Moving along, love mint juleps and if you think they are only for the Kentucky Derby then think again! This post might just have you rethinking how many ways a mint julep can really be used.<\/p>\n

In creating and carefully curating my silver collection, I have added many styles and sizes of the almighty mint julep cup. In fact I might even think I have one of the biggest selections out there of mint juleps and it’s still growing with a few new styles on the horizon. I even created a horseshoe mint julep for the Derby, an acorn and fall leaf for fall and a Christmas wreath for the holidays!<\/p>\n

Who knows what might be added in 2019:) Because I have used mine in so many different ways thought this make a fun post to show you how versatile they really are. And in case this post gets you thinking you need a mint julep in your life, today and tomorrow all mint juleps are 20% off!<\/p>\n

Now of course it goes without saying a mint julep is perfect for a mint julep but there are so many othet ways to use this super verstaile container!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For this place setting I placed one at every table setting and added a fresh white hydrangea bloom, it was a small but extra elegant touch<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They make the best utensil holders!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And for this holiday table, added one to each place setting with a few pine cones inside…it’s those extra little details!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love using them to create individual crudites<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favorite ways to use them is as condiment holders…here I made a big snack tray and filled them with nuts, hummus, brushetta, guac, chips, etc…sky’s the limit!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another crudite platter where I used them for holders for breadsticks and olives<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They make the prettiest bud vases!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Martha Stewart shows how stylishly these work at a bar!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For this luncheon I had prepared individual crudites not only are they so pretty but they are easy to eat this way too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course to use them for which they were originally intended, for mint juleps is always a great idea:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t forget about a make up vanity\/tray,\u00a0 I use mine for makeup brushes and make up pencils<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Even potted succulents look gorgeous in mint juleps!<\/p>\n

C\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I love them for flowers, particularly on a bedside table or end table, even clustered together they look so pretty<\/p>\n
