What is this…? I found it in my grandmother’s closet

While digging through an old cupboard, I found delicate glass tubes—thin, colorful, each with a tiny hook. At first, I mistook them for quirky trinkets, until a relative revealed their true identity: miniature vases once worn in jacket pockets.

A single flower tucked into these vessels wasn’t just stylish—it was meaningful. Every bloom sent a message, a quiet nod to elegance and care. Though fashion has moved on, these tiny relics whisper of a time when beauty lived in small gestures. Now perched on my shelf, they urge me to bring back a little poetry—one flower, one quiet moment at a time.
