Christmas Vintage Glass Ball Vases

Pin It







Where to put those little sprigs and twigs I keep bringing in the house? The fresh scent of evergreens... I took the tops (the metal hanger part) off of some vintage, silver glass balls. They immediately rolled over. So I added some grain. Just a 1/2 tablespoon to each and they stood upright at attention. Then in went my fragrant clippings. The sweetest Christmas decorations. I feel a bit like a kid again.









There is so much sparkle going here when I put them in a silver dish. The lip of the dish is tarnished but the inside is polished. I kind of prefer this two tone look.









I had thought about setting them in snow or large crystalized sugar, but I'm sticking to silver and the bright light this reflects. Instant mercury glass vases for 5 cents each.

Lavender and Me

Lavender smells so fresh and clean. I picked some blossoms to put in cookies, but ended up putting them here and there. This spool of thread lives up to it's name of DUAL DUTY. It made a nice little drying vase of sorts. Mini wonders. I really should have put them in a bowl of sugar to sweeten our tea with.
