Say It Ain't So

Another collection!!!  Surely not!  It happened when I found this green five-fingered bud vase at Good Will.  Not something I would expect to find at Good Will, but nevertheless, I did.


It was a fabulous price, and I brought it home.  Then I went on Ebay.........yep, I did, and I found more....at great prices..... this blue one which is bigger, but of similar design.


and, this one, which is even bigger!



This one is huge and was chipped in shipping, but I've tried to repair it as best as I can and will use it.



They say that 3 of anything makes a collection, so just what I need, another one!  :)  This solid white one came from Good Will, and makes 4.  So I definitely have a collection started.  I love the uniqueness of this one.

Three are hand painted and made in Portugal.  The white one is unmarked.

Well, I found another unusual one at GW yesterday when I went in.  It isn't marked, and oh how I wish it were.  If anyone knows about this one, please tell me in the comments.



Handles with rings on each side.  I couldn't believe it!

So now there are five!!


All lined up in a row.....
Y'all know I really need another collection!  If I don't have a yard sale soon, I'm going to be overtaken by stuff!!






Really, somebody, please stop me!  
The solid white, and the blue/white are my favorites.  Which is yours?

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 ...
