Gorillas are my friend

Do you want to know why Gorillas are my friend?  Well not real Gorillas, just Gorilla Glue.  It enabled me to make something I really am thrilled with.

The fab girls over at Shanty2Chic are hosting  I Made It with Gorilla Glue Party and I wanted to party too!  They are one of the first blogs I came across and they have me running to the hardware store, Hobbylobby and all sorts of places to create some amazing projects. 

The first super cool project I stumbled along were these apothecary jars, and then they showed us these to hang plates, platters, you name it and look at that kitchen, drool worthy.  These gals can whip up something outstanding for little or nothing, the best part. 

Earlier this week I posted my version of the apothecary jars.  Out visiting some of my favorite thrifty stores this week, I came across an old lamp, as that is what I was actually looking for.  Unfortunately this lamp needed a new cord and didnt have most of its parts and I needed 2, but after looking it over good, I decided I loved the style, color, patina everything and for 2 bucks decided to get it.  You never know right?

At my next stop, still looking for lamps, I found this glass jar/bowl thingie that matched my dining/living room color.  I was doing the happy dance at this point, it was the perfect color.  Had I been looking for a jar of this color I wouldnt have found it.  Ever have that happen?

And the Ah-ha moment happened after I brought them in the house.  They were destined to be together.  Hear the soft romantic music playing?  I did.  I just added a little dab of my friend Gorilla to both pieces and here they are.

I am still walking by it tonight and just smiling.  I dont think my pictures do it justice.  It turned out so good.  I want to say thank you to the gals at Shanty2Chic for inspiring me, I am having a blast playing along. 

By the way, please dont notice that I needed to clean my mirror before taking the picture okay?  This is real-world blogging at its best.
