Hey everyone! How is your week going? Mine has been relatively quiet. While I was cleaning I found my Grandma’s crystal vintage salt and pepper shakers. Then it hit me-why don’t I make Vintage Salt and Pepper Vases
Believe it or not, I needed to give my vintage crystal salt and pepper shakers a good cleaning. I don’t think they have been used since Christmas about five years ago. OR even before we moved into this condo. Either way, they needed to be clean. Especially if I was going to place real flowers in them.
I could hardly wait to buy some flowers. I went to the super market for the best deal. They always have a bucket full of marked down flowers (I love when that happens, don’t you?)
I found some pretty daisy mums for just a few dollars. They are just the right size for my “vases”.
Using my thrifted silver tray was a beautiful addition for this vignette and my Vintage Salt and Pepper Vases The patina on the tray was the optimal way to highlight the salt and pepper shakers.
I love this innovative way to use my vintage pieces form my grandmas. I can hear her say, “Oh, what do you know? I really like that sugar pie.”
As you know, I like to create or re-create something out of what I already have. Having something like Vintage Salt and Pepper Shaker Vases is not only beautiful, but a great reminder of past family gatherings and wonderful memories. AND a charming centerpiece any time of year.
So what do you think? Are you going to look through your cupboards? Maybe you can make your own Vintage Salt and Pepper Shaker Vases, too. If you do, please share a picture with me. I would love to see your creativity.
This post is part of the Thrifty Style Team. We come together on the 2nd Wednesday of every month to show our own thrifty idea for home and family. Have fun and be inspired by their creativity below…

I love this repurpose. So creative and now I will be looking for my own collection!
This is so lovely. I especially like the little vases on the silver tray. I will be rethinking salt and pepper shakers when I go thrifting. Pinned.
I love this idea so much! The flowers look so pretty and I love the patina on that tray!
You make decorating thrifty look easy. I struggle, sometimes my attempts look like I took a piece of junk and it still looks like a piece of junk. You on the other hand, take something and it looks excellent.
Love this idea Meegan, and I love that you’re using something from your Grandmother. Using family pieces makes a display like yours so special.
This is really genius and something I’ve never seen before! I went through a stage where I purchased these at thrift shops to store my glitter (back when all I did was scrapbook). Now I can use them again!
Yes we are going to look through the cupboards! We have grandma and great-grandma’s crystal shakers and never use them. This is a great way to repurpose and bring them out of the dark!
Well aren’t you fancy! I see lonely salt and pepper shakers at the thrift store all the time and now I’ll have a reason to bring them home!
