Lost Marbles Found


Polaroid SX-70 / Polaroid Time-Zero (expired)

The replacement of our crappy single paned windows and the preceding “move everything three feet away” gave way to yesterday’s wee “potter”. I managed to make great headway in beating back the drifts of crap in my office closet, tossing and/or recycling stuff that moved from important to “why in the hell did I think I needed to keep this.” I found this handful of marbles squirreled away in a hideous X-Men tin that was once a most treasure possession. Most are quite old, a gift from my step-father a few lifetimes ago. Do they make thin square vases? I’d like to find some better way to display them against the light.

Re. vases, do you mean tall, square vases? If so, I found this: http://is.gd/hy4wK If that’s not what you’re looking for, just type “vase” into the Target search engine to look for others. And, if memory serves, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them at an el-cheapo Dollar Store.

Ohhhh…. That is lovely. I was thinking a little thinner but wider so that a single layer of marbles 4 – 6 across would stack one atop another. But, what you’ve linked too is really nice. Thanks for the boot in the derriere.

Ooo….. now I grok what you’re trying to achieve. Lovely idea! You might try a wedding supply or floral design store. It might be hard to find something as thin as you’d like. The thinnest rectangular vases I’ve found are the last three on this page: http://www.modernvaseandgift.com/products.php?cat=20&pg=2
