Voyage of Discovery

It’s amazing what you discover when you move from an overcrowded apartment into a house. The discovery of long-lost possessions, the unfortunate realization that certain items are well-and-truly just not here and a host of “I didn’t know I had that!”

For example…who would have thought that I had six identical square glass vases?


Two questions usually come to mind in those moments of discovery for me.

  1. Why on earth did I buy six identical vases?
  2. What on earth am I going to do with them?

For now, most are living on the top shelf of the pantry. But I did manage to use two.

One now holds my collection of mini-elephants that I carted home from Kenya:


(Yes, there we freely admit there’s an elephant in our living room!)

The other makes a perfect home for a perfect shopping deal:

A dozen roses on sale for $10 + a coupon in my car for $2 off any flower bouquet + one of my square glass vases = absolutely gorgeous display for $8. Love it!

    Great deal on a beautiful floral arrangement.

  2. Beautiful! My favorite rose – red. I like your square vase too. Six may not be enough. Don't you have a collection of marbles to display?

  3. I do have some marbles to display, unfortunately, I've lost them again… 🙂

  4. Honey child, I fear there's no hope for you.
