thrifting

i was supposed to work overtime this afternoon but it got cancelled, so instead of working and making $$ i went thrifting and spent $$! i made it to 4 thrift stores and got some really great green, blue, and milk glass vases! i think i got 9 vases.... anyways, it was really exciting and got all of them for $20! I took some pics but they're on the internal memory of my camera and i cant transfer pics from internal memory for some reason, so then i took some pics on my phone but dont know how to upload them from phone to computer because i dont have a usb cord for it.... so, they're stuck! ahhh, i figured it out! i heart verizon! so here's the pics of my fab finds today! I saw a really neat picture using milk glass vases as centerpieces, and thought that by combining the tea tin centerpiece idea with the milk glass idea could look pretty neat! I'll post the pics I saw that inspired my idea at the end of the blog!

These are the milk glasses- don't know if they're authentic or not, but the bowl has a company's name stamped on the bottom so I'm thinking that's a true milk glass. In case you don't know the history behind milk vases- they were made starting in the 16th century in venice through present times, though today's are mainly reproductions of popular earlier styles, and are considered collectible items if in original forms.

Here are some sweet green vases glasses I found. The tall light green glass vase on the left was made in Italy! Garfield was enjoying sniffing all the vases even though I just washed them all!

Here's some really pretty blue glass containers. There's nothing extremely special I noticed about these, but they were pretty and if I decide to use them in the wedding will match the main color of cobalt/sapphire blue!

And I actually need to go, but I will blog about the inspiration pics later tonight!

Adios!
