I got some fun stuff!
See...
I had plans for the little candlestick but I can't find my cheese dome. Wanna see what I had planned?
This was from Thrift Decor Chick. She is amazing.
Since I couldn't find my cheese dome due to my problems with organizing, most people would use this opportunity to organize the cabinets so one could actually find things. But that is not fun to me so instead I went on with another project. I am sure none of you would have guessed that.
So I painted the tall candle stick.
Then I distressed it.
Then I glued the dome/vase thingy on top.
This morning I found a place for it!
Yes I do realize the medium size jar has fake snow in it. But I can't figure out what to put in it.
Easiest project I have done in a long time!
It only cost me $4!
The glass vase was $1.99 and the Candle stick was $1.99!
But the best part was that no saw required for this one!

Love it Katie! Your creativity knows no bounds. Hope you find that dome cause I love what TDC did with hers. Hey, how about coffee beans/grounds for that medium sized jar? Just a thought.

Found you on Skip to My Lou and I love your blog title, I can relate. Love the Goodwill and love what you did. Good job!
I love this!! so cute! Come link it up at my party http://iheartnaptime.blogspot.com/2010/04/sundae-scoop-link-party.html
Very cute! I have a cheese dome project waiting to be done, too!
Yay for a fellow Goodwill girl! What a great idea!
May I ask what kind of glue you used?
Thanks for the decorating tip. i am glad to have found you through my first blog party!
This is awesome! Don't you just love goodwill finds? I do! Great job :)

That looks great!
Don't ya just love GW? Be blessed. Cindy
That looks so good! Goodwill is such a fun store and you can't beat the prices.
Very nice! I really like what you did with the paint job on the candlestick! Good distressing job! I would have never thought of adding that glass dome to the candlestick and glueing it that way, it's a great idea! Looks good!
Nice job! Dropping by from BNOTP.
Clever idea that turned out very nice. Good job!
Wow! That looks great! Linda (p.s. I'm trying to copy the one TDC made, too, but I think yours is awfully cute!)
I really like your version! And I love your blog title/header, too. I'm a new follower and I'd love for you to come visit me at sceneofthegrime.blogspot.com
Oops, forgot to mention...my boys hate to go to Gwill w/me - what's the problem here? My little girl likes to go, must be a gender thing. Glad you got to go on your own!
Love them !
Kammy
Great finds! I would have grabbed them too:)
Beautiful post thanks for sharing. You have a wonderful blog and I am a new follower. Hope you have a chance to come say hi at my blog. Cheers, Lia
It's great! I love how it turned out!

That is simple and beautiful! Great job! I would be so honored if you'd add a link back to Toot Your Horn Tuesday into your post. You're friends might like to play along as well!
Now I'm going back to read about what happened with the "incident" :) Have a good week!
Great job and cute project!
Looks great! I would not have guessed that was snow, it looks almost like salt, haha! I am so bad at losing my Goodwill purchases too...
I saw the same cloche/cheese domes at TDC a week or so ago. I remember wondering how she found those at her Goodwill and then I found two today! Just posted my finds over at my blog, I had such a good-Goodwill day!
Visiting from Toot Your Horn Tuesday!
I love the shape and size of the dome/candlestick creation!
Perfect! Hello..I am visiting from Hope Studios Tutorial Tuesday. I really enjoyed your Tute! Have a lovely week...;-)

$4 is the best part! Love it, Goodwill has the most amazing finds!
fantastic!
Good job getting inspired then figuring out how to do it!
They fit together perfectly!

