Beatiful Flowers Deserve A Beautiful Vase
I’ve been shopping for a perfect little gift for some friends of mine who recently moved into a new home and announced their much awaited engagement. They are both hip and stylish and artsy.

Nothing short of spectacular! Modern in shape and design with a definite retro feel at the same time. The patterns in the dots are based on antique botanical prints and vintage fabrics. The effect is truly magical! The vase is almost a foot tall and six inches wide. The bottom is well weighted so the vase can easily support even the largest and tallest bouguets.
Best of all – it’s only $49.95 at Isabella Catalog. They’ve got a great selection of unusual art glass and wonderful, inspirational, artistic gifts perfect for weddings, engagements, housewarmings and just about any gifting occassion.
