Floral Arrangement from the Kitchen

I got this trio of cheese graters at a garage sale. (25 cents) They are super cute holding flowers. The flowers are actually in baby food jars! (I use baby food jars all of the time for different things!)
At night, I put battery operated tea lights in the base and the light shows through the little holes!

Flowers from my Dad's garden!
I just love JUNK!

I've linked this up to Becky at Beyond The Picket Fence for her first party!

    Amy - what a sweet display using the cheese graters (baby food jars are handy, aren't they??). Your flowers are so pretty!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog - so glad to "meet" you!!

    Hi!
    Thanks for stopping by Domestic Princess in Training! How cute are these flower pots/cheese graders. What a FUN idea. Oh, and of course you can copy my twine and clothespin idea. That’s what it’s there for. Let me know how it turns out if you do it.
    Hope you are having a WONDERFUL week!

    Amy - we are definitely sisers or at least cousins seperated from birth:) I love this. I used to use a cheese grater as a night light in the kitchen..but this is so much more fun :)

    I like that a lot!
    If you have any of the foil coffee bags they are water proof and could hide inside. I use them inside any thing I want to put flowers in that isn't waterproof. They are great cuz you can scrunch them to fit anywhere.
