More Great Finds at Good Will

I didn't make it to Good Will for my usual Tuesday Senior day. So I went today, and am so glad I waited. If this wonderful pottery had been out yesterday, it would be in someone else's home right now, but it's in mine. I have 3 pieces, all by the same artist, K. Brown. I can't imagine someone donating this, rather than selling it. No cracks or chips, perfect condition. There were several more pieces there, but I was really trying not to spend so much money. Here's what I bought.

The vase is a piece of the pottery. I also bought the picture frame and put a print from the computer in it.

This piece was also by the same artist.

This pitcher is the other piece I bought. It matches the vase in the first photo.

I also found this small flower pot.

I couldn't believe it, but I found another tulipiere vase.

I now have 6 of these. This one was $2.52, in excellent condition.

So my items for today, 3 pieces of pottery, picture frame, flower pot with fleur de lis, tulipiere vase. Total: 17.28!!

Thanks for stopping by!

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. ...
