Estate Sale Treasures

I had errands to run Friday morning, and saw an 'Estate Sale' sign near our post office. So I had to check it out. It was at a very small cottage, but they had a tremendous amount of 'stuff'! Table after table of glass ware, and dishes were outside under the car port, and lots of items inside the house as well. I didn't do much shopping because when I got out of bed I had gout in my right ankle, so it was hard to walk very much. Anyway, I bought three vintage dish ware pieces for $4.00.

This Wedgwood Salad Plate,

Perfect condition, $2.00

This Homer Laughlin gravy boat. I love this pattern, and the soft blue. So pretty!

No chips or scratches.

$1.00

This Homer Laughlin bowl with handles has lots of chips around the top, but I don't mind.

$1.00

I think it would make a perfect container for succulents.

All of these pieces sell for a decent price on EBay. I think I got a really good deal. I love vintage odd china pieces for their age, if nothing else, but these are 3 really nice patterns.

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. ...
