Chicken Wire Basket Collection

I've seen on a few blogs where folks have found some really cute items for the home at Tractor Supply Company! Well, we had one open about 4 miles from my house a couple of weeks ago, and they are having their grand opening celebration this weekend. We went in to get dog food. They had the kind our dogs love 50# for $18.00. We bought 200#. Since we were there anyway, I decided I would look at their home decor items. I was pleasantly surprised!! They had lots of empty space on the shelves where folks got there before me, but they had two of these chicken wire cloches left. Cutest little thing!

It holds twine, and a little pair of snips to cut off what you need. I just had to bring one home with me. I've bought several pieces recently made of chicken wire. I was happy to add this to my collection.

I got this basket lined with burlap at my favorite consignment shop, and filled it with a small arrangement I already had. Love the colors.

The one to the right and back was found at Wal Mart. It is shaped like a little pail, and holds a pumpkin and acorns.

This basket came from an iron and metal works garden shop. I filled it with doilies and Fall potpourri!!

Above is my current collection sitting atop the pie safe! I just love these, and of course my wicker/rattan tray that was a gift from my first MIL. I painted it recently to brighten up the colors on it!

Doesn't this make a pretty vignette? I think so, and love it with the apple prints. So Autumnal!

So pretty in Sepia tones too!

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!

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
