Feeling inspired to start making xmas gifts & wondered

[lucysmam]

Does anyone know the answers to any of the following .........

Where can I get some pretty but fairly cheap cups & saucers on the internet for candle-making?

Or some nice looking glass jars I could use for candle making?

TIA

this kind of thing? (expensive, but must be cheaper available?

oooh, yeah. They're pretty. But not willing to spend quite that much on my sister. But yes, they're the kind of thing I'm after.

Maybe if I buy some glasses from wilko or Asda I could get some glass paints & paint them

thanks missmoopy, it took me a while to remember to turn my pop-up blocker off to see your link but it was worth the frustration!

I know you said the internet but your best bet is charity shops.

I would also try car boot sales

Trawl Oxfam etc as they often have pretty glasses etc. Here's some cheaper ones of t'internet

Car boot may be the way to go, our charity shops round here tend to be quite pricey for the battered stuff that usually makes it's way to them

i think ikea would be worth a try. they certainly have nice cheap glass jars...

I don't live near an Ikea but may be able to get my dad to pick something up if I send a list with him next time he goes. Doubt he'd take me though, he and my sister are joined at the hip

do you have a quality save near you? They had some sets of white cups & saucers in our local one recently

erm, I've never heard of them lilolil so guess not, thanks for the suggestion though. I've spotted a charity shop near my MIL's house that I think may well be cheaper than the others I'd usually pop in so am going to get off the bus there next time I pass it & have a look
