I bought some live pussy willows yesterday at the grocery store and put them in my latest acquisition.
I used to rub these on my face when I was a kid. They feel like rabbit feet. Or cat's feet, I guess (hence the name). But who would rub a cat's foot on their face! Sounds unhygienic with the whole cat litter issue and all.
Cheap tip of the day - do you ever buy a vintage vase and you're not sure if the pottery is still watertight? I just slide one of those red solo cups (not just for beer) into the vase and fill that with water. You can actually use your vase as a vase without the worry of the water leaking out. A win-win all around.
I dare you not to hum Red Solo Cup the rest of the day.
Red solo cup
I fill you up
Let's have a party . . .
That's a great idea, Pam! And the pussy willows are so pretty...makes me think spring really is just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen real pussywillows for sale. I want some. I like your vase. I pick up vases and flowerpots all the time.
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea, it also keeps away any staining. I love pussy willows!
ReplyDeletePussy willows are on the list to purchase this weekend. I need a good dose of spring. Love your plastic cup trick.
ReplyDeleteI grew up near a Solo cup factory. The entrance was a giant Solo cup you walked through. It is still there but not owned by `Solo anymore. The pussy willow looks great in the McCoy.
ReplyDeleteCan I use a blue solo cup instead? lol OMG-isn't that something a blond MIGHT ask though?;>) xo Diana
ReplyDeleteps. GREAT idea!
Nice tip. I'm sure the color of the cup doesn't matter. Right?
ReplyDeleteOh great. Now I have that song stuck onmy head. For the rest of the day...!!
ReplyDelete....and now I can't get that song outta my head......;)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Miss Non-Willy-Nilly White Vase Queen. Love it and the pussy willows! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope Suzan from simply vintageous follows you so she has that song in her head. Yesterday her song had barely left my mind and in her response she dropped a a new song in it.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm a red head but can I use my orange solo cups? ;-)
What a smart idea!
ReplyDeleteThey look so Springy.

Why didn't I think of this? What a clever idea.
