The tin buckets can be used as flower pots, or used anywhere for storage. Displayed on a shelf, with labels tied with twine, bulky items or clutter can be hidden inside, while the tin material adds patina and warmth to the room.

The cobalt blue glass bottles are a beautiful color and would look great on a window sill, mantle or bookshelf. They are also functional and can be used as vases with a single flower.
The glass mason jars are so versatile and can serve many functions. Use as a dining table centerpiece, in a grouping of three, filled with fresh-cut flowers, or votives for candlelight. In an office or craft room to hold paper clips, pencils, or safety pins and buttons. Or in a bathroom, holding Q-tips and cotton balls.
My Brimfield shopping partner, graphic designer, Sheila Igoe of IgoeCreative, spotted these frames. Hang them in a grouping on a wall (as is, without anything inside) to create an interesting focal point, fill them with corkboard or wire mesh to convert them to functional bulletin boards, or repurpose them and add a mirror.
