Cheap and Pottery Barn
Do Not Go Together!
They have great things,
But Oh, they are overrated over-priced!
Well, I guess if you have money to burn
then you could buy there without
feeling guilty.
But
Since I am not in that group
of money burners
I have to find the cheap alternative.

| I love these "Voluminous Vases" Pottery Barn price $59-$79 So I set out to make my own Ya, make my own!  at the thrift store (DI) I used my trusty old friend Gorilla Glue And this is what I got! |
My Voluminous Vases cost me
about $2 a piece!
Oh much better.
(notice my Eiffel Tower, I found it at TJ Max)
The only thing Pottery Barn can do better
than me is
take pictures.
I really like my Vases
And they were easy to make
And CHEAP!
I like your voluminous vases so much and I LOVE the price too. Very creative and very crafty of you. Thanks for entering the Gorilla Glue giveaway. I am a new follower here!

Well those are very nifty! I agree, PB is overrated AND overpriced...and to make things worse, I think they read the blogs to get ideas on what to sell. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you could Mi4M!
Anything Pottery Barn inspired gets my attention! Your knock offs are terrific! Great job. Lisa~
ReplyDeletecute vases! you did a fab chic job! thanks for visiting me at cottage romance and leaving a comment!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Whenever we walk through places like Pottery Barn, we always find ourselves talking about all the things we can make for less.
ReplyDeleteI bet that if you'd said all your vases were from PB, no one would think any differently :)
What a nice job - at least PB gives us great ideas ;).
ReplyDeleteLove the thrifted knock-offs!
ReplyDeleteFound you through CSI Project.
I like them too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love your glass containers - they are very versatile and can be changed with the seasons! Regarding taking photographs - I use a point and shoot digital camera and don't use the flash. I change my setting to take photos in dim light. If I need more light, I bring over a lamp or spot light. And then there is Picasa which helps me enhance my photos. Picasa is a free download from Google... I think there are others, as well. Thanks for stopping by my blog, too!
ReplyDeleteJust as pretty, and what a nice price! Great find and transformation.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE these , Karie! They are adorable! You did such a great job!! I love all the adorable accessories you filed them with, too! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh yes...these are fab!! I love how thrifty you created yours! They're darling!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I really love these.. Thanks for sharing! Anna
ReplyDeleteyeah, cheap! and handmade! pride comes with that, over buying something overpriced and mass produced. i may have to try this idea when i decorate for fall this year.
ReplyDeleteThese are really wonderful. I wonder how they would be for candles? I would imagine that they would be quite good, wouldn't you? Great job!
