Cups and Saucers and Magnets

Yesterday I shared my $2.99 buy with you

from Goodwill. 

I love the dainty purple flowers, the fact there

were no chips....just beautiful. 

Then I got to wondering just what I could

do with such a beautiful piece. 

That is when I came up with the cool

pin cushions in cups. 

Here are a few more cool things that

can be done with cups and saucers.

I like being able to feed the birds out

of such pretty pieces however I fear

drilling into pieces like this.

I do have a glass drill bit that I picked

up several years ago for this purpose

only to never have used it yet.

I really like this design for making 

a bird feeder out of cups and saucers, 

but there again, it would require drilling.

The beaded hanger is really a neat added

addition as well as the prism on the bottom.

This is another cool way of making a feeder

out of those items, my issue with this

is when it rains, that is a lot of

cup to fill with water and it would be a 

mess if there was still seed in there.

But this is adorable!

A candle holder or sconce 

with the cup and saucer attached 

to it.

Now here is a neat simple idea.

I made one of those above feeders

about 10 yrs ago.

It hangs in the Crepe Myrtle bush

right in front of the deck.

Mine needs a good cleaning.

But check out the cool pattern I used.

But there are a couple more things 

you can do with a pretty cup and 

saucer.

The traditional candle in a cup.

Or a candle in a cup on a

candle holder stand.

Several years ago I made a 

few of these below.

  

If not using that as a candle holder 

you can always use it for serving 

cup cakes or if the saucer is big enough

you could serve cookies on it.

Party time...

check this out. You could always pile

small cookies or such in the cups

and around them.

This could also be used with candles

placed in it.

I love this below.

Now moving on to something I have 

managed to do. Been moving slow the 

last two days so I just threw these

together while sitting on the deck.

Flat glass pieces normally used in vases

and with flowers.

Scrapbook paper 

and 

magnets!

The one below is Yoda - Star Wars.

Made this for Cory, my son.

And then there is the 4th of July.

Trying to sit on the deck after dark last

night but had to come in, 

Dakota was freak'n out. He hates

fireworks. Lily on the other hand could

care less!

What are you plans for the 4th?

It will be here soon.
