Here is another nifty container that could be used for lots of things. I particularly like the front pattern on this. The price on this is $39.00

This is an old acrylic trash can,  but could be used for lots of different things. (magazines, flowers, toilet paper, umbrellas, punch bowl or?) The price is $14.00.

These are a pair of wheels off a wheelchair. They make really great wall art.

Thought it would be fun to put up all this acrylic stuff together. We love this look…..kind of a retro glam look. Since it is clear visually it doesn’t take up alot of space, but it still packs a punch. Plus the items that are containers can be changed just by what they “contain”.  Many of these would make a wonderful buffet set up….like for a wedding!? What do you think?

Because they are clear some are hard to get a good pic of. so hope you can see them.

These are wonderful old acrylic columns from a home in Highland Park in Dallas. They are quite unusual, but like I said not easy to photograph.

The top pic  is 4 graduated boxes with lids.

This bottom one is hard to see, but it is an acrylic shelf holding all those items. The back is about 7″-8″ high and the lip on the front is about 2″ high. It is hanging on the wall.

The top piece is an old trash can. (great for holding TP in the bathroom.

I’m not sure what the bottom piece was for, but it would make a great vase. It’s close to the same size as the trash can. I love the front on it.

These are both large acrylic shells. Aren’t they neat?

This, of course, is the same lamp….just a little different angle. Now, this lamp is glass not acrylic. It just looked like it should go with these pics.

I will add these items to our “check it out” category and list the prices. I’m not going to get to it tonight, tho. It’s getting late and I have blogs to read!

BTW, check out Mindy’s blog. She’s celebrating her 100th post. Way to go, Mindy!!

P.S. Once again you should be able to comment. Sorry we are sooo much trouble!!

Family has gone and now I must get back to work! I love being around all my grandchildren, BUT I can’t say I manage to get a whole lot accomplished. Does anyone else have that problem or am I just inefficient? Life is short, tho, and I hate missing these precious yrs,, so most the time they win out over business!

How can you deny these sweet little faces?

And this is only 2 of them!!

beautiful, huh?

This is what it looked like at my house yesterday. Lots of ice, but, fortunately the streets were too warm to freeze over.

We have some great old acrylic items I will try to get up by tomorrow. Will try to get back to business here. I’m really not trying to run a “grandma” post.

Here’s to all we have to look forward to in the new year…..

•    the fun we haven’t had yet
•    the new friends we will meet
•    the lessons we will learn
•    the special times with our family
•    the resolutions we aren’t making
•    the tears rolling down our cheeks laughter we will have
•    the hugs and kisses from those we love
•    the treasures we have yet to find
•    the design ideas still lurking in our heads
•    the blogs we have yet to read
•    the old friends who help make our life special
•    the chocolate waiting to be tasted

Let’s skid into 2009 expecting great things and skid out knowing we found them!

 Thanks to all who made 2008 special for us!

Have a great New Year!
