THGGM and I had a great time on his vacation. We were busy. Jonge and Famke had fun 'working' with Pake. Of course, we also found time to thrift/antique shop. See those ladies above? They were something Avon sold in 1983. I remember these as my mom sold Avon. She did not, however, have these. I found them in a thrift store in a plastic bag for next to nothing. THGGM rolled his eyes, I am sure. Especially when I tried to convince him that they would make great finger puppets. He did not, I repeat, DID NOT enjoy the show.
Then, over the weekend I found this pretty glass votive for fifty cents. There were two.
I held them in my hands, and THIS came to me! Would my ladies fit over them? Once home I quickly tried it out. Yes! They fit.
Then I remembered my stash of vintage hankies I still haven't found where I put them, but there were a few stragglers in my dresser.
I even found four other votive that I had recently replaced.
Now whether or not I actually display these somewhere remains to be seen. But I had a great amount of fun putting them together!
Seriously. I cannot be left alone.
So, what's new with you? Please tell me.

Wow, what a great find! I love what you did with the hankerchiefs, sooo cute.
What a mind you have!
I mean that in a good way.:0)
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
I like, I like, I like.
Incurable.
I love everything you do. Those are wonderful.
It's an amazing gift you have...to see something in nothing...you're so creative.
Oh wow! You have the best ideas! Those are gorgeous.
How did you like Julie and Julia? I loved it and even thinking about it all these months later it still inspires me to cook! (And needing all the inspiration I can get in that area, that's a great thing.) Blessings, Debra
just adorable! And just what I could have used when looking to prop up Snowwhite for my granddaughter's birthday party. I actually think I have one of those in a drawer! I ended up using a short canning jar. Definitely display them!
