How was your weekend? I hope it was a lovely time and a happy Mother’s Day!
Creating repurposed floral vessels is one of my favorite hobbies (if it can count as one). This set of vintage Mikasa Duplex by Ben Seibel was much too mod to be a simple serving set. A few strands of bear grass and ranunculus later, vintage salt and pepper shakers and a creamer turned into a happy floral centerpiece on my dining table. I find that repurposed salt and pepper shakers make particularly useful Ikebana-style vessels, as they naturally have an inverted “kenzan” or flower frog.
