Come In and Sit a While

I don't think I have shared the front screened porch at the lake home.  We haven't purchased any new outdoor furniture, just making do with what we have. We had a swing hung when the porch was built, and that's my favorite spot.  The swing was built locally.





I like the cup holders made into the arms of the swing.
These are just regular stacking chairs.

This is an old coffee table I painted white and decorated with recent yard sale finds.  That's a lazy susan underneath the table.  I need to sand and repaint it and use it inside.






Nothing fancy, just a place to relax, have a cool drink, and look at the lake. 

Come back anytime, and sit for a while!!

  2. Number one....it's great to have a lake house and Number Two....you have a lovely porch on which to relax. I love a porch swing and would probably be napping there.

  5. I think your porch is a very pretty place to sit and relax with a nice magazine and a tall glass of iced tea. I would love to have a swing on my back porch. We had one when I was a child and I loved to sit and swing in it with my doll. Hope you have a nice day enjoying your porch and the lake.----------- Shannon

  7. I adore porch swings! We used to have two in our past home and I used to swing for a warm afternoon nap with one of our small daughters in my lap! With the beautiful lake view, the icing on the cake!! Enjoy the weekend.

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. ...

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
