For Your Q Tips

If you haven’t already, meet: The Bud Vase. The possibilities with our bud vases are endless. Something Mary Frances hand-carved to be a vessel for diving into your surroundings, looking closer to make ordinary moments and spaces extraordinary.

Side note: this piece started as a hunk of wax, so you can imagine the challenge it was to carve it down into this rounded, symmetric, and smooth little vase! Mary Frances will always say this was the hardest piece she has ever carved.

This *Mary Frances Favorite* was imagined with special words in mind…momma always told me to have flowers! But rather than just flowers, it’s multi-use. Here are some of our clever ideas:

• Flowers to brighten your day
• Freshly sharpened colored pencils
• Your favorite chocolate covered treats
• Hair bands or Q tips on the bathroom counter
• Brightly painted Easter eggs
• Matches
• Loose change
• Little love notes
• Pens to sit pretty on your desk
• Carving tools on my messy workbench
• Collected seashells
• Cocktail picks and stirrers 
• Your grandmother's button collection

And so on. If you guys have more creative ideas, give us a shout!
