In my rush last week at the event for Eddie Ross, I didn’t even realize that I had snapped some images on my phone. I am enamored by the various containers that I either sold to attendees or brought home. All were sourced by Outdoors Contained, who graciously did all the centerpieces, from a local church thrift shop. All the proceeds from the Rye Presbyterian Church thrift shop go to various local non-for-profits, so it made their choices even sweeter.
Decanters, tea cups, tea pots, brass vases, porcelain bowls and a glass swan, all became the perfect vessels for genteel arrangements that were a nod and a wink at our speaker, Eddie Ross, and his “Modern Mix“. 
So, the next time you find a one-off of anything, think about how it might work as a vessel for an arrangement and not necessarily what it was intended for. What’s old…is then new again!
We loved the centerpieces last week and it made us think of so many ways to use some vintage pieces in our every day lives. The fact that the creative ladies from Outdoor Contained decided to use plants was genius!
