I'm so happy to have found another use for my vintage thermos collection! Yesterday Mr. Larson scored me a dozen roses on a post-mother's-day-sale. I used a few vintage thermos' as vases. Simple and so sweet.
(sigh.... happiness!)
speaking of pretty flowers, my grandma brought me a big bouquet of peonies today (from her flower garden)...
Peonies are my favorite flower. What's yours?

Why don't I have a vintage Thermos collection? Hmmm. I love gerbera daisies, but any flower will make me happy!

I have that same Holiday thermos! My husband found it for me last year at an antique store and it resides on a special shelf in my craft room. Love it!

I'm a peony girl as well. We don't seem to have farmer's market flowers or grocery store flowers that are as nice here.. they are usually just a straggly bunch of 5 or 6 anemic-looking tulips or carnations. Whenever I see lush, beautiful bunches of flowers (especially peonies), I pounce!

I love ranunculus (I don't know if there is a more common name for them in english), but I don't get them here very often... your thermos idea is lovely. I always use old ice tea bottles as vases!

Oh I love peonies too :) I almost had them as my wedding flowers, but they're too expensive here :(
I also LOVE poppies and irises. I'm mad about flowers in general though ;)

My favourite are freesias.
They smell sooooo nice!!

Oh I love peonies too - they are so big and fluffy! Like little 50's prom dresses!

I like black tulips, foxgloves, bleeding hearts and butterfly bushes.
Lovely way to use thermos, I wish I had a collection...
