This was my awesome birthday present from my mom!!!! It holds water glasses but she put different wine glasses in it. I vision it with different things in the glasses~ um..... like buttons!
buttons always make me happy~
During the holidays I'm thinkin' little glass ornaments or a bird nest ~I'll get back with you { when I do my JBS Hotel board Christmas style}!!!

One more little tidbit~
Do you remember these?
This was my grandmother's chair. She paid 7 books of S & H green stamps for this chair in the mid 60's. I remember thinking when she told me ~ 7 books for a chair, it must not be a very strong chair. I have it my home and it so well built, will last a long time:):) I think things were made better back in the day!!!

Have a great holiday weekend~see ya soon!!
Super fun idea to add buttons to the glasses. Love that gorgeous chair too. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeletegreat ideas! LOVE the glasses :)
ReplyDeleteI so remember putting those stamps in the little book! What a really cool gift too.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to the S&H Greenstamp store with my Mom to redeem the books of stamps she had saved. Makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI love love love what you did with the glasses and the buttons!!!! And that chair is GORGEOUS!! I so remember those stamps!!!!!
ReplyDeletefun post Connie! S&H Greenbax stamps..we have some around here somewhere. Now we shop at the "Piggly Wiggly" and they give S&H Greenbax but they calculate it onto your rewards card. We get discounts all the time.
ReplyDeleteomgosh - does your mom know you or what?! what a great idea! and yes - i remember S&H Green Stamps - i used to help my mom put them in the book. LOL!
ReplyDeleteooooo love the glasses so very cool and the s&h green stamps I got a bamboo chest with them that I love forever and passed on to a friend.
ReplyDeleteYour mom really knows what you like, Connie! The glasses look great all filled up with the buttons. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Haven't thought of S&W stamps in years! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the gift you received from you mom, how clever to put the wine glass in it and buttons too. Oh yes, S&H green stamps bring back a lot of memories. We collected Blu Chip stamps too, but I think those were regional.
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo cool about the chair. They don't make furniture like they used to. I got a really cool rattan chest with some s&h stamps.
ReplyDeleteLove the clever way you're displaying your button collection, it's always fun to have them out to enjoy. Oh yes, I remember S&H Green Stamps, it's no surprise that your grandmother's chair has lasted so long. Thanks for sharing at VIParty.
