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


 I thought it was so good to find both these pictures in one frame.  I love them both and have admired the large one Marty has of the man.  $6.95
 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'

    Great finds my friend! I love the plate, the kettle is so cute. You crack me up! I too sometimes walk in the house without showing my hubby what I bought, he takes a while before he notices it, unless it's something I must put it to show in the dining or living room! Us, women! I always get away with what I want! So go girl! Buy...LOL

    XOXO

    As usual, you are a fabulous shopper. Our thrift stores are slim pickins. How's the weather there? It is slowly arriving here. Have a great weekend. Ginger

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

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. ...

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. ...
