Table Tops at Shadymont

My daughter and I have a BUSY week this week with her Santa (Consignment) Sale. The first group of consignors dropped off their wares tonight. Wish all of you could come and shop. You would not believe the pottery, small appliances, many still in the box, comforters, Coach purses, all kinds of other purses. Forty vendors brought items already. At least that many are expected to bring theirs tomorrow night. Bring on the shoppers!!

Today I will share a few more photos of this year's Christmas decor. Hope you enjoy!

I'm keeping the dining room table clean and simple.

Side Table, also in the dining room. Below is the Snow Man Family, all dressed up for Christmas.

Mr. and Mrs. Snow Man

This sits on the coffee table, but I've already removed the red place mats.

This Nativity sits on a runner I bought at consignment. The Nativity itself was still in the box found under the bed at my late Mother-in-Law's home.

A couple of Santa's I've had for a very long time. The pencil Santa is actually a candle.

Thanks for stopping by.

Come and join me at Marty's for Table Top Tuesday.

Thanks for hosting Marty!

I'm also joining Kim for Wow Us Wednesday.

Thanks Kim!

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. ...
