Free To Me Kinda

I thought I'd share a couple of "free" vases I have around here, as well as, create some matte photos...

These aren't really vases, of course.  The pitcher on the right is a Mikasa lead crystal (if I remember correctly) pitcher that I gave my mother for a gift several years ago (the matching biscuit container is mysteriously missing).  Yep, another moving acquisition.

I {heart} it with white roses, swoon. 

The container on the left is supposed to look like an antique apothecary bottle of some sort.  It's a French chocolate image from the Graphics Fairy.  Now, it's not the fault of your monitor, or my substandard photography skills, the label is, indeed, blurry.  I had just mod podged it on a used vanilla bottle and was putting water in it.

Carefully.  Carefully.  Aack!  The water ran down the side and now it really looks like an antique.  Disclaimer, I did steal borrow this idea from another blogger--sorry, I don't remember who!  A great way to repurpose interesting used bottles!

I'm hanging with my friends:
