Decorating with Urns

Happy Sunday!  

I love to find old urns at flea markets or antique fairs.  The white one below came from a tiny annual flea market at Alamo Square here in San Francisco. I paid 10 dollars for it and it weighs about 40 pounds.  I like how the glaze is worn off in places.  It sits right inside the front door.  


This is one of my favorites. 



I love the color and patina.



I would have topiaries in every room if I could keep them alive longer.  I don't seem to have a problem with orchids, but topiaries are another story.



I also like to use moss balls wherever I can.  They are available everywhere online but I pick mine up at Michaels.



I drove 70 miles each way to pick up this pair of urns.  






I placed a very small bud vase inside this urn to hold these peonies.



I put moss around the base to cover the vase and fill space.  



Have a great week!
