Flowmojo, 3 May, 2012 at 11:17 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 27

I am in search of a large fishbowl vase or similar...all the ones i have seen are too small!

Basically (wedding related, sorry!!) we have postcards for our guests to sign as for our 'guest book' we intend to make a scrap book of the day sticking in bits and pieces alongside the postcards messages Smiley smile We want to keep these seperate from the card post box so looking for a big vase (have seen this done with a fishbowl!) for people to put them in...cant.find.anything!!

ideas? Seen anything large enough?

    Have you tried Dunelm Mill? They do delivery as well now I think if you haven't got one near you

    I don't know if they will have any big enough but I found Asda, Morrisons, Pundstretcher (if you have one of these) and Wilkinsons (if you have one of these too!) are quite good for that type of thing and are normally pretty reasonable

    Not a goldfish bowl, but I got a huge hurricane lamp style vase from Ikea when I was buying bits for our sweetie buffet - they had loads of stuff like that too, loads of different shapes/styles/colours. Might be worth a look, and not too spendy either

    ikea would be ideal but between now and the wedding i hae no time for a visit (i have already had a hitcher nip there for me and post something lol)

    I did dunelm, the range, sinasburys and asda at lunch, nothing, nothing big enough in any style!

    maybe charity shops will have soemthing?!
