A Cute Idea and A Peek

I'm in a cute mood today.  Can you tell what this is?



How about now?



While organizing my hardware, I came across some of my crystal knobs.



I thought they would look cute as tiny crystal vases.  So, I added sprigs of pine.



They're sitting on the gauze on top of my chippy cabinet.  Don't they look like ice?



I'm almost finished with my tree.  Here's a peek.



See ya soon.

    My first though was this is ice:)
    Your crystal knobs do make lovely vases.
    I can hardly wait to see the rest of your tree.
    Your blog is wonderful too!!!

    Love that idea! I couldn't figure out what they were at first because they look bigger on the screen. I thought they were ice! The sneak peek of your tree is intriguing. I bet it is pretty!

    Yes, they do look like ice! From the first pic, I thought ice with sticks in it? Then I thought ice with rosemary sprigs? Then I realized they were crystal door knobs but still thought they had rosemary sprigs in them. Oh well, I was close. LOL! They look awesome on display and your tree teaser looks very beautiful and intriguing! xoxo, Leena

    You're a creative genius! My husband brought some of these knobs home for me. He found them on an old dresser that was not salvageable. Hmm.. maybe I will try this too. :) Thanks for sharing! *Pinning to Pinterest!*

    Hi, Rosemary. I found your blog after you visited toolsforkitchens and commented on my fruit cake recipe. Your vases are ingenious and gorgeous. At first I thought you carved them out of ice (excellent photography, by the way), but now I see! Thanks for the idea.
