Just to give you a more precise idea about HOW tiny our Silver Repoussé Vase from my previous post: {Our Wild Violets} actually is, here it is again now filled with our Rosebud Pelargonium.
You see? There is a US quarter next to this tiny silver vase.
That vase I snatched away on eBay as it actually is the KNOB of a Victorian style walking stick or parasol!
A silver repoussé rosebud knob, that was missing its stick.
See below post some examples from Christie's.
I saw right away the use for it as it was flat at the top; now bottom when used as a vase...
Mind you, these are NOT real roses but instead our Rosebud Pelargonium...
Are they not darling looking like the real thing?!
Arranged her are the Red Rosebud and the Apple Blossom Rosebud...
Outside in the sun of our balcony...
On the balcony's teak table.
Don't you love them?
Such lovely miniature rosebuds to play with!
Now on top of our Brown Jordan Chaise...
Showing the Apple Blossom Rosebuds.
Pink edges and so beautiful.
Light does affect their color just a tad...
Are these not a dream?
Time to say goodbye!
Do you have any of these Rosebud Pelargonium?

how smart are you to turn it into a tiny vase!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteThank you but that was quite obvious for me when I saw its flat top; turn it upside down and voilà. That way I finally had something for those cute Pelargonium Rosebuds as they got drowned in nearly every vase...
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteFEIN!
Einen frohen und sonnigen Pfingstsonntag wünscht dir
Elisabeth
Het ziet er veel kleiner uit dan het in werkelijk is. Grappig.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteDe werkelijkheid is KLEIN! Er ligt een quarter naast en dan weet je het wel. Die victoriaanse rozenknop geranium zijn heel fijntjes! Het is ook maar een knop van een wandelstok of parasol waarin ik ze geplaatst heb, iets kleins wat je in de handpalm houd.
Liefs,
Mariette

Yes we do have rose bud Pelargonium' s We only call them pelargonium . They are very pretty when you are in a pinch for flowers. I love your little vase.
ReplyDeleteHugs Kay
Dearest Kay,
DeleteThese are rare Victorian varieties of tiny pelargonium, not to be confused with the usual pelargonium. They do look lovely though!
Hugs,
Mariette
Mooi klassiek vaasje Mariette, altijd leuk ook voor kleine boeketjes of bloemtjes die gesneuveld zijn in de tuin.Mooie rosebud's heb je.
ReplyDeleteFijne dag,
Groeten Janny
Beste Janny,
DeleteJa, voor hele kleine tedere trosjes van bloemetjes is dit vaasje prachtig!
Het zijn geen roosjes hoor maar een zeldzame victoriaanse soort geranium die rozenknop heet.
Liefs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteWhat a smart and amazing idea to use the knob of stick / parasol as a vase. I could never come up with such idea! Those roses are beautiful. They look like real roses. Very lovely in the beautiful vase!
Very sweet repurpose. And if you hadn't told me, I would have thought the roses were real. :) Have a great week. Tammy

ReplyDeleteDearest Mariette:
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't guess your silver vase is so tiny if you don't take the picture together with the coin, this is so cute. I also love your Rosebud Pelargonium. This is such a wonderful idea. Send you a big hug and I hope you and Pieter have a great week,
Love,
Laura
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYour small silver vase is so beautiful!!!! What a clever idea to turn an old walking stick knob into a vase!!!
The rose bud pelargoniums, in both colours, are a delight to the eye and so matching with the size of the vase!
I wish you a nice week!!
Many hugs!!!
Oh my dearest Mariette ... this is fabulous repurpose of such a beautiful peace... I'm catching up on my blog visits and post reading and just knew that I would find brilliant inspiration here in your corner of blogLand. Hugs and blessings, Celia M. (HHL)
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful, dear Mariette! The rose bud pelargoniums fit this delicate, precious vase perfectly!
ReplyDeleteHugs from Rhodes :)
