Lucky you having flowers to enjoy. Not many around here. I never saw anything like those things you shared. So unusual and something I would keep.

I have never seen anything like them. They are beautiful and I suppose smell wonderful too.

We are expecting a few more inches of snow tonight. The flowers are still hiding their heads.

Hi LD, they are adorable. I must admit, my first thought was salt and pepper as well. I never would have guessed what they had hidden. Have a beautiful day.

Hi Diane,
Oh those little vial keepers are darling and have such charming details. They look perfect topping your desk with your other wonderful treasures.
Love the dogwood pic and makes me inspired to paint a few.

Thank you for the kind comment on my kitchen redo. I am pooped and so glad to be done.

What a wonderful find, so unusual, I know I never would have been able to resist them. I adore wooden artifacts from other countries, they have such a charm about them.
