These are a few of my favorite things...

My favorite things for this week are my glass vases! I have collected quite a few of these over the past few years and use them for decorating year round. There are always some on my mantle with one thing or another in them, and I love that I can put different things in them to coordinate with the theme of any event for which I am decorating. I know Christmas is still a ways off, but here is what the vases will look like in a few months...


Some things that I have put in the vases so far:
  • River rocks and candles
  • Sand and candles
  • Fall Leaves (filled to the brim and spilling over is really pretty)
  • Fall Leaves and candles (don't worry, I don't burn these candles when leaves are present!)
  • Seashells
  • Advice/Family Tradition idea cards at wedding/baby showers with color-coordinated bow tied around the vase
  • Glass balls at Christmastime (my very favorite use - these are some pictures my super-talented photographer sister took at Christmastime)

I have vases like this that I too just LOVE. I bought a ton of different colored glass ornaments at garden ridge after Christmas last year & use them year round - pastels for Easter/spring, oranges for fall and of course Christmas!
