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.

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. ...
