A White Heart Pillow, Wreath Revamp, Fabric Hearts

While at our lake home for the last week, I really took advantage of being lazy.  I remembered a heart shaped pillow that I had there and added it to the bed in the master.  



Simple valentine decor!  No work required, just moved it from one room to another.  :)  It's eyelet material with eyelet lace.  So cute!  It belonged to my MIL, so I have no idea how old it is.  



My other quick project was adding burlap ribbon to this wreath that hangs in the master bedroom too.


I made this wreath a long time ago by just attaching a short rose garland to a grapevine wreath, and adding a bow.


I had brought a spool of burlap ribbon with me, so i removed the gold ribbon, and just weaved the burlap in and out of the flowers.




Made a simple bow for it and viola!  Done!


My last simple project was making these fabric hearts which I showed you here.




 Here they are in a vignette I created.




Everything was made with materials I already had.  In all the photos, the only money spent was for the flowers in this old vase.  Frugal, simple design.  It doesn't get better!

Have you made any no-cost projects recently?

I'll be joining in the fun at:

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.   Consignmen

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 can all be seen
