I had a floral arrangement in a large jug type vase in my entry hall that I took apart a couple of years ago. I kept everything, but just stored it for the time being. You can see it in the picture below. I sat it on the column to add height.
When I took it apart a couple of weeks ago, I took the florals and swished them around in a plastic bag filled with epsom salts {to knock off any dust}. I then found a pot that my daughter had given me and I had the foam to put inside it. I didn’t want a tall arrangement again, so I did quite a bit of clipping.
I put the hydrangeas all around the outside and used their leaves to hang over the rim a little bit. I then put the ranunculus and roses in the middle portion. I really love it and what makes me even happier is that I just reused what I already had.
I think this would take me right through the Summer months, too!

Very pretty Kathy! I'd never heard of the epsom salt tip~ I'll be using that one!
I love repurposing old floral arrangements to create new ones. Yours looks great Kathy!

It is always great when you you can reuse something you already had in a different way.
It looks very pretty, Kathy! I'll have to remember your cleaning tip!

It's beautiful and looks so current! I just reused some red tulips that I got from Pottery Barn years ago.... I shortened the stems and stuck them in a jar... Not nearly as pretty as yours though. :)
Hi Kathy! Oh, your new old flowers made a lovely floral arrangement! Looks totally different. I do these kinds of things too and now you're making me want to take apart some of my old ones.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Reuse and repurpose at it's best! Love the smaller more casual arrangement.
Wow! Those flowers sure looks pretty and lovely! I adore them!
Your "new" arrangement is so pretty and I like how you used what you had stored. I may even like the after better than the before, but of course, I understand the height in the before as the ceiling is very tall. I love to visit your site.
It looks so nice, Kathy. Thanks for the epsom salt tip. I enjoyed another peek of your former home, too.
