Fall Finery for the Jelly Cupboard

I spent a few hours going through home decor bins this morning, trying to weed out some of my crap treasures!

I emptied 3 out of about 20 bins, so a little progress.  Taking it to Good Will.  I would normally have a yard sale, but that's too much work for me right now.

I came across this faux bittersweet garland that I bought at a consignment shop, and decided to put it in the sun room on the little jelly cupboard that belonged to my mother in law.  I've shared it lots of times.  It's one of those places that constantly gets changed.




Yesterday, I put the turquoise frame back on top, draped a fringy good will scarf over it, and added a grapevine wreath.


The metal tray with the bird on it goes perfectly with the garland.




You can see my pitcher collection with the fall colors on the top shelf.

I added this little guy to a table top.  He came from Dollar Tree.


Nothing highlights an item like a cloche.  This one usually holds a bird, but this trio of pumpkins look so pretty inside it.


More table decor above and below.  These are in the sun room as well.

I love this GW teapot.  Perfect fall colors.


Hope you will join me at these link 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!

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 can all be seen
