Martha Stewart 1800flowers Vases

Today I wanted to share with you my collection of Martha Stewart 1800flowers vases.  These were vases produced to go with fresh flowers when ordered from the 1800flowers website.  The Martha Stewart 1800flowers line was introduced in April 2008 and was discontinued around the end of 2010.  There were quite a few advertisements and commercials (seen below) made for the line. During this time I ordered many arrangements from 1800flowers and collected the vases.

My collection of Martha Stewart 1800flowers vases

Burnished Gold Vase - inspired by an antique Alexis gave to Martha. 
Classic Silvered Vase - inspired by a lamp (I believe) in Martha's Lily Pond home. 

Ginger Jar Vase - inspired by a similar vase from Martha's personal collection.
Fishbowl Bottle Vase - modeled after a distilling flask from a chemistry lab. 

American Ceramic Bowl - midcentury modern.
Opaline Glass Vase - silky smooth semi-translucent. 

Ceramic Woven Basket - for spring celebrations. 
Bamboo Grove Vase - inspired from an vase crafted from real bamboo. 

Skylands Celery Vase - Victorian style vase for serving celery. 
Trumpet Vase - the quintessential vase. 

Silver Julep Cup - great in a group for a centerpiece and the beverage of the same name. 

Matte Silvered Vase - minimalist with opulence.
Faux Bois Vase - false wood style used throughout Martha's Skyland home.

Ivory Cachepot - traditional vase for short stemmed flowers.
Lily Pond Thumbprint Vase - inspired from an art deco vase in Martha's Lily Pond home.

There were also a few segments on the Martha show about the 1800flowers line as well as some post about the line on Martha's blog:

I hope you enjoyed seeing my collection.  Hopefully in the future I will be able to find the remaining pieces. Take care readers!

Cleaning my NDI Arrangements

For the first time in five years I cleaned my NDI Arrangements!
They looked good before the cleaning but afterward they looked really fresh like the first day I bought them.  These three below I bought at Nordstrom in the Houston Galleria.  

Nice and fresh!  I used Design It - Silk Plant Cleaner.

This post is just a preview for this months Obsession of the Month so please check back again soon.

Sunflower Arrangement

Hello! Thanks for stopping by!

At the beginning of this month was my bf's mothers birthday! So I made her a nice arrangement using two different varieties of sunflowers from HEB and magnolia leaves from the tree outside our townhouse. I think it turned out pretty nice and she really loved it!

Cold & Rainy day...

This past week was cold and rainy. I think for most people it makes them depressed but I love this kind of weather. It makes me feel so relaxed and the city seems much more calm. I took a pic of the Hydrangea that is currently growing on my bathroom windowsill. The blooms, I think, capture the feeling of the weather.


I ordered this Hydrangea from the Martha Stewart 1800flowers collection and it came with the ivory cachepot (which is of very nice quality). I really like this variety with its variegated flowers.
