Goodwill Score!

So, I went to the *big* Goodwill today to scout out some vases and tea light candle holders. I wasn't expecting much. Sometimes you can really strike out if you go to Goodwill with a shopping list.

So, imagine my surprise when I found 8 matching vases in a style I thought would be appropriate for the table center pieces. I also found a few other slightly different ones for using at the bridal party table or on the mantle or at the buffet table. Also, I saw these sweet little sherbet cups. I thought they'd be very cute with little tea light candles sitting in them. Plus, as an added bonus, I could use them after the reception. However, I thought: there's no way I'm going to find enough of these to make it worth my while. I was digging through the shelves, and a nice woman found me and asked: is this the style of cup you're looking for? Eeee!! It was!! Another woman joined us on the hunt and we found 15! For the photo I added a few river rocks from one of Robert's old disassembled fountains. I think for the main event, I'll go to the local craft store and look for some pretty blue glass to put in the cups.

I was pretty pleased with myself. That was a pretty productive Goodwill outing.

Now, some of my readers (yes, both of you) might be worrying that the only thing I think about is this wedding. Well, I will try and write a few different posts in the coming week just to mix it up. Stay tuned.
