Santa Sale

Wish all of you could attend the Santa Sale on December 2 and 3.  My daughter came up with the idea to hold a consignment sale where folks could bring toys, winter clothing, home decor, and gift-type items and sell them.  She has 71 sellers to date, and has another week before the sale.  I've taken off work on the 2nd so I can help her with it.  She will get a percentage of everything sold, and will donate a good portion of it to a charity in our community that helps folks less fortunate than we are.  She's had an overwhelming response and we are so excited.  It's a lot of work, especially for her, but she has participated in these type of sales before as a seller, and loved it.  She will have some gift cards to give away to sellers who sign up to work a shift.  She has a schedule set up for sellers to make an appointment to drop off their items.  She's so organized, it's unbelievable!  She even set up a webpage so that sellers can enter their items, and the information about the item, she then takes that information and e-mails price tags back to the seller so they can tag their items prior to drop-off.  Saturday afternoon everything that is left is 1/2 price.  Then anything that isn't picked up on Sunday is donated to the same charity for their thrift store.  Doesn't this sound like fun!!!  For anyone reading this in North Georgia, the sale will be at the Old Clarkesville Mill just North of Clarkesville, on 441.  I'd love to meet some of you, so if you happen to be in the area, do come by.

I've been gathering things together for the sale.  My husband says that I'll later need/want the items I'm selling for my decor projects.  I don't think so.  I'll be glad to get some 'stuff' out of the house.  That makes room for me to buy more!  :0) 

I made a few photos of some of the items I'm taking.  This is just a little of what I plan to take.  I have a bunch of things I have set aside in the basement to take.  I hope to get those items tagged tomorrow afternoon.

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. ...
