Building Life Together One DIY at a Time
I mentioned it briefly in yesterday's post. While strolling the aisles of random cast-off items at my favorite Goodwill, I found these puppies, just sitting there on the shelf.

I needed a quick little piece of glassware to replace a nice yankee candle I broke, so a quick trip to Goodwill was in order. And of COURSE I left with way more than a single glass candle holder.
