Last Thursday I posted about my desire to seek out treasures from yard sales, garage sales and thrift stores. Writing about these things gave me the desire to go out and start searching. I wasn't sure if any garage/yard sales were going on (and I didn't see any while I was out driving) so I headed for our local Goodwill store instead.
I wandered the aisles of the Goodwill store trying to see past what these items were and look at them in a whole new light. I struggled, greatly! I just wasn't seeing much that caught my eye- until I saw this green glass candy dish? vase? bowl? I am not sure what it's purpose was suppose to be but I could see it sitting on my mantle, giving me some color and variety up there. But I just wasn't sure. So I moved on, went to look through the books. After finding two books I went back to look at the green glass again. It was marked at 99 cents. So I decided, why not?
I had other errands to run so while driving, I thought about the green glass container I had just purchased (while still being a safe driver, I promise!). It hit me about 10 minutes later. I had a small candy dish (a snowman candy dish at that) in my bathroom that held small odds and ends. Maybe the green glass would work in there. Hmmm, it seemed that I was starting to look outside the box.
I am so proud of myself and love the green glass. On to the next adventure! Thanks for stopping and visiting me here on the hill. I hope you stop by again soon.

This is what I had before.
Once I got home I gave the green glass a good wash, dried it up and tried in in my bathroom. Here's how it looks.
I love it! It is honestly quite tall sitting on the shelf but I love the way it classes up the mirror and bathroom. Hopefully it will be safe there-- between kids, dogs and my clumsy self, it could easily be in danger. Fingers crossed!
