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.

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

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. ...

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. ...
