This morning my mom, sister and I worked together and washed every piece of glass that I bought yesterday! I was also able to categorize all of the things I'd got, and make a total price count :)
To begin things, I took every candle holder that had a yucky candle in it and melted all of the wax out. Kinda looked lava lamp like!
The set up...a knife and boiling water.
We have a bookshelf in our basement now dedicated to the storage of glass!
I purchased a total of 53 pieces for the wedding which made every piece cost $0.30! I would most definitely call that a budget bride deal!!
Yesterday I made a stop at Hobby Lobby to pick up some candles with a 40% off coupon (great deal, by the way) and intentionally sought out vases that were similar in shape to mine. Regularly they cost $5! I had a total of 15 vases, which would have amounted to $75!
I also found those cute dessert stands yesterday too. I love them! I'm so excited to find more!
I really am enjoying finding all of the mis-matched glass for the decor. I can't wait to post about more! I am going garage saleing with my mom tomorrow and on Saturday. Hopefully we'll find more awesomely fantastic deals! (I definitely plan to milk the "I'm getting married!!" thing when I ask for less on a price!)
Golly, you're clever Chelsea :)
