Flowers
At The Vintage Kitchen and Garden, our goal is to bring new life to well-loved objects from the past.
There are so many ways to use vintage pieces to create a beautiful floral arrangement with garden blooms or a bouquet from the farmer's market or florist. Vintage floral vessels such as vases, planters, pitchers, baskets, and wall pockets provide a traditional way to use a treasured item to create a striking floral centerpiece. But, other kitchen and dining pieces can serve as vases too, like teapots and teacups, creamers and sugar bowls, soup tureens, and glassware and barware, to name a few. And, using fruits and vegetables from the garden - think pumpkins, gourds, apples, or pomegranates - to create vases for your floral arrangements is the ultimate sustainable way of brightening your table!
The Vintage Kitchen and Garden will offer curated floral arrangements in vintage vessels in the very near future...
