Ok, I am not sure what they are called but I call them 'glass globes' as most of them are round/globe shaped but there are different types... anyhow I posted some pictures of what I do with them,,,but you'll have to go over to my katmom blog to see....
I am heading into Spokane tomorrow to find some more at the local Thrift Shop.....
After all, it's all about re~purposing....

yep, Michele, using these old 'globes' is so great,,,,,even as garden elements,,,,,they can be painted, or left as they are.....in the garden, hanging from a macrame holder, for violet resevors or even for orchaids....or in the sewing room,,,to hold pins, or bottons are what ever.....
So what is "silver liquid picking stuff" ?

Love this idea. I have a couple packed away somewhere that I picked up years ago. I just may need to find them now :)

Its funny I have done that same thing with my old ceiling light containers...I also will use the really pretty ones & put them on a base for a sun globe out in my yard & gardens....the newer boring ones I spray paint the outside & put them in macrama hangers with potted flowers in them to hang on my front porch.....they are so great for new ideas so I never give mine up to the trash or recycling people...I even have one in my shop that has a flat bottom when turned up side down that I keep my silver liquid picking stuff in....its so thick that the heated metal won;t break it when i put it in there. who knew they would come in soooo handy....well you & I did...lol...have a great weekend Michele'

I forgot to mention, that they need to be flat bottomed globes.... I see lots of rounded ones which won't work,,,
but then why let that stop us????
How easy it would be to wrap wire around the 'neck' and then create a 'hanging' handle which would be attached to the wire around the neck to hang a plant in/from...
or you could do a 'wire' macrame' around the glob and then insert little tea light candle or a votive candle in to a seperete glass votive holder ( or baby food jar) then hang out doors around the patio or if you have a free standing shepards hook, hang from there....hmmm, and how cute would that be to wire wrap some colored glass beads to the outside as well! omg! looks like I have to hit the Thrift again to go get some globes for this project!

Thanks for sharing your blog. It was so enjoyable. Love the babies, love the lavendar, love the doilies. I recently found a could I couldn't resist at a thrift store. Your collection gave me the idea of putting them up like a collage. Beautiful show of craft work! It looks like you really can see the beautiy around you.
