Just FYI -- I've had SUCH luck finding decently priced clear vases at places like TJ Maxx and Marshall's ... I've been searching for just clear cylindrical ones, but they have all kinds ... all seem to be under 10 dollars, I've purchased all at $4.99 and $3.99 ... they also sometimes have quite the selection of frames if you are interested in them ... can't be a one time thing though, I've gone back and forth from store to store, location to location ... but I'm getting quite the collection!
Hope this helps someone!
