Sharing Vintage

Please join me in the party over at Debra's.  You'll find plenty of inspiration there.  Here are a few vintage items I've used in my decor.

 I love these little vintage tables.  I found this one at an antique store and painted it white.  I really enjoy decorating it.
I'm not sure how old this bowl and ewer are, but it has a vintage look regardless of its age.
 I think this little Limoge plate has a vintage look.  I bought it for $1.00 at a thrift store. The little dome was also a dollar.
 These old chippy dishes belonged to my mother and my mother in law.  I know they are old.  The creamy color is so wonderful.  I remember eating off the white plate when I was little, and believe me, I'm vintage.  :)

Don't forget now, come over to Common Ground and join in the party!

Have a great weekend y'all!!!

    I love your vintage things and oh yeah, they do look vintage, not you though! I love your little table with the bunny and that pretty pitcher. The Limoge's dish is beautiful and so are your mom's plates...isn't it great to have things like this plates, that we've used when little? I love this. Thank you for sharing. I'm at Pink Saturday. Have a nice weekend.

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. ...
