$5.99...for the whole box.
Yum!
Did you see what I did with three of them in my "What Can You Do with 4 Egg Cups?" post?

Now, what to do with the rest of them?
On a whim, I found a simple...very simple {my favorite!}...project. Enter...the cloche. What doesn't look good under a cloche? Perched on a column base and nestled up to a vintage wooden float (that big cannon ball shaped thing), it makes for a textural display.

Did you see my new bench, too? A TJMaxx find. Love the shapely legs! It is the perfect size for fitting under the antique folding table I use behind the sofa.

Any great deals you've found lately? Leave us all a note so all of us thrifty nesters can express our jealousy and celebrate your bargains with you!


P.S. A bloggy hug goes out to my friend and #1 commenter at WhisperWood Cottage...Deb@Talking Trash! She featured me in her blog post today. Why? It has to do with this blog button at the left. The honor is all mine, Deb! Check out my sassy friend!





Wow, what a find. I loved the display with your egg cups and of course you know that I would really love the cloche. That is just wonderful. I love the display. Hope to see you at the cloche party on the 19th. Hugs, Marty

ReplyDeleteI am loving that bench. In addition to the grapevine balls of course!
ReplyDeleteVery nice bench. The grapevines were a steal! Great deal.

*gasp* what a great deal!!! I love the display!
ReplyDeleteI've been lurking for a little while, enjoying your lovely blog. I stopped at a big box store for something else and remembered to check the mis-tint paint section as I left. I was just realizing yesterday I'd like to paint a room one of those aqua/celadon colors of old pottery that I love so much! One gallon of minty blue green interior paint for $5.00! With a rebate for $5.00! So, so happy.

Man, Amy, what a find. I love those grapevine balls! And what you've done with them!
ReplyDeleteEvery visit here is a pleasure. Your photographs are such a delight.
Those are awesome! And your blog looks fabulous, did you redesign recently? Love it!
ReplyDeletewhat a good deal. I have been snowed in the last week here in MD, but a couple of weeks ago I got a crib spring for free, yes free. I love those kind of deals. It's hanging on my wall as a memo board. Oh yea I was at a tool auction 2 weeks ago and got a pink tole tray for 1$, there was only guys there none of them was going to buy a pink tray.
ReplyDeleteOh yea if you want a real good deal, I'll be doing a giveaway on my 100th post, lots of free stuff.

I love what you did with the rest of your grapevine balls. That table looks great.
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking about your Amish DR table. :)
Happy Valentines.

Love your style!! Such great taste in textures, colors and placement. I will be following along with SYTYCD and voting for you! ;) Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment. I fell in love with those little crystal s&p shakers in the store...one of my favorites. I love my glass cherries too...just wish I still had more of them. I found those in a very cute boutique years ago that has since gone out of buisness....if I ever come across them again I am buying more! lol Have a wonderful weekend and a Very Happy Valentines Day to you!!
ReplyDeleteHugs and love,
Victoria
Amy, Love those grapevine spheres! Especially under the cloche.... Haven't been by lately due to the hub's health issues, but am getting a break now that he is doing better- so I'm off visiting favs. Happy Valentines Day to you.
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
What a great idea!! Love your new use for them :)
ReplyDeleteI love looking at ANYTHING you do. The woodsy tones and textures, the sheen from the bit of glass, the rustic nature of the surroundings, it all speaks to me. I smile everytime I visit. :)
ReplyDeleteNow, go mess up just ONCE so I have half a shot at that contest thing!! ;) xo
Thanks for linking up to SNS!
