Birthday Fun

I had a nice treat yesterday. My sister took me out to breakfast and then we went shopping. Did we go to Macy's? Nooo...Did we go to Nordstrom's? Noooo..... Take a guess:


A glass store? Antiquing???




Have you guessed yet?




GOODWILL!


Oh yeah!! The day was good-tons of glass to do more bottles and make cutie-pie bowls on top of candlesticks.




Then I had an AHA! Moment.
 I'm not the best at seeing something and imagining it in a different use. 
But....




Remember the hummingbird's nest?
Add a candlestick, a small plate/bowl and this-I have NO idea what it is!




Add some Easter cuteness:




I admit, I LOVE it!!!




On top of all that, I got some cool stuff from my sister!!




She made this:







and this:




I was so proud of myself, I got it hung up right away!




What do you think, Sue?




Thanks for a fun day!!

  4. I forgot....

    I think that little glass dome looks like some votive candle holders I used to sell in my shop. They sat with the rounded part hanging down inside a three legged iron holder that had a ring at the top that the glass rim rested on. They came in three heights and two different widths............
