#7 : Hey, at least you're lucky enough to live in California where they're required to put that sticker on! I'm sure Virginia law requires no such notification (note to self: never buy off-brand dinner plates at dollar store).

It doesn't even work from the front vantage point --- you can see the glass peeping out on the left side.

If you don't have space for a vase, buy one from the thrift store for 50 cents, and give it back when the flowers die. Then you've got a real vase, you've saved $14.50, you've recycled, and you've helped out a charity. That's win-win (or win-win-win-win, I guess).
