Quick and Elegant Vintage Gift

Have you ever been caught in a bind and forgotten to pick up a gift
for someone?  Or, have you just not had the money in the budget for the month
to spend on a gift?

Well, let me get you to thinking about something that you can start keeping on
hand for times like these.

When you are out treasure hunting, always check out the assorted plates, saucers,
and cups.  You can almost always find very pretty ones inexpensively, because they
probably were at one time part of a bigger set.  Yet, they can  still be repurposed  for an
elegant life once more.

I know you have probably seen this concept on Pinterest, but I would just like to point
out once again, that this can be a lifesaver as far as a beautiful, unique, one of a kind
treasure for someone special!

Below, is a picture of one that I created out of two vintage plates and a candle holder
from Hobby Lobby.  This is a great gift for friends or family that love to entertain!
All you have to do is adhesive them altogether.  See how beautiful this is?



So, look through your dishes and see if you have something on hand that you can make.
These look great on buffets because it gives you a vertical display!

"It's Time Has Come", for the orphaned china pieces to become elegant, vintage keepsakes,
again! Happy Hunting!
