Nice and New to Me

I haven't bought very much lately that I felt was a super bargain. But I have found  a few things that I haven't shared .

I bought 8 of these napkins for $10.00 last week.  I love the colors and they add just a hint of "fall" to the table.




I found this 2 tier white, metal stand at the same shop for $20.00.  It's really sturdy and has lots of possibilities.  Ceramic pumpkins......leaf garland...... you see where this is going.  :)



I think the grapes, napkins, and the rust color of the table cloth hint at fall.  The table cloth is a deep rust, not red as it looks in the other picture.

I had to touch up a place or two on the bookcase I painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, so while I had the paint out, I dry-painted this tray on the breakfast table.


I had previously painted it a dark color, but like the white much better. See below for the dark color.


 Also made a little change on the serving table in the breakfast nook.

 I like the green dish with the lemons/limes, and plant.  This dish was a VERY thrifty find in South Ga.

Wishing all of you a great week.
I will be joining in these parties: 
Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch,
Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life.
Nifty Thrifty Tuesday at Coastal Charm.

Please pay these lovely ladies a visit.

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. ...
