w w - what to do?


When Marc and I were planning our wedding, we had every single detail mapped out. My friend Cindy (and her mom) made the beautiful flower arrangements that went on the main tables at the reception. We bought these individual bud vases to go on the other tables scattered in the other rooms at the reception... Well, my mom didn't like the idea. I did, we wanted to put daisies in those vases and they could also be taken home by our guests...

Now, over 2 years have passed since we were married and we still have around 50 of those bud vases! I tried selling them in my yard sale and tried selling them on craigslist... LOL, I even went to the local flower shops here to see if they would buy them...
No go, so guess what? I am keeping them until someone buys them, or I come up with a really crafty idea to use them!
Any suggestions?

Also, do not forget to enter my giveaway... ends this week!

  1. What if you donated them to a school for a craft project or something???

  2. either grab flowers from your yard or a couple of store bouquets and fill the vases with 1/2 flowers and take to local nursing homes and distribute. Or give to scouts/camp fire for them to do so!

  3. Check with churchs. My church asks for vases every now and then to break up the larger alter displays on Sunday. They take the bud vases with flowers to shutins. I would also check with school art departments. They might be able to use them in a project with their students.

  4. No ideas, offhand, but you might want to link this post up to Works for Me Wednesday: today is a Backwards edition, where you ask a question and readers answer it. I'm sure someone will have a great suggestion!

  5. Have you thought about donating them to a Nursing Home? Sometimes they use them to put donated flowers on the tables at meal times.

  6. I don't have a suggestion on how to sell them, but if you wanted to be rid of them you could always donate them to the activity dept. at an assisted living center or nursing home. They would make for cheery centerpieces that would be enjoyed by the residents.

  7. LOL - I had a bunch of vases from my wedding as well. I just recently broke down a gave them to the Good Will - 6 1/2 years later :)

  8. How were you posting on Craigslist? Be sure to post in the wedding section. There are always brides - such as yourself - looking for centrepiece ideas.
    I like the idea to donate to the church or nursing home.

    You could bless friends and neighbors with flowers out of your yard!
