Thanks and Thrifting Finds

First of all, thanks to my new followers.  The list is growing, slowly, but I'm thankful for everyone who chooses to follow.

My hubby and I have been at our home in South Georgia for the past few days, and I have not been able to blog.  While we were there I went exploring.  I found a little second hand store called the Treasure Hut.  They had great stuff and even better prices.  I found this huge plate for $6.00.  It's about 14 inches across.



I will share pictures when I decide where this will go.  I think he will probably live on the top of the kitchen cabinet.

These 2 plates were $1.00 each. 


 This green dish was only $3.00.  Please ignore the dirt from the pine cones.  I had just picked them up from the yard and didn't bother to wash the dish before taking the picture. 

You will see this dish again in Christmas decorations.  It is so pretty.

While in town, I went in Rite Aid and found a bunch of things for 1 and 2 dollars each. 

The waffle weave towel was $2.00.  I got 2 of the plates with fruit for $1.50 each, and the table cloth was $2.00.  It's a 60 inch round.  I have plans for all these items, so be checking back to see where they end up.  I am linking to Linda at

  3. What great finds! I like the unusual shape of the green bowl. That is a good color that you can incorporate year round.

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
