Random - what to do with extra vases?

So it's been almost a year since my surgery, and in my kitchen I have around 18 or 19 vases from the flowers that were sent during my recovery.  They are largely from the same florist.  I can see keeping maybe 4-5, but I'm not sure I really even have room for that many.  And I can't imagine that donating them would mean a sale for Goodwill, and I figure if they'd discard them I might as well.  Maybe I'll call the florist to see if they want them back.

Any other thoughts?  I'm cleaning and procrastinating so I figured it would make sense to tear myself away from dishes to ask you this :)

    OK, nevermind :)  The florist will take them back and re-use them!  Dropping them off tomorrow!

  • I'd donate them to church, nursing home, women's shelter, soup kitchens.....
  • Yeah, I always take them to my local florist.  They're happy to get them.

  • there is a florist in my area who trades 4 vases for a free bunch of flowers. the vases do not have to be from him.

    That is so cool.  I'll have to ask my local florist if they do the same.
