Market Basket

Finally....I made it to Hen's Nest, my fave consignment shop.  I bought several things, but I just have to show this to you right now.  I'll share the other items later.  I stopped by the Dollar Tree on my way home and grabbed some fall flowers, and quickly poked them into the basket.  I didn't even cut the little bushes apart.  I just spread the stems out and voila! I'll do it right soon, I was just too impatient to show you the basket.


Just look at this wonderful basket!!

Basket Cost: $8.99....whoo hoo!
Flowers: $1.00 per bunch x 7 = $7.00
Already had the burlap garland.


Does anyone know what the P&G stands for?  The shop owner thought that maybe it was a grocery store name and she doesn't think it's very old.  It has a handle, it's just covered with flowers.  Don't you love the way they did the letters on the front?  I don't care if it's vintage or not, it just has character, and I can think of may uses.


Lovely!!

If anyone has a clue what the P&G stands for, please let me know!  
I'll be sharing some fall goodness this week, so be sure to come back by.


Come to these parties for lots of eye candy!

  1. I am going to guess Proctor & Gamble, makers of laundry soap and lots of other cleaning supplies.

    1. That was my guess too, but the shop owner didn't think so. I think you are probably right though! Thanks for visiting!

    1. Thanks BJ. I knew someone would know what the basket was used for. I had decided it was Proctor and Gamble, but I didn't know what it would have been used for. You are so smart!!

  11. Love the basket and how pretty your flower arrangement turned out! I agreed I think Procter and Gamble. It's so great to see fall colors and projects popping up all over. I love Fall means cooler weather! Your arrangement is so pretty for a great price. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!

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. ...

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 ...
