Treasures in White

Lately I've been on a "white" kick!  I will join in the party at Kathleen's today and show you some of the things I have found or "fixed" lately.  I painted this once gold candle stick white.

The napkin rings and milk glass dish were GW finds.


White dishes and white placemats in a valentine table setting.

 Just brought this table into the sunroom today.  It was dark brown and all scratched but 3 coats of white spray paint made a big difference.  The bowl and pitcher belonged to my husband.  The rabbit was bought at a consignment shop a couple of years ago.  

BTW, does anyone know the correct name for the table above?  I bought it at an antique store.

 The milk glass vase was found in an antique shop this past Sunday.  Got it for $2.50, half price on everything in that booth!  I think it is so pretty!
 I'm sure everyone recognizes the DT birds painted white.  I will post about the silver dish soon.  I found it this past Saturday.  Love it.  It has interesting markings which I will post about in a day or so.


This white planter was a recent consignment shop find.  I think it is so pretty.


Please come over to the party at Faded Charm.  You will be most welcome!  Thanks Kathleen,  for hosting1

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 ...

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. ...
