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.

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. ...
