Salt & Pepper Vases ~~ Plus

I love finding junky little things for practically nothing~~that's the thrill of getting those treasures and repurposing them~~creating a vignette that pleases the eye, mind and soul~~doesn't have to cost a bunch to make me happy.


I'm always keeping an eye out for little vintage S & P's;  sweet gathered together on a small platter.  They make wonderful little vases for the tables on the porch and pergola when cutting/trimming flowers from the garden~~


I found two of these pretty plates for $1.25 each~~loving the aqua floral.



And bought four of these vintage plates~~has all the right pinks in them for me~~


Hope you are having sunshine and lots of bargain hunting this week.  I've started some projects with my can of white paint~~hope to post them later in the week.  Hugs to all!

I'm joining these fun parties this week:

    I love all of your tiny bottles, s & p's and plates. I especially love the aqua plate! I am searching everywhere in my city for two that look like that in aqua, I will find it eventually.
    I love your little terrariums, too, they are so sweet.
    Hugs, Cindy

    What a great idea to use salt and pepper shakers for little vases. I always have wildflowers from the ranch that are too small for traditional vases. Great idea.
