A Cute Idea and A Peek

I'm in a cute mood today.  Can you tell what this is?



How about now?



While organizing my hardware, I came across some of my crystal knobs.



I thought they would look cute as tiny crystal vases.  So, I added sprigs of pine.



They're sitting on the gauze on top of my chippy cabinet.  Don't they look like ice?



I'm almost finished with my tree.  Here's a peek.



See ya soon.

My first though was this is ice:)
Your crystal knobs do make lovely vases.

Love that idea! I couldn't figure out what they were at first because they look bigger on the screen. I thought they were ice! The sneak peek of your tree is intriguing. I bet it is pretty!

Yes, they do look like ice! From the first pic, I thought ice with sticks in it? Then I thought ice with rosemary sprigs? Then I realized they were crystal door knobs but still thought they had rosemary sprigs in them. Oh well, I was close. LOL! They look awesome on display and your tree teaser looks very beautiful and intriguing! xoxo, Leena

Rhonda said...

It's so beautiful...there are no other words. Your chippy cabinet top is gorgeous!

Lesley said...

You're a creative genius! My husband brought some of these knobs home for me. He found them on an old dresser that was not salvageable. Hmm.. maybe I will try this too. :) Thanks for sharing! *Pinning to Pinterest!*

Hi, Rosemary. I found your blog after you visited toolsforkitchens and commented on my fruit cake recipe. Your vases are ingenious and gorgeous. At first I thought you carved them out of ice (excellent photography, by the way), but now I see! Thanks for the idea.
