They are fun to fill with pretty things all over the house. I always buy the cheaper ones though since I tend to only put them in places where they aren't touched or moved too much. <br /><br />Thanks for showing different ways to decorating them and joining me at Your Cozy Home Party this week.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355964629556443461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512759317114834344.post-50389597344780488362012-06-12T22:32:35.206-04:002012-06-12T22:32:35.206-04:00Neat comparison.

It had a space below the candle for display and in the catalog, shells were displayed. I bought one for our beach condo. Fifteen minutes, after I added the shells, the thing practically exploded and a huge crack appeared in the bottom. I will be buying anything glass from a retail store in the future, so I can see the quality!!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951014703880304321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512759317114834344.post-39834665751011327242012-06-10T06:46:51.702-04:002012-06-10T06:46:51.702-04:00Thanks for the great tips!

They don't bounce, they break and shatter everywhere, ugh. We don't have Marshalls here doggone it but do have Pier One and stores that are very high end. There's supposed to be a T.J. Maxx sometime but who knows when. So maybe that's good, give me time to save up and with luck they'll have some I can afford. One can only hope.

It's amazing all the ways people use them. Thanks for coming by Quirky Vistas to comment. So sweet. I'd like to see the picture you did in parts. I love breaking a picture up and spreading it across the wall. It makes it more so much more interesting.
