Try these interesting containers for eye- catching displays.
There’s nothing like coming in from the garden—or home from the store—with an armful of fresh blooms, but showing them off to their best advantage often requires a vase of a certain shape, height and width. You may not have that perfect crystal container, but odds are you do have a vessel that’s just right for the job. These arrangements come courtesy of an active imagination, so gather your creativity and your rosebuds, and search your cupboards for a clever container that they can call home. •
