A Pretty Fall Table Runner

Our lake home is located in Seminole County, Georgia. It's county seat is a small town, consisting of old store buildings, mostly empty, but a few small shops exist.   While we were riding through town I noticed a "new" store, Front Porch Marketplace!  It's a consignment shop with 29 vendor booths, all offering unique items, mostly hand made items.  I found this lovely table runner, priced at $8.  It's really, really long, so I folded it to fit the table.  


These bright colors, called for some yellow and orange flowers for the table, so I dug through my stash here and took care of that!




It's so long, I tried it on top of the hutch, to see if I like it there.


I might leave it there for a while.  These are some of my MIL's cookbooks, her picture, her bowls....the other items are thrifting finds.



After moving the runner to the hutch, I placed this tray (thrift-find) on the table to anchor the other items.



By the time we come back down to the lake house, Fall will probably be in full swing, so I'll at least have a hint of fall décor already.  I'm loving using the yellows.  

While we were here, we installed a dishwasher, and a new faucet in the kitchen.

We bought the Moen faucet with one lever, and the pull down sprayer.  Love it!!



We only had room for a small dishwasher, 18", but that works for us.  We bought a Kenmore, and I'm enjoying it so much!!


We still have to put the molding around the dishwasher, but will do that tomorrow.

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

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. ...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
