#1 – Bubble Vase
I’ve always loved blowing bubbles – they’re fun, no matter how old you are. This bubble vase reminds me of those bubbles. Use the vase for your favorite fresh cut flowers – a fun display! Another way to use the vase would be as a water garden – just add water and your favorite aquatic plant and let it grow. And, if you had more than one of the vases, you could also use them as a unique beverage glass – just add your favorite tasty beverage and a long straw and enjoy!
#2 – Wood World Map Wall Art
Just imagine how your wall will look with this wood world map hanging on it! You’ll have the entire world at your fingertips. Close your eyes, point to a spot on the map, and then imagine yourself traveling to that location.
This world map is perfect for an entry way, home office, or even a guest bathroom. If you wanted, you could even use this wood map as a ‘tray’ on a center island or dining table as a place to serve snacks from various parts of the world. And, if you’re a do-it-yourselfer, you could even turn this wood map into a side table by adding legs to it (hairpin legs would work well). Be creative!
#3 – Fountain Catchall Tray
When I spotted this fountain catchall tray, I couldn’t help but smile. I love that this is a whimsical way to store your keys, loose change, jewelry, or office supplies, but that isn’t why I smiled.
This fountain tray reminds me of my Mom and Dad – both of whom are no longer here. When we first built our house, my Mom gave us a beautiful three-tier stone fountain for our landscaping. We use this fountain every single day throughout the warmer months, and it always reminds me of Mom. This fountain tray also reminds me of my Dad. He was an avid bird watcher. He loved all the birds in his yard and passed that passion on to me. While I realize these are my memories and my reasons for loving this catchall tray, I also think you would love it for it’s whimsical design.
Place the tray on a table in an entry way, or on a vanity in a bathroom. You could even use it next to your kitchen sink to hold small sponges and your jewelry while washing dishes. I think this tray would also be fun for a center island to hold candy and mints for your guests. So many fun ways to use this!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
