So in my morning blog read {I fore-go the newspaper and read my favorite blogs} One of them is Heidi’s…. A few days ago she gave a Project Heidi Decorating 101 challenge…. Pedestal Bowls Decorating Essentials… In it she asked what’s in your bowl… You’ll have to see her ideas. So she asked for people to reply and send pictures of different items than she had photoed… So here I am today reading her blog and she has more inspiring bowl ideas, then she takes it even further and says Kmart has a Martha Stewart Compote Dish/Bowl regular priced at $24.99 on clearance…. Hellllo you know I had to hop in the car and rush over there, taking 2 five year old boys with me…. I didn’t care I was on a mission… Guess what…. Our Kmart had a few and sure enough they were marked down to $15.00, {of course they weren’t visibly marked, so I found a price check thing and scanned it! Hoooray! I can justify $15.00 {$24.99 would have been a little harder}… So here you go Heidi my bowl ideas….
My Grandma Great’s kitchen utensils
I have an extensive G collection, so here is my bowl of G’s
My Great Grandmother’s glasses, camera, war rations, and photos
My egg, nest, and bird collection {I think these will stay for Easter}
And Heidi you wanted black dice…. How about Dominoes??
Yes! I’m so glad you got the bowl, and I think your ideas are terrific. I am *so* going to have to try the dominoes. That would be just as fun to play at the dinner table as Scrabble word games. 🙂 I love the photos and old glasses, too. I’ll do another follow-up post and include your link and maybe a photo or two.
I like the one with the eggs and nest. Soo cute!
What an idea – I sure have to look at Heidi’s site also. These bowls are great. I might have to think of what my bowl would look like 🙂
I love the bowl! I want one!
They are all cute, but I think you need to paint the bowl black and fill it with Dolce’.
What great ideas! Love that bowl!! I’m trying to start my own collection of “G”‘s.
Hey, Jen! I just wanted to let you know that I posted some of your pictures (I hope that’s okay) and a link to your blog over at ‘my place.’ Thanks for participating!!
