Today I am loving this unique and whimsical little root vase handmade by Lizette Greco! This pretty root (handmade out of recycled fabrics and stuffing with an inserted jam jar to hold flowers or plants) resembles a mandrake, a root belonging to the nightshade family, which is thought to take a similar form to that of a human. There is a great amount of folklore, history and literature surrounding the mandrake and more recently they have been featured in both Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Pans Labyrinth!
