So, when I realized my kitchen was in desperate need of a Fruit Bowl, rather than hop in the car and head to a Big Box store, I scoured the Thrift Store during my bi-monthly chair hunt and found these two bowls for, like, $5 each.
One was a little larger, a little more saucer-esque than the other. I wasn’t crazy in love with the individual designs, but there was something kind of cute about them together. Something so totally Anthropologie. And good, sweet mother. Don’t get me started on Anthro.
I grabbed some Original Gorilla Glue, because it’s food safe…
And started the project off with another Thrift Store find…this gaudy green goblet.
A little glue around the rim (just a little, it dribbles if you get too crazy with it), a little glue around the base (you can use more here and wipe off the excess)…
Then a press to get it all into place…
And a heavy handful of beans sitting in the top bowl overnight.
And just like that (after a good handwashing with lavender-scented dishsoap), our fruit had a happy little two-tier home for their rindy little selves.
