Saved by succulents at home this morning! Moved things around in the lounge again, as you do, then I was inspired to gather some green from the garden.
Snipped some gorgeous succulents and grabbed an old victorian flow blue gravy jug (Ebay), a blue dutch delft pot (garage sale), an English Johnson jug (market) and an Italian terracotta jug (market) and they were perfect for a display of jade and other succulents ( I say other succulents because I don't know the names for the others:).
I grouped them all together and I really love the way they look. At home, I always use vintage jugs and other pieces of china in lieu of the traditional type of vases. I find I can stuff more flowers in a jug because of the generous tops of the jugs. Love them!

What do you display your flowers or foliage in?

Beautiful photos, I lake it!!!
Big kisses.
just lovely and I agree, I love to use old pitchers and jugs for flowers and fresh cuts, just lovely! and I am off to check out your link!! x
I love the way the blues and the greens complement one another.
Definitely like using jugs, teacups even old vintage tins and bottles as vases - although I seem to have amassed an inordinate number of vases this year!
Hope you're having a great day. xx
I especially noted that your containers had that gorgeous blue I love.
Fun to see how you put it all together!
They look lovely, i really like the plant in the jug its almost delicate looking. Enjoy the beauty of them Dee ;-)
These are beautiful! Besides the vase, I like displaying flowers and foliage in lovely pitchers and buckets. Have a gorgeous day, Kellie xx
The beauty of displaying cut succulents is that they don't need water in the container, and then you can plant them when they grow roots - how great is that?
Love seeing old items re-purposed. They look fab! x
It was great to see your succulents in the fabulous blue and white jugs and yes the generous tops are good.
Many thanks for visiting me and I hope that you are having a great Wednesday

Love your flower containers Pam.
I use all sorts of things also.
A favourite of mine for a tussie mussie type bunch is a big old silver teapot I've got. It always makes me smile!

I adore succulents - I think it also has something to do with the fact that I cannot kill them! I love to display my flowers and lots of Mother in Laws Tongue in old jars/vases and medicine bottles. Michelle
Hi Pam,
Yes jugs, teapots etc always look good with flowers. I love your idea of using succulants as they look so fresh and you get so many different shades of green.
