Vintage Salt and Pepper Vases

August 9, 2017 By Meegan 8 Comments

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?)

Daisy Mums for Spring Decoring

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.

    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.

    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!
