Valentine Vignette

We are still snowed in here in Northeast Georgia, so I got some things together for a valentine vignette.

 See the cloche?  I was taking 2 sconces off the wall in the dining room, took them into the kitchen to wash them and when I rinsed and put them in the drainer, I noticed that when turned upside down, they looked like a cloche.  I just pulled a small clear depression glass plate out of the cabinet and made this little cloche.  I think it is so cute. 
 I bought the red angel for about a dollar at Dollar General on Sunday.  It was the last one left in Christmas clearance, but I thought it was ok to use regardless of the season.
 Here the cloche has a white tree candle and little glittered hearts around it.  In the picture below, the cloche has a white rose and a red heart in it, with a little ivy and the hearts around the cloche and twine tied around the top.





This is what I did with the hurricane from the other sconce.

I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.  You're invited to the party too!

  1. Now, you'll have me scouring my house for sconces that I can flip upside down! That looks great as a cloche.

    I also think that angel from DG was a great find.

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
