Think outside the vase when it comes to arranging flowers. A vintage tea kettle can make a charming container to fill with garden flowers.
Happy Mother’s Day! I picked some flowers for a garden bouquet in celebration!
I’m enjoying the peonies last hurrah until next year. . . *sniff*
A vintage enamel tea kettle with a sweet spray of flowers was a $10 antique mall find recently.
It’s serving as a vase instead of serving tea, with a mix of Queen Anne’s lace, lamb’s ear, plumpago, peonies, salvia and angelonia.
And sitting pretty in a vintage lawn chair by the Potting Shed.

What a sunny project! Love it!
Peonies are my favorite too, so pretty in the tea kettle! Happy Mother’s Day😊
I love the texture of the lamb’s ears Mary! Happy Mother’s Day, give The Girls a hug for me:@)
Happy Mothers Day to you also. Love the mix of flowers with the Queen Anne’s Lace.
Happy Mother’s Day to you too Mary!!
Happy Mother’s Day, Mary! Your tea kettle arrangement is lovely!
You have such an eye for seeing the beauty in something like a chippy old kettle, I wouldn’t have given it a second glance and you have elevated it to a beauty queen! And the botanical garden towel is fantastic!! What a lovely bouquet for Mother’s Day Mary!
Happy Mother’s Day! Love the kettle you found and doesn’t it make a great “vase”!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!
Like Jenna, above, I wouldn’t have given that chipped tea kettle a second glance, but you’ve infused it with new life, Mary!! Such a beautiful bouquet!! I’m always amazed to hear YOUR peonies are nearing their end whilst mine have yet to even open. We’ll finally get some temps in the 80’s next week…first time all year!!!
Thank you for sharing your pretties with us.
SO pretty!
Happy Mother’s Day Mary! What a treasure you found in the vintage tea kettle and how precious that it has flowers on it! What a pretty bouquet! My Peonies are getting tall, but no flowers yet. We are at least 4 full weeks behind you. We can’t even put anything in the ground until AFTER Memorial Day as Mr.Frost is still hanging around. Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
I hope Chloe and Gracie are spoiling you on Mother’s Day, Mary! Your vintage tea kettle filled with your bouquet of flowers is picture perfect! I hope you have a beautiful day. ❤️
I envy you your knack for finding the perfect items for your lovely arrangements…Happy Mother’s Day to you also…
Love the picture and towel! Thank you so much for the reference to Amazon. I’ll purchase some as gifts!
Beautiful!
Happy Mother’s Day
Just the right “spot” of tea kettle !! franki
I love a mixed bouquet like this. So lovely. Your tea towel is delightful too.
You have given new life and purpose to this sweet vintage teapot. The flowers and photos are so beautiful. I am always in awe of how you look at things and what you actually see!! Your vision and artistic talents are amazing and I love seeing things through your eyes – that is one of greatest gifts you share. Thank-you for this lovely post and Happy Mother’s Day too!
Beautiful!!! Happy Mother’s Day!
Oh how beautiful to have gathered such lovely flowers from your garden and give that sweet tea kettle a chance to bring a smile to someone! Happy Mother’s Day!
I just discovered your blog while searching for decorating ideas for our new pontoon boat. Your style is lovely, and I’ll be coming back for more inspiration! Looking forward to seeing more cute blogs ;)
Happy Mother’s Day. What a lovely combination of flowers. Somehow, I think you could photograph mud pies and make them beautiful.
Beautiful!! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! 🌼🌺🌸🌹🌻❤️
Beautiful flowers in that darling tea kettle!
Peonies are my favorite fowler. I just wishesd they bloomed longer.
Beautiful country garden arrangement. The tea towel and the kettle are both so charming.
So beautiful. You have such a knack!
Mary, your tea kettle bouquet is charming. I have my MacKenzie-Childs tea pot filled with magnolia blooms from a neighbors tree. The house smells heavenly!
I wanted to let you know that the package arrived. So sweet of you, Mary! The garden gloves are darling, the seeds will be spread, and the note cards of the potting shed will be be shared when notes are written. What a thoughtful, generous gift. I feel so lucky! Many thanks!
Your decor style is breathtaking, so feminine, pretty, and colourful. Beautiful photos as well. Very glad I found your page.
Mary, you have cultivated beautiful flower gardens. So special to be able to just go outside and select all the flowers you need to create your lovely bouquets.
