It's a sifter...it's a shell casing...it's a cigar box...No... it a vase!

This intricately carved cigar box makes the perfect bud vase!

An old brass shell casing holds silk flowers year round.

I have a zillion wooden spools, so I decided to make a few of them into silk flower vases.

An old flour sifter sits in my kitchen window and makes a great container for flowers.

I was originally told this was an old bed warmer. It's dated March 4, 1915. I guess it could be a canteen? Not really sure, but it does hang on the wall and is home to a few silk flowers...
