{excited jumping up and down}
How cute is that?! Today I remembered to fish out our meager Valentine's Day decorations so that when my daughter came home from school we could try our best to make the house look a little more festive. As we were putting the re-positionable plastic decals on the living room windows - available at any dollar store for about a dollar for a sheet of around six designs - I had an idea. If these things stick to the windows, why not stick them all over the vases, jars and other clear glass containers I have on the mantle?
I'm sure someone else out there has already thought of this, I'm sure they've made it look much better than I have too. I'm so excited I don't really care because it worked and look what I managed to create...
I think they look fabulous and my mind is racing as I think of all the possibilities. Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Canada Day, Mother's Day, Spring, Summer, Birthday Party. I bet there are tons and tons of "occasions" to put this cheap and cheerful idea to good use. The best part? When I'm tired of it all I have to do is peel them off and put them in a box until next year. No gooey residue, no storing boxes and boxes of themed "stuff" in the basement never to be seen again. Second best part? I already had the glassware and the decals were a total of maybe $1.25. That truly is almost free! Now, if these are great on vases and such, what else could they be used for? I'm thinking clear glass plates arranged on a wall would be a fabulous idea. How many other uses could there be?

Those are some great looking decals, and I love the way that they gave your glassware such a chic boutique look! Sometimes the simplest ideas are really the best and most brilliant! Both your recipe and craft posts are so appreciated at Rook No. 17!
