SNS 96 - things used as vases

Welcome friends! My son and I are off galavanting to parts unknown this weekend. I'll be highlighting your wonderful projects next week on Facebook and sharing new stories.

Happy summer partying! :)


Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #96



If you're new here, join in! There are three categories to link to. Home Decor as well as Crafts, Sewing, Recipes, plus the 3rd themed link up which stays open indefinitely. Check below for this weekend's theme.

Party starts Fri night and ends Sunday 11pm pacific, so you have all weekend to join!

I'll be featuring SNS highlights during the weekend on FJI Facebook, so join in and see what they're all saying about your stuff. :)
This weekend's theme:

~ things used as vases ~

I tend to use off the beaten track elements to hold flowers and such.

I think shaking things up and using things other than a traditional vase reflects your own originality to what you love. Get playful and have no fear!

Have any unique vase type projects on the go?
Share them in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

 1. DIY home projects only please.  Items for sale may be linked up if you show your project in tutorial form on your blog. Linkups or comments for selling items, advertising your giveaway or promoting your own link party etc. may be removed.

2. Please cut and paste the address of your post, not your home page.

3. Please link back to the party (button or text) within your post. See BUTTONS under main blog header.

4. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and/or within 1 month old. Repeat linkups will be removed.

The themed link up may have older posts and not brand new to SNS and will remain open for your new additions at any time. Click HERE for the main list.

If you can't decide which category to enter yours in, please just pick ONE and go with it. It's all good!

 5. By linking up to SNS, you're cool with being highlighted on FJI Facebook, added to the themed linkups and for possible future features on FJI without additional permission required.

  15. Love all the vintage pieces you use for flowers...so much more interesting than a boring old vase. I linked a post showing a vintage swirl ware pitcher used to old sunflowers. It was so old and leaky, I had to come up with a sneaky way to keep them watered. lol Your kitty is beautiful! Love seeing kitties in a post...sooo sweet!
