I have never seen a more accurate description for an item than thingy!!! lol!

I know what this is!! It is just a mobile that you would hang in your kitchen, kind of like a wind chime, the cups would spiral down when hung. It is just a "look pretty"/ Serves no function other than to look good and maybe brighten your day some.
Awesome listing.

My brother's a pastor and there's a lady in his church who collects the used communion cups for crafts...I can just see her turning out something like this. She also does hideous ceramics and made the church a "present" of a brown and orange painted Jesus head with a light in it...it disappeared rather quickly. :)

This is pretty interesting, I noticed that people were saying it looks like a windchime...but does it make noise like a windchime?

Jun 7th, 2014 at 2:08:55 AM PDT by

Thank you i sure will do

Jun 6th, 2014 at 5:08:40 AM PDT by

I've been in the antique/vintage business for many years and I have NEVER encountered any thingy remotely like this !! How strange. It does truly qualify for the title "kitsch". You might want to use that term next time you have something funky or strange. There are kitsch collectors that would enter that word in the search engine when they are looking for off the wall items like this. I will be watching this as it would make a great Christmas gift for those kitsch collectors in my family. Good luck❤️

I will have to remember that word when i do list other items as to this nature. Thank you for letting me know what you know in the antique world.

Jun 6th, 2014 at 3:56:05 AM PDT by

This thingy is too cute windchime here I come!

Jun 5th, 2014 at 11:28:57 AM PDT by

Jun 5th, 2014 at 7:17:01 PM PDT by

Marvelous 60's era craft weridness. Looks like something my grandmother would have made. She had a giant bowl of syrofoam fruit covered in sequins attached with head pins.

Jun 4th, 2014 at 6:03:05 PM PDT by

omgosh I so have one of those from my grandma

Jun 5th, 2014 at 7:17:38 PM PDT by

Jun 3rd, 2014 at 11:09:56 PM PDT by

It would be lovely to have fruity bells all around the house for Christmas. Love these!

Jun 4th, 2014 at 7:51:37 AM PDT by

Jun 5th, 2014 at 7:19:53 PM PDT by

Lol. I love the thingy description!

Jun 4th, 2014 at 7:32:41 AM PDT by

I had to be creative since im not sure what you would consider it ... Its a thingy and it works!

Jun 5th, 2014 at 7:20:18 PM PDT by

To me,,,I think the creator may have been "a little fruity"!!!

Jun 4th, 2014 at 5:30:32 AM PDT by

lol

Jun 5th, 2014 at 7:20:30 PM PDT by

Any suggestions as to how it would be used -or is it purely decorative? Maybe send a photo to Dave Letterman for that game he plays "is it something".

Jun 4th, 2014 at 2:13:13 AM PDT by

It might be cute a windchimes or christmas garland
