Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

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 pre...

I showed you all the fabric I found at the Good Will here . That wasn't the only thing I bought.  This beautiful bowl was my other treasure @$5.22.  An employee was just putting out items, and this bowl was one of them.  A lady grabbed it the minute it went on the shelf.  I commented to her that she would certainly enjoy it.  She asked me if I wanted it, and I told her no, that she got to it first.  I didn't think any more about it, but on another pass down the aisle, I saw her put it back on the shelf.  This was a good while later.  So...... you know the rest!  It's mine! I didn't get a photo before placing the dried hydrangeas in it, but the photo above shows the inside of the bowl. At first, I placed a lot of hydrangeas inside.  But I later took the pink ones out and used them in the dining room. (I'll show you later).   Then I decided to only use the blue and white ones. I have this on the h...

I have no idea how old this bowl is because it belonged to my MIL.  It is marked McCoy on the bottom, and I know it's been around for a long time.  It is chipped, and I still use it, but for now I have it on the table in the breakfast nook. I plopped a pot of greenery inside it and used it as part of this tray vignette. I recently gave the tray a white wash.  Here it corrals the S/P, napkins, etc., on the breakfast table. I just love this old bowl.  I also have several that belonged to my Mom.  I will get those together for a post soon. This is a solid oak pedestal table.  I wish I could get up the nerve to paint it and the chairs.  Oh well..... Do you like chippy old bowls?
