Where to find mini glass vases
For my shower my sister wants to do a rose(or two) in a mini vase at each place setting. My good friend's MIL actually did that for her baby shower and it turned out quite beautiful. Each person takes the vase and rose(s) home.
I am having a hell of a time finding reasonbly priced mini vases. We found ones at a local craft warehouse but it is a set of two different ones and we don't like one of them. Amazon and bizrate have not turned out anything decent besides the same type of deal we have found locally where you have to buy a set of three different ones to get the one we like the most. If any of you guys can remember something from back in the wedding planning days I would appreciate any suggestions.
TIA!!
This simple shape is what we were looking for.
Re: Where to find mini glass vases
I would look at the local dollar store. My mom and I were able to find cute ones for my sisters baby shower a few years ago.

Oh I didn't even think of this!!! It's not super duper close but we have been thinking about making a trip out soon and I will be on the road a lot this week for work.
Great idea!!!!
LOL I figured you did look there, but sometimes I honestly forget about the dollar store when I'm looking for things like this. I'm going to go to AC Moore, have you looked there yet? If I see anything I'll let you know.
I did see a set of 6 mini vases on crate and barrel the other day, but they were like $10 for the set.

No I agree I totally forget about it sometimes. I know people that won't go there as well though. To each their own I suppose.
I saw some on C&B this morning too, I decided to do an image search and just go to the original site when I saw something I liked yeah a little pricey.
Homegoods! Michaels!
