Bargain Bird Cage

I had a coupon for a free Valspar paint sample from Lowe's, so I went in yesterday to choose a color.  I got a very pastel pink color.  While in there I went to look at the clearance items in the outdoor section of the store. They had put several of their garden statues and other items on sale.  Lucky me!! Look what I bought for $9.99.  It is very well built, and is fairly heavy, and y'all know how I love birds and cages.  

It was regularly $19.99, so if you need/want one, now is the time to go in and grab one before they are gone.  


I added it to my plant area on the screened porch.  I'm still loving my ladder plant stand.



The stand where I placed the cage looks like it was made for it.


The birds look realistic.  

I'm thinking the cage would look great in a fall vignette, too.

    How lovely, I adore bird cages and you got a great deal too! When I was a Young mother I had a huge one with real birds, now I would never thought of keeping Little birds in a cage, lol.. I would love to find one just for keeps like you! Thanks for your sweet and kind visit, dear friend. Have a wonderful weekend.

    That looks great Kathy. I can't wait to see your fall arrangement on it. Love the little cardinals. They were my sweet MIL's favorite bird.

    What a bargain Kathy! The stand is perfect and it looks right at home there. I just checked Lowes garden clearance the other day. Nothing wonderful so I came home empty handed. Something that I don't do very often. lol! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,

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
