A week of collections - Day Four

The glass ones.

Please excuse the photos, it's deviously hard to take a photo of glass that is all rounded and such like these are.



On the left is a nice little guy that I picked up from Ikea a while ago, they have another one that's the same just bigger that's really nice too. Though I think I have enough plain glass canisters. I'm all about COLOUR! On the right is one that I got from a Vinnie's I think. $3? Sounds about right. I do remember though that the old man selling it to me was very interested it what I was going to do with it.



This is another of my favourites. I got it of eBay and it's one of the few that I've paid a not measly sum for $20 or so? Can't remember with the postage. I love the colour and texture of this, love it.



Another beauty from trash and treasure, which I've decided to start calling the happiest place on earth. I think this was actually $1 and it was my first canister I think. I mean besides just regular supermarket purchased ones that is.



My mum gave me this last Birthday. It's very pretty! You can't really see here, but it's got lots of lovely etchings on it of flowers. It currently houses latex gloves for when I have to touch raw chicken. YUK!

Plenty more tomorrow!

This is...

What I'm surprised that I like.

Hanging out with my mum and nanna.

This one isn't something that I'm surprised about so much, but other people sure are. I had a bit of trouble with the topic this week. But since I went out with them today, it was good inspiration!

Today we went to the Como Gardens. It's a private estate in the Basin near my house with the most beautiful grounds, including a lake, mini rain forest and formal vegetable garden. I'm sure that a lot of people that live around the Dandenong Ranges will have heard of the garden. They open their gates twice a year with all proceeds going towards charities such as the SES, St John's Ambulance and the CFA.

Here are some photos of the gorgeous lily's, hydrangeas and other flowers that I saw today. I'm really happy with how they turned out! I'm going to select four or so and have them printed and put them in a frame for my nanna's Christmas present.









Hope you Enjoyed.
