.99 Cent Vase Turned Cloche ~

During my thrift shopping this week, I came across this vase for .99 cents. I instantly turned it upside down and could see the beautiful cloche it was meant to be.

So I picked up this knob at Target for $4.99. Seems like I should be able to find one cheaper, but the cheaper ones always seem to be cheap plastic - imagine that.
And grabbed my liquid nails.
As the knob was drying, I searched for my base. I had purchased this at Michaels way back. I believe it was .99 cents.

I turned to my black spray paint and began hunting for the next part of the base. This candlestick I picked up a month or so ago at the gigantic Goodwill in Seattle for - you guessed it - .99 (I am on a roll here).

And yes, painted it black as well.

And I put them all together -

I liked it, but I wasn't LOVIN' it. So remember these candlesticks I picked up this week? I used one on my crown project here. I grabbed the other one, ran out to my very cold garage and painted it black - spray paint takes a LONG time to dry when it is 4o degrees...

Ah, much better -

Then I made a tag.
Why the 4? Well there are currently 4 of us in our family - but I am holding my breath secretly hoping for more!
And here is the cloche that little vase was meant to be...and for the grand total of about $9 bucks (and the pesky knob was $5 of it). Now I just need to find some Fall items to replace the playful chess pieces...
