5 Uses for a Collection of Liqueur Glasses

7-29-09planters.jpg

These little liqueur glasses are easy to find for less than a dollar at thrift shops. Individually, they're nothing special, but when you line them up in a collection they offer lots of possibilities...

 
 

• Plant them with succulents and keep them in a row on a windowsill or sink.
• At the dining room table, filled with tea lights, they make a great centerpiece.
• On a bathroom shelf, use them to hold Q-tips, cotton balls, clothespins, etc.
• Arrange them on a tray and use them to store jewelry or loose change.
• Use them as bud vases for small flowers.

What a coincidence! Yesterday I planted some of those same succulents in four different clear glass containers, including a liqueur glass and a coffee mug. Mine look almost the same as yours, except they're on a windowsill.

I have always want to grow herbs in my window in the kitchen but never like the containers they come in. I have several glasses almost like these and never thought of this!
Will be doing this as soon as possible!!
