So….a couple of days turned into a week, but this wee has been eventfully, busy, annoying and long, so when the weekend came I was happy to finally be able to do my crafts and relax. :) Here they are!
First off, I made some watches for some friends!
Purple first!
Then Lime Green!
Then a blue and white one made with only glass beads (one friend is allergic to almost everything)
So fun!
Next is a steal I got from this place called Craft Warehouse. It is the BEST crafting store I have ever been to. Then have EVERYTHING but yet they are small and personable. :) LOVES!
I found this truck there.
Then I added “This and That”
Check out the detailing! Love it! It was on clearance from $100 to $20. That a steal!!
I then found these canisters there too. They were on sale, 3 for 5 dollars.
Add my Cricut and presto…
…canisters for the guest bathroom!
Next find was these!
2 for 3 dollars! Love!
Add a couple coats of paint and my Cricut again….
Can you imagine some cute guest towels wrapped up with a ribbon and one of these clipped onto them? Cute!!!
Now…here is when I need help from you all…
When I inherited stuff from my grandmother, I got china, silver and these too small vases….I have no idea where they came from, what the V and the O stand for or who made them. My question is this….
I personally think they are ugly but yet I would hate you ever get rid of them since they were my grandmothers, but at the same time, I don’t want to display them in their current condition….so…
..should I redo them? I was thinking spray paint black and then do a vinyl V and O in white on them. Commemorate then, but stylishly….you know!!??
PLEASE HELP! COMMENT! I am torn…
in other news…my 2 year anniversary is tomorrow!!! Yeah baby!
Happy weekend!

Could that stand for "Vinegar" and "Olive Oil"? Hard to tell what their original purpose was from the pictures... :)
OMG! I never thought of that! It totally could be. My grandmothers name was Virginia and that is what I thought the V might be for, but the O....not sure. You are a genius! :) Thanks! So...what do you think I should do with them?
I think the whole painting them black but keeping the letters is a great idea!! You are getting rid of the ugliness but keeping the essence of the heirloom! :)
I agree that painting them and putting on new letters would be a good move! :)
i totally think its okay to re-finish them. you're keeping them and they're still sentimental, but they're not hidden in a box because you don't like them.
I came upon your blog through someone else's blog reference. I am 66 years old and yes, it stands for vinegar and oil. Before bottled salad dressing was so readily available that is how you served the dressing. I would leave them just as they are now and someday you will appreciate them more. There were some of my grandma's things that I had from her that I "updated" and now I wish I had just kept them. She has been gone many years and I appreciate the things that were hers more now than ever.
