For those of you who are not members of any Yahoo mini groups, Karrie posted that she had found these great mini jars at the Dollar Tree. These nail art kits come in glass bottles perfect for many pantry or kitchen items. I am going to use them for herb jars in my Witches Shop which is next on my project list. They come 8 to a pack. I will cut some cork tops for them to replace the plastic ones or make figural stoppers from Fimo. What a steal! This is why I love belonging to these mini groups! I would never have known...... Thanks Karrie! Here is her blog site:
Go out and buy some. But not if you live in Portland. They are all gone......:-)
 
Garth Manor is rolling right along. I have finished grouting and sealing the porch brick work and I am now working on the new and improved portico. I am pleased so far with how the "slate" shingles are turning out but I am desperately low on carton despite my neighbors "donation". I may have to throw a deviled egg party just as an excuse to buy a ton of eggs. Oh the things we must endure for our craft.
 
I regret not being able to post pics of the progress but my "camera" is on yet another camping trip. It will return to me Monday evening so I will post pics then. Hopefully I will have even more done by then! Have a great day!

    1. It took me awhile at the Dollar Tree to figure out which ones to pick until I realized that I was wasting time because I am buying them ALL. Yeah, there are so many possibilities with the glitter stuff. I can't wait to figure something clever out!

  2. Wow, this was a lucky find! I payed 10 euros for 20 bottles. And now I looked for "nail art bottle" on eBay and I'd get 10 bottles for 2 euros... And it's just because it's not labeled as "miniature"!! :/
    Oh well, at least now I know what to order instead of empty bottles.

    1. Isn't that funny? Yeah, Ebay has some great stuff but I find that the actual bargains are few and far between!

    2. Yes, you can probably find much better deals in local shops, but for me eBay is the only option for mini stuff. I don't intend to buy all that much anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem :) Why not take the challenge and do something yourself, right?
