These tiny little itty bitty vases are not vases at all.
They're frauds. Posers. Impostors.
But they're my frauds -- and I love 'em.
You guessed (because you're brilliant) that they are
bottle stoppers!
I was able to collect all 5 in just 2 trips to 1 Goodwill!
And all for less than a cup of coffee at
Starbucks....this is math you can love.

Beautiful blog, I love your tiny "fraud" vaces and of cource your whimsicle paintings. I'm a new follower, keep wowing me with artsy/thrifty goodness!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun idea! Your whole display is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your little "frauds"! You could probably sell them on Etsy and no one would realize what they were-lol You could market them as coming from some glass-blowing exotic land where everything was done in miniature...just an idea;>) Diana
ReplyDeleteLovely little vases!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is an excellent repurpose! They look lovely on your windowsill.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your new look here Lindy!! =) And those itty bitty vases aren't too shabby either. =)

Goodwill is AMAZING... if one's timing is right. Yours apparently was! Cute idea.
ReplyDeleteHow charming! And such a clever idea! I love your little vases and the paper lining the back of your bookcase as well. Very pretty!!! Regards, Sheilla
ReplyDeleteBrilliant and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my! so sweet. I love the vases and that bookshelf is adorable, too!
ReplyDeleteLindy, What a great idea! I have never seen that done before. Now I know why people buy so many stoppers. Great Post! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteYou're brilliant! What a great re-purposing. They are a perfect accompaniment to all the vintage glass in the case. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteJust hopped over from Cottage Romance, where she was sharing your wonderful headboard idea~ I love your blog! These little vases are the cutest idea...you are one creative woman! I'm looking forward to reading more...I am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindy! You continue to amaze me with your creativity. I love how the sun lights up your little vases in the window. I just wish my Goodwill had such great stuff...:)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to make a comment about your brown/white plate in the first photo. I have the same plate, but in pink/white! I think mine was an ebay purchase. I love pink/white transferware, but all your brown transferware sure looks very pretty! Where did you find your plates?
ReplyDeleteHello, I am in love with this creative post! Who would have thought to use these, yet they look as if they were made for that very purpose!
ReplyDeleteKeep the greatness coming.

I love crystal and cut glass and these are so cute...what a great way to use them. I especially like the way you put them in the window to catch the light.
ReplyDeleteHow clever is that! I love it!

ReplyDeleteLindy,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea...I found some in a box this weekend at the house...think I might just copy you:) Thanks for coming to my NTT party!
Blessings,

This is an absolutely brilliant idea!! I actually have some from bottles that my parents once had & I didn't know what to do with them, but didn't want to get rid of them because they were mom and daddy's. Now I know! YaY! Thanks for sharing your brilliance!

Oh I did not need to see this post! I already love to put plants in tiny bottles, and now I'll be on the lookout for bottle stoppers! :o)
ReplyDeleteThat was not only totally unexpected, but adorable! What a creative idea. I want some. :) What I love about it is that the stoppers take virtually no room. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteDonna
How ingenious! Nope, I wasn't smart enough to recognize them as bottle stoppers. I'm glad you were kind enough to share the source for those simple-minded folks like me. ;)

What a terrific idea! I would've never thought of that! They are just gorgeous, and I also really love your bookcase. The wallpaper is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWell, good grief...these are just precious.
ReplyDeleteI love this post.
I am your newest follower and if you'll come follow me, too, maybe we can meet in the middle and have a cup of that Starbucks...:))
Sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I'm dying to head to the Goodwill store right now to see if I can pick any of these up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI pretty much use only small vases - I like spreading the beauty throughout my home- so I making a trip to Goodwill this weekend to shop for stoppers. Thanks for the idea.
