One of the things I enjoy doing is making pretty things from ordinary ones. This idea is certainly not new, but I thought I'd share my recent creation that I love so much:
I purchased all of the materials at a recent yard sale for next-to-nothing. A little bit of E6000 transformed them into exactly what I had hoped - perfect apothecary jars for my fall mantle this year!
In case you haven't already figured it out, the bottom is a pretty candlestick. The top is an old, empty Home Interior candle jar that reminds me very much of the shape of a pumpkin (hence the fall mantle thought).
I'll try to remember to show you these in action when I change out my mantle this fall!
And if you've been trying to access my blog through the regular address in the last few weeks, it hasn't been working because I never saw the email about renewing my domain registration. (What can I say? Yahoo Mail annoys me with notifications every 30 minutes if I allow notifications. I don't see important emails if I turn off notifications. I think it's time to switch to a new email provider that isn't intent on annoying me.) It should be fixed soon, though, because I finally found the email and made the payment.
