulous find! I love the look of the kitchen utensils in it.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the shells, etc. I think one huge hydrangea blossom would be beautiful or a tight bundle of roses or carnations.
ReplyDeleteI like the utensil holder!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. :) I love that urn! I like the way you put the utensils in it, but I LOVE the shells. :)
ReplyDeletei love adding the shells and coral! what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love that! What great finds! jen
ReplyDeleteStacey, what a great piece that is!!! I love it too, those 2 ideas are great. You could do a floral arrangement in there too with sticks or feathers.
ReplyDeleteI love how it looks with the shells/coral coming out of it! I might pile a bunch of ribbon in it because I like to do stuff like that sometimes. :) Kelly
ReplyDeleteSuper find! And great ideas! You could have it etched to say "The Blessed Nest" and display it like a trophy!
ReplyDeleteI have one too! I like the shells in it!

I have a similar champagne bucket. This is what I did with mine:

I put a cool moss ball on top.
