Great Finds & An Easter Vignette

Today, I had the chance to get out and do some thrifty shopping.  First stop, Good Will.  I found a great picture ($3.93) for the guest room that I'll share later on, a huge bag of curtain ring clips for $1.51, and a decorating book to add to my collection for $2.92.

My next stop was Wal Mart for some vitamins and a few other things, then on to the Hen's Nest.  I used the gift certificate Blake and Rachel gave me for my birthday.  I bought the items for this Easter vignette I have on the coffee table.

I love this glass pedestal dish.


I purchased a small bag of spotted eggs to place in it, and also this sweet basket filled with white tulips.


By placing all the items in this white wooden box, I created a sweet Easter vignette.




I added the pink bunny I bought last year


I found some pastel colored eggs I had purchased last year and added those to the dish.

More Easter decor.


I haven't added a lot of Easter decor, per se, but mostly Spring items.  I'm loving all the pastel colors with the cottage look in the family room.  Easter is only 2 weeks away.  Have you decorated your home yet?

I'll be sharing at these link parties:

  1. Kathy,
    I love the accessories individually. . .
    and adore the Easter vignette you've designed by combining them together!
    Easter's certainly on its way at Shadymont!
    Fondly,

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
