Fun from the Goodwill

Mom and I went shopping at the Goodwill a few weeks ago. It was a great trip, I found a little freestanding towell bar that I need to figure out what color I'm going to paint it. I also found a perfect pampered chef turning utensil holder for $3! But my favorite find was these two oak wall plaques cut in the shape of the state of Arizona. There was something about that I really liked and they were only 99cents each, so it was a steal. Here's what I did with them. I have to do one more that I'm going to give to my Mom, but I have to find another AZ map.

Re-Using Wine Bottles - Future Project

This morning while looking through my blog list I found one of the most awesome entries I’ve seen in awhile. It was on one of my favorite blogs, Be Different Act Normal. In the posting, here, she showed a few of her favorite things to do with leftover bottles, and a link to The Stories of A 2 Z, which had even more ideas on reusing bottles, here.

So it got me thinking.

I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but, my parents are winos. Wait, I mean they are wine aficionados, which means they really like wine, going to wineries, tasting new wines, doing wine pairings, etc. So they would have lots of leftover bottles to use for some of these. I already have them saving the corks and wine labels that they love for these two other projects, so...why not the bottles, too?

My favorite is this outdoor grill station:
