Vintage Table & Other Finds

I don't know if this table is vintage, or a reproduction. Either way, it doesn't matter to me. I remember my grandmother having a table made like this, only hers was bigger. I bought it at The Hen's Nest Consignment Shop for only $30.00. I saw it on Thursday, and didn't buy it because I couldn't think where I would place it. After getting home, I realized I had a perfect place so I went back on Friday morning and bought it. I have a habit of doing that it seems.

I moved the aqua door back to the sun room, and gave its spot to my table. Love the turned legs, and the scalloped edge on the top. Similar tables online cost much more. They are called two tiered lamp tables. I brought my MIL's antique lamp in from the office, a stack of books, and a bird nest sit on top. I leaned a DT grapevine wreath on it too.

I love its dark blue/gray color. It's just a few shades darker than the hall tree.

I also bought the wall pocket at the same time for $4.00.

This corner is near the front door.

I found a bargain in curtains for my living room, too. At $10.00 per panel, I was happy to bring them home with me. They were new, still in the bag, Laura Ashley, Frosting. I love the raised design.

I am so happy with these finds. I spent less than $60 for all of these. Especially, love the table.

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
