I am having a cocoa bar at my December wedding, but need to find jars/vases such as those used for the candy buffets.  Are there any suggestions where you can find these items for a decent price?  I've been keeping an eye out for any items for sale, but haven't found anything local lately.  Any help is great!  TIA!
Anniversary

    Check dollar stores!  Some of them have surprisingly nice (and cheap) glassware.

    Check Reading China and Glass at Rockvale outlets. They have alot of reasonably priced glassware and I think I have seen vases like that there at one point. We are considering a candy buffet and that was one place I wanted to check out for vases.

    One more option I would suggest would be Flower & Craft Warehouse in Blue Ball (and they have a new location in Park City as well), but I def second the Dollar Store and thrift store options!  :)

    Susquehanna Glass Company in Columbia.

    Hands down they have the best choices and prices. They have a section in the basement that is all glass that is marked down because they have a small imperfection. I got a bunch of this..no one will notice the imperfections the day of the wedding. Plus most of it was on the bottom anyway, I would've bought them regular price and not noticed the difference.

    I swear they were about $3-10 each. Even their regular priced items are good deals. I got a giant candy jar regular price for $15.

    I have quite a few really nice ones I am selling. Most are blown glass and some are the molded glass. I also have alot with lids. Most are larger sized. Some tall and some squat. All have large mouth openings for easy access. Everything is nice and nothing is really the dollar store type pressed glass. Will be selling most for between $5 and $10 . I paid between $14 and $39. Sorry no pix right now but let me know if you are interested and I can get them together from my garage after Thanksgiving. If anyone is doing a TURQUOISE or Peacock theme wedding I have a large hand blown crystal bowl in swirls of Turquoise that I used as a centerpiece candy dish. Paid $79.99 and will probably sell for about $30. If anyone takes the whole lot I will include a few scoops I have I bought that have turquoise crystal type handles. We used these mixed with regular silver scoops and silver tongs. I currently am USING the silver colored ones on an everyday bases but have the blue ones packed away with the wedding decorations.
