Watermelon Vase
Who would have thought a watermelon rind could make such a
pretty vase?
I was outside watering the garden and when I came in I noticed Hubby had cut up the watermelon that was sitting on the island.
In the sink sat the hollowed out rind, waiting to go to the compost bin.
I have no idea why, but I immediately thought that it would look beautiful filled
with flowers and put outside on my old chippy table.
Back outside I went to cut some flowers. I haven’t a clue what these are called they just appeared this year out in the field.
They grow low to the ground and come in the most beautiful shades of lavender and hot pink.
All I had to do was add water the the rind and stick the flowers in.
I think it makes for a fun, colorful, summer centerpiece.
Really a great idea Dawn, love the flowers too!
Pretty ! I like your Friday B/W pic too…
I love the way your mind works! That is just darn cute!
Very cute idea, Dawn. Love the pics.
Cute!
That’s my kind of vase.
I love your use of whatever
you have on hand.
Terrific idea! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Dawn! Oh, you are truly the most creative one! This looks so sweet and what a great idea. Hope you’ve had a great weekend.
be a sweetie,

Perfect for summer decorating too. I happen to love the table it is sitting on as well.
Very cute! And I love that chippy table!

So pretty! It’s a good way to use an empty rind.
Beautiful unless you have raccoon.
Oh how cool Dawn! How pretty too. I am pinning this gorgeous and clever idea!
Love that, Dawn! Simply beautiful, and I love the smell of cut watermelon.
Very pretty Dawn!
So pretty! Good eye!
I think the flowers are called Crownvetch. Can be invasive.
The idea is great and the pics…spectacular! I think the comment above is right. The flowers look like crownvetch…super invasive at my old home but held in the hillside well.
I also have these flowers and in 2 years have taken over the beds they were planted in. Only keep these flowers if they are where you don’t care if they take over. They are pretty and remind me of clover.
