Burlap Hearts and Book Case Decor

While out shopping last Saturday with my daughter, I saw some burlap hearts.     They were priced at $7.99.  I decided I could make my own.  I knew I had a good sized piece of burlap left from other projects.

I used a paper doily heart as the pattern, and cut out enough for two hearts.  I simply sewed them together, left an opening for padding to be inserted, and then sewed up the opening.  This is how they turned out.


Aren't they cute?  Cost.....Nothing!  I already had everything.


I used the hearts, a vintage silhouette picture, and a Dollar Tree wreath to decorate my sewing drawer for Valentine's!  I love it!!!



This shelf holds the other silhouette picture, valentine cards the hubby and I gave each other last year, 3 heart picks, and an angel.  


I made this wreath a year or so ago, and use it fr valentine's.  The heart picks can be pulled out if I choose to useit for another occasion.  


It hangs above the bookcase on the old door I painted and distressed.

    You are one busy gal. All that Valentine decorating you have done makes me feel guilty. I guess I had better get busy and do some Valentine decorating in my home. I love the things you have done and the burlap hearts are adorable. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Karie

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 ...

Decorating Slump

I have absolutely had the hardest time deciding on how to decorate the dining room table for Thanksgiving.  I am not satisfied with anything I've done.  I'll show you the latest in a long string of 'tries'. Anyway, this is the latest try.  I bought six of these chargers at Dollar Tree, at $1 each.   I layered with this dinner plate and salad plate purchased from Wal Mart several years ago. I stopped there.  No decision yet on silver, glassware, or placemats/napkins.    I have the drop cloth/burlap runner I made last week on the table. I brought out this lovely cake stand bought at Good Will for $4.99.  It is centered on the runner.  I like the contrast between the leaded glass and the runner.  I placed the arrangement I made a few weeks ago on top of the cake stand. I added the two white candle sticks with white candles, leaf garlands, 2 small ceramic pumpkins around the cake pedestal, and stopped. I have to decide on ...
