I saw this beauty while perusing the ‘aisles’ of my favourite online 'store' Gumtree (people sell things they no longer want a bit like ebay). The seller was asking $50 which I thought was a lot (I know, even though it's beautiful) for something which had no origin and was second hand (sad fact is I'm way too used to getting bargains too...) so I offered $20 instead and, happy days, my offer was accepted!What do you think? I have absolutely no idea how much these types of vases go for in the shops (I’ve never seen any) but I’m pretty sure they cost a lot more than I paid!
Now I have it home, I'm utterly and completely in love with it! :-)
Happy Thrifty Tuesday!

I love it, and I think $20 is a great price, just because it's so beautiful. I'm wanting blue and white vases like that too because I'm scheming about display shelves in my ugly kitchen. And I'm picturing blue and white bits and pieces to go on them.
ReplyDeleteI've got to get onto gumtree I think!
