Mint Julep Cup Vase

There's a particular vase that shows up in a lot of my photos. This is one of my favorite vases to use on my nightstand but I've also used it to dress up other areas of the house.



Here it is on the porch with some white daisies.



In the kitchen with some fresh cut roses from the garden.



By the nightstand.



And one of my favorite combinations when the garden is asleep - plain white roses.

Isn't it funny how an item you didn't know you were looking for becomes one of the most used items in your collection? I bought this vase at K-Mart from the Martha Stewart Line. It was on clearance for $5.

Dear Janine from beautiful Tasmania, Australia recently asked me about the vase. Although I know that Martha Stewart is no longer at K-Mart (or in Australia), I remembered coming across the vases recently in a "Southern Living" magazine article featuring Two's Company.



But I also found what appears to be the same vase for a lot less at Favor Affair.



This one is from Save On Crafts.



And Pottery Barn also sells them (with an option for engraving).

All are silver plate and are available for under $25.

Now that I have a mint julep cup vase, I can't imagine being without one! And of course, I keep my eye out for them in antique and thrift shop stores.



I also found a miniature version (not yet polished!) at an antique store for $8, which I use for smaller bouquets.
