My vases are in! I placed my order from Dollar Tree Direct on March 4 and they were in the store, ready for me to pickup on March 13. I called the store while I was on my way home from work to make sure that my shipment had come in when I heard him say, “I thought you picked those up earlier today.” Uh, oh.
Turns out that the only people who have ever purchased the votives/vases from our local Dollar Tree was a florist in our area. The manager accidentally gave them all 20 boxes of vases, but 17 of those were mine. He was so embarrassed and went immediately over to pick up my boxes. Since three of the boxes were still in the back of the florist’s van, he went first thing the next morning to pick up the remainder for me.
A little hiccup, but with a happy ending
Here they are in all of their glory:

(I put one next to a bottle of rubber cement to give you a better idea of the size, although Mom H says this really doesn’t help much)
The vases are awesome! The glass is THICK. I mean, not like the $1 vases you find at the store, these are sturdy. They are also a little larger then I envisioned, but they will work perfectly and make for a nice reusable item for all of our guests to take home.
The only thing that was not so lovely about my vases were the stickers on the bottom of each and every one of them.
So, since Mr. H is a huge hockey fan, we spent part of our Saturday night watching his beloved Dallas Stars and taking the stickers off of half of the vases.

I figure just one more night of this and we’ll have that taken care of in no time!
