Shiny Objects

What lady doesn't love things that sparkle?  Think diamonds, crystal chandeliers, and pretty glass.  I found this lovely little vintage hobnail ruffled edged vase at the thrift store last week.  It's intended for my Etsy shop (if I ever get busy listing stuff again.)  But first it's taking a break on my window sill in the kitchen.  It is so pretty when the the sun shines through it.





The ruffles are so graceful...



Now I must go do the housework I never did yesterday so I can get busy "aging" my plastic pots...

Hello Adrienne...Lovely fluted green glass vase! Just my style. I didn't know a person could sell thrifted items on Etsy. I thought that was for handcrafted items only. Tell me more about this, will you? Thanks. Hope your day has been good! Sincerely, Susan

Susan - "vintage" items (meaning over 20 years old) may be sold on Etsy. I'm researching this vase to see if it fits the definition. I understand some folks on Etsy are playing fast and loose with that definition.

Also, items that have been "repurposed" such as the jewelry boxes I re-do and turn into shabby chic items are considered "hand-made."

And, finally, live plants such as my daylilies qualify...
