To buy or not to buy :)

I did it again!!! I went to Sweet Tea Consignment Shop on my lunch hour. Wow!! What a treat! I could not walk out without these items. I tried, I really did, but then I remembered hubby is away and I won't have to sneak in my goodies......hee hee! I really don't sneak things in, but sometimes I feel just a wee bit guilty for buying things that I really don't NEED, or do I??? To buy or not to buy, that is the question. :)

Look at the goodies I found.

Total price: $13.15

This wooden autumn hanging for .....get this.....$1.39

This kettle was only $5.95.

I'm so excited with my new pretties, but there were four more items that I really think needed a new home, so I may have to visit again tomorrow. She had two lovely white doves for $3.95, a gorgeous piece of blue and green pottery for I think $ 4.95 and a turquoise vase for $3.95. I can hear them all calling me back. Listen, I'm sure you can hear them too! I'm going to quit thinking about them, really I am! I will not go back tomorrow.....I will not go back tomorrow.........maybe I won't go back tomorrow..... I might go back tomorrow....... hmmmmm. just sayin'

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. ...