i would have never know that was fake snow, i thought it was sugar, your project looks great.
I think it looks FABULOUS! Great find and great transformation.
Have a good week!
I wish my goodwill store had such treasures!
I think the vase you made would look great in India's house! It's that good. Thanks for stopping by to see us. --Jane F.
i just scored some good thrift store finds, finally! i mean really. finally. good for you and great pricing!
thanks so much for your comment (hope my plants all grow in) and for stopping by the cape on the corner!
This is great. I love Goodwill!
I would love it if you joined my "Saturday is Crafty Day" party starting on April 24th! Stop by my blog for details.
Very cute! I'm going to have to hit up our Goodwill store tomorrow! haha!
Super cool. I've seen a few of these around and I keep asking (with no reply), how do you glue glass onto wood? Hot glue? Or is there some magical glue out there that I am not aware of? Your huricane/candlestick project is the bomb! Love it clustered with the two glass jars.
That is some great stuff there!~ You did a nice job painting them. I wish I had that kinda luck these days!~
Very fun! I love thrift shopping! Thanks for linking up to my party today!

That is lovely! How come my GW never has anything that nice?! Hmpf! Why don't you put sand in the medium vase? Not sure if somebody already said that?!
Jeanine
I just LOVE Goodwill! You found a few great pieces and I love your new project. It looks great. Thanks for linking up to Be Inspired today - when you get a chance please link back to the party! Thanks - Chelsea
Love it! Projects like this are great because it's instant gratification. Love the candlestick painted white.
I love that! Very creative.
ok. i am keeping my fingers crossed for something like these finds at goodwill tomorrow.
super cool transformation!
Oh that little vignette is pretty! how cute that fake snow is :)...ummm maybe put some flower petals in it just to kill time until you find something better :)
I like what you did with the candlestick and really like the grouping of 3 together! Nice job - Good luck finding your dome :-)
Stop over to Pandora's Box to enter a giveaway! patti
It looks great grouped there. I LOVE gluing glass to candlesticks... always looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing at the POPP.
I never would have thought to glue a vase on top of a candlestick! Genious! I love it!
wow.. you are so creative! simple but nice end result!
Great finds! Love how you combined them all into something very creative.
Super excellent idea. I love the size differences with them grouped together like that.

Wow! Love it! I wish I could look at items and come up with something brilliant like that. I visited Goodwill last night and was so excited to find 2 skirts and a dress jacket all for cheap. Following from Friday Follow!!

Love the project. Have been looking for some candlesticks and the only ones I find are not thrifty in any way.

That turned out so nice. You did a great job on the distressing.
Very pretty! As for the one with the snow in it, you could try a terrarium. I've been collecting some glass jars from Goodwill and am planning to do some of those soon. Martha has some good instructions for them. I think they might be on her website. Can't remember if that's where I saw it or if it was in one of her books.
Hi :) Stopping by via Friday Follow. Hope you have a great weekend! Feel free to visit my blog sometime.

You just inspired me to hit Goodwill today. It turned out so cute!A thought on the jar; maybe you could put sand in the jar with a couple of shells on top since it's almost summer. Have a great weekend!

I put dried yellow corn in my jar. I wanted something "spring like"...so that is what I decided on. Got mine at the feed store!!
Looks fabulous! Love the white base with the green apples - Perfect!
So pretty! Instant Jar filler--old books, sheet music, etc.....--just stick 'em through a paper shredder--the cross-cut ones work best--then you have really pretty vase filler or gift packaging! Plus it gives you a good re-use of all those paperbacks in the attic or garage!
Thank you for bringing your hodgepodge to the party! Will be drawing the winners soon!

That looks so good! I love a good deal! Thanks so much for linking to Favorite Things Friday!
Thanks for linking to my Flaunt it Friday party at Chic on a Shoestring Decorating!
Cute stuff from Goodwill (after you fixed it up obviously ;) Our Goodwill is awful, hardly any housewares ever except for gross fake dusty flowers. Ha!
Hope to see you back on Friday to Flaunt it!
Very clever!
I love it and I love a fellow Goodwill Junkies Maybe you could fill the other jar with those cheap beaded necklaces you can find at goodwill or marbles, buttons, or if you hang tight the holidays will be here before you know it ha! I am so glad i found your blog! I am a new follower. If you get a chance I would love for you to peek at my blog www.thepolkadotcloset.blogspot.com
