New Table Arrangement

I was blog hopping on Sunday and came across Shirley's blog at Creative Home Decorating.  Her banner gave me an idea for a new arrangement for my breakfast nook.  Since Christmas, I had only had a basket of fruit on the table. Her banner has this little speckled rooster in it.....I recently bought a similar one at a consignment shop.  This is what I came up with by using things I had on hand.  This cost me NOTHING because I already had everything.   I've had the greenery and metal container for a long time.  The heart picks and roses are left from the Dollar Tree packet I bought last week.  (Used some on my wreath re-make).  The magnolia and bow were part of the green wreath I dismantled to make my new door wreath.  Can't get better than free!  So this is my new table centerpiece.  Did you notice the little sprigs of garland with hearts?




I'm joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday.  Come over and check out all the beautiful ideas for inspiration.

Marty, thanks for hosting!!

    Oh I absolutely love it. It is stunning. The cache pot is wonderful and all the flowers and bow and then the speckled hen. Now this is something I would buy in a heartbeat. I may have to try and make one of my own. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for the inspiration and for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

    You are so creative to use things you already have to make such a neat table centerpiece. It looks so neat on the table cloth on your table. Nice!

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
