Repurposed Vintage Animal Gravy Boats as Flower Vases

I love adding quirky and fun little touches to my decor.I found  2 different creamers at the thrift store for 50 cents  a piece ,and thought they would be a cute way to brighten my windowsill with some flowers. I thought using repurposed vintage animal gravy boats as flower vases would be a really cute way to show off my colorful zinnia’s and garden flowers.

I love Zinnia’s. I seeded a patch of a miniature version  of Zinnia’s called Thumbelina’s in at the start of the summer.I am excited they are finally big enough to bring their cheerful brightness indoors! I think one of the rewards of late summer is all of the flowers we finally get to enjoy that take so long to grow during the summer months. It’s almost hard to wait so long!

I planted a mixed patch so every day there is a new  flowers that pop up. I love how the flower’s color pop against the white of the creamer in the bright sun on the windowsill.

I thought the vintage cows and the mini-zinnia’s made the perfect combination to make a cow creamer vase. Or is it a gravy boat? As a creamer it makes way more sense tom me, but it is big enough to serve gravy.

Though I swear one is a cow and the other is a pig. Do they even make pig creamers? Or maybe the other one is a shorty cow? Whatever it is it’s so cute! It almost looks like it’s wearing a floral hat. Together the white cow creamer and pig creamers (gravy boats?) make a sweet pair. I would love to find an entire collection of these!

They are so much fun,I would love to find one more animal to add to my new mini collection.
