and now for something entirely new

 Our sweet mentor girls ("mentees") gave each of us individual gifts that showed they had 
gotten to know us. Part of that was because they were in each of our homes more than once
 over the two years and learned our styles. In my gift bag was this interesting item. At first I
 thought it was a decoration for my non-existent pony tail, or a bracelet.  
It's a little jacket for a vase. I first tried it on a mason jar as I use them so much for flowers now. 
It appears to be reversible. They knew I love denim, lace, and blue! 
I think I like it better on a real vase. It's pretty cute. 
What do you think? Have you ever seen one before?

  1. This is something new to me Dotsie but I think it's cute. It would be sweet on a mason jar especially if made of denim or burlap or gingham. What a thoughtful gesture.

  2. This is entirely new to me, too. It IS very cute. Beautiful flowers, too. My peonies are just tiny little buds so far. I looked at the pictures of my garden from two years ago today and was amazed how much more was in bloom than this year.

  5. A thoughtful gift, and I wouldn't have known what it was either.
    Ha ha, our peonies are still spikes poking out of the ground. :-)

  9. How cute!

    I think it will look cute on either the ball jars or a real vase.

  10. I like it better on the vase too, but its pretty nifty. I've never seen one before. Think of the fabric possibilities. Possible misspells here. I'm slipping!

    What a sweet, thoughtful gift! Never seen one before. '
    You refer to the group regularly. I'll have to go back and see if I can find more about it. A wonderful blessing for the girls, and the mentors, too, I suspect!

  14. Dotsie, I think this is darling and ever so thoughtful of your "mentee." I've never seen one, but I love it! I, too, like to use mason jars for fresh flowers (your peonies are lovely). I just left a comment on your previous post about this wonderful mentoring group that you're a part of. Enjoy your little vase "decor." :)

    Hugs,

    Denise

  15. I've not seen one before but it is pretty darn cute. Anything to dress up a plain vase or jar is perfect. Best wishes, Tammy

  16. Something new indeed. I've never seen one of these before. I too like it best on the vase. Very clever.

  17. It's new to me and looks cute either way. Even if it was around a short, shallow bowl filled with blooms! Very sweet idea!
