Tuesday's Treasures II

Today I am sharing my second hand finds from Good Will, Senior day, which is on Tuesday.  They also have a Veterans discount day on Thursday's which I qualify for from my late husband's service in Vietnam.

The table linens have been in short supply the last few times I've gone, but I did find this table runner that will work for fall.


The rug under my breakfast table has the same colors, so they are working well together.

I found this nice compote that is the centerpiece for this table.


I really liked this bowl, so I purchased it.  I might use it for succulents or an ivy.  I like the design.



Looks like I have the beginnings of a green bowl collection, purely unintentional.

The blue bottle is from Crate & Barrel.  I added a single burlap flower.  A good transition piece for fall.




I've been hitting the book section pretty hard recently.



I always like to find pads of paper for the desk.  Both of these were so pretty and still shrink wrapped.
I hit the jackpot in the fabric section.  I got all this fabric for less than $5.00.  All the pieces are multiple yards, and have no cut outs or anything. 


This fabric would make great art for winter, stretched over a canvas, foam board, of old frame.  It is also marked to use for making pillow colors.


This piece is the reason I bought this bag.  It will be lovely as art work.....maybe in my master, where I am using blues.  Just a thought.


This piece still has the tag on it, 3 yards. It is a wonderful fabric, and would make nice curtain panels.......maybe for the bonus room.


 These 2 pieces are juvenile patterns, but I am sure I could sell in a yard sale, or give to someone.
I'm sure there is enough of this to line a quilt, or make drapes for a little girl's room.

One other find was this small purse to use for my camera bag.  It's the right size to hold everything including the owner's manual.  It's a Longaberger.  So cute!!



So these are this week's treasures, total spent, less than $20.00.

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. ...

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 ...

Decorating Slump

I have absolutely had the hardest time deciding on how to decorate the dining room table for Thanksgiving.  I am not satisfied with anything I've done.  I'll show you the latest in a long string of 'tries'. Anyway, this is the latest try.  I bought six of these chargers at Dollar Tree, at $1 each.   I layered with this dinner plate and salad plate purchased from Wal Mart several years ago. I stopped there.  No decision yet on silver, glassware, or placemats/napkins.    I have the drop cloth/burlap runner I made last week on the table. I brought out this lovely cake stand bought at Good Will for $4.99.  It is centered on the runner.  I like the contrast between the leaded glass and the runner.  I placed the arrangement I made a few weeks ago on top of the cake stand. I added the two white candle sticks with white candles, leaf garlands, 2 small ceramic pumpkins around the cake pedestal, and stopped. I have to decide on ...
