Vintage Perfection

I think I have an addiction to shopping Good Will!! I go in several times a week since it's so close to my house, and cause you never know what you'll miss if you don't go by regularly. Right? On a recent visit, I found quite a few items that I liked and here are some of the vintage items I found.

First up, this sweet lamb planter. I think it may be a McCoy. It is heavy, has no markings, but I read where early on they simply placed a paper sticker on their pottery. I did some research and it looks just like some of the ones shown as McCoy. Either way, it is definitely old.

Then I found this gorgeous bottle. It seems old to me, and again no markings at all, but the glass has numerous bubbles, especially in the bottom.

I found this pitcher to add to my ~~non~~ collection. I loved the design.

I already had the yellow tin, but loved the green one, which probably isn't old.

No way, could I leave this milk glass cup and saucer, in perfect condition. Not a chip, crack or anything, and it matches the urn I already had.

Now, can you see why I can't stay out of there??

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it. The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little. It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it! I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before. So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00. I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway. First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase. I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

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. ...
