Beyond the Basics - de-cluttering

Don't we all accumulate an abundance of vases over the years? One way to reclaim storage space is to get rid of some extra vases. We will probably never use them all, so let's put them to good use and de-clutter at the same time.

Of course, I first look around the house and see what kind of "arrangement" I can make with one or more vases. You can use them empty or filled with decorative stones, buttons, wine corks or any other collection to add some interest to a table or shelf.

In the case that you just want them out of the house, ask a local florist if they would like them. Or, the next time you visit a friend or get invited to a party, bring a bunch of wild flowers in a vase. It's a nicer presentation than paper wrap.
