Ramblins' Of A Good Will Junkie

I bumped into a long-time friend today at GW, and she said she thought GW should pay me for advertising. I told her I'm a GW addict, and she admitted that she's becoming one too. We are meeting there next Tuesday at 9:30. I hope they have lots of good stuff. I need some more "stuffin" for my house. It hasn't quite burst at the seams yet. I know y'all are all waiting with baited breath to see what I bought today, it was veteran's discount day, after all, and I can't miss that 25% off.

So, my best treasure today is this wonderful crystal water pitcher. I believe it may be Waterford, y'all! And again, it may not be, but it is heavy, and I'm gonna pretend it's Waterford anyway. It looked all hazy on the shelf, but I knew it would look good after a good hot soapy bath!

$1.44

Isn't it beautiful!

Then I came upon this little cow creamer, that all of you have.....now I have one too. At $1.13, she was mine!

'Bout got a dang menagerie going on on this shelf!!

Next I found this whatchamacallit. It was $1.44.

This sweet pitcher with platter was next. I loved that it had the platter.

And it's french 'cause it's got the fleur de lis!

There were 2 pretty sets of bowls, but the other set was missing the fourth one, so I bought this one. I love the colors, and they will look good displayed for fall.

They were $1.13 each with the discount.

I think that is all I found today and spent a little over $11.00.

They are actually open until 9 p.m. If I hurry, I could go back! Y'all think I'm kidding.... I ain't! I'd go in a New York minute, if I didn't just hate too. They already think I live there.

I really am going to post something besides GW finds next! I promise!

Y'all come over to these parties:

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 ...
