Flea Market Finds

Last week I op-shopped with purpose. I wanted to make a housewarming present for a friend and a "it-has- been-too-long-since-we-have-seen-each-other" gift for another friend. So I set off on a mission to collect some glassware with coloured glass at the top of my list. Here is a sampling of what I unearthed ...

Once the layers of dust have been washed away they are really very pretty - gotta love shiny! And here is what they became ...

This candlestick will be going to a beachside abode so I wanted to use bright, summery colours to fit the location.

The next one will be going to a friend with a very eclectic sense of style - she loves colour - so I wanted to use a good variety of shapes and colours in this candlestick.

It ended up a little crooked because the lovely blue thingy at the bottom was not level - a fact that escaped me until it was too late!

Never mind, I am going with the idea that being slightly lopsided just adds to its' quirky charm!
