Thrifting and Changes in the Jelly Cupboard

I took the day off from work and stopped in at a favorite consignment shop.  They had some great buys and I saw lots of things I liked, but I only brought one item home with me. I only gave $19.00 for it, marked down from $29.00.

Couldn't decide where I wanted to hang this, so I sat it on the mantel for now.  I like the change. 
This shows the entire mantel.

Added items to the wire basket, beads, seashell, etc.



 The spots on the windows is rain, not dirt!  :)

I decided to change up the jelly cupboard.  I'd had the yellow canister set on top of the cupboard with a yellow plate, and a picture with yellows.

I decided to put the canister set inside the cupboard and take some of the other items out.  Here's what I came up with.

  
While I was at it, I changed out the arrangement on the table in the entryway.


That's probably enough changes for one day!

    I love your little jelly cupboard!!! It is so sweet, and you did a nice job in changing this around a bit. Don't need to buy new things, just move around what you already have, new perspective.....hugs....cleo

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. ...
