Linens and Other Things

Today I was at Good Will when they opened and did I ever score!! It was Sr. Discount Day, and I wanted to get in before everything was picked over.

Here are today's finds:

Six Vintage Jeanette Blue Hellenic Grecian Wedgwood 5 1/2" Glass Tumblers, total after discount, $4.45

Two vintage electrical insulators at $1.43 each. I was surprised to find the glasses and the insulators. Not something you usually find at GW.

I already had the turquoise insulator above. My husband's father was an electrician and this is one he had.

This small picture is wood, and cost $.91.

Then I had another surprise when I found these shams that match the twin bed quilts I have at the lake house.

These were $2.72

You might remember I found a pair of shams a few weeks ago that match the quilt in the master at the lake house, and now these! Can you believe it!! I couldn't.

Here are more linens I've found recently at GW.

This quilt will be put on one of the twin beds at the lake so they are not the same. $6.00 at GW.

Twin bed skirt I found to use with it, $1.91.

A new (in the package) set of twin sheets, $4.64.

I have really been lucky recently, and can't wait to get back to the lake house to use these.

I'm still looking for a sham for the quilt, and am trying to be patient. Maybe my next visit to GW will be the time I find it!!

Be sure to check out your Good Will for linens.

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. ...

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 ...
