I Changed My Mind and Repainted The Small Bamboo Organizer

Hi Friends, I'm so glad your here! 

Remember the small bamboo organizer I thrifted awhile back and painted it green and crackle it?

I thought the brown paint made it to dark, so I painted another two coats of kelly green over the entire shelf.

I think I like this better, I have thought about news print on the back of the cubbies, but

I'm happy with the way this small shelf turned out.

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a new purchase this week!

I've been watching this 4 pieces set of 'Currier & Ives' dishes for more than two months. They were priced at $3.00 to $5.00 a piece depending on the size.

***

Today I got the small set of 12 pieces for $4.00! 

4 - Dinner Plates

4- Bread and Butter Plates

4 - Soup Bowls

4 - Cup Saucers

Unfortunately there were no coffee cups

 

However, I had picked up a coffee cup a couple of months ago from my local thrift on half-price day.

So now I'm on the hunt for 3 more coffee cups!

I hope I have given you some ideas of treasures you can keep your eye out when thrifting.

Today, I'm so excited to share blooms in the garden.

I have lived in this house closed to ten years.

the five 'Lilac' bushes were planted up against the back fence of my yard.

The first year I planted a few perennials

'Purple Salvia' 

'Red Dianthus'

 'Lambs Ear'

this perennial will have small purple blooms in late Summer

the beautiful 'Irises' were transplanted from my previous home.

I really enjoy having perennials and bulb that bloom every year.

A few new addition to my cottage garden this year .....

Last summer I planted 'Allium' bulbs, gifted from a friend.

I experimented with a packet of wildflowers.

I can not wait to see what color these new wild flowers will be!

I'm so ready for summer!

Looking for Vintage Treasures - Weekend Thrifting

Hi Friends, I'm so glad you stopped by the cottage!

 I'm so excited to share a few fun treasure I found at my local Community Budget Center on half price day.

***

I bought a few books as you can see for 50 cent each.......

1st book - "The Holy Bible" is a few years old 

very pretty inside section for recording inportant family milestones

a beautiful picture representing 'Jacob's Ladder'

some fun vintage epemera pieces were also found in the pages

2nd book - "Nancy Drew" were the go to mystery read, when I was in Junior High. I read every book the library had.

"The Haunted Bridge" found a home with a very small collection of Nancy Drew Mysteries, I have.

3rd book - "Baptist Hymnal"

I've been looking for vintage Hymnal

to use for crafting and I have found two so far this year.

 

***

I was kind of a funny surprise to see the prices on the vintage insulators .....

the larger insulator was priced at $5.00 as is with a good size chip on the bottom. 

I didn't mind because I'm adding them on my fence post in the back yard.

***

Lastly,

I found a vintage glass decanter.

Not long ago, decanters use to be fruitful at the thrift stores, but once I've been on the hunt for reasonably priced decanter, there hard to come by. 

I'm hoping in the near future I'll be able to share an up cycle cabinet I brought home a few years ago
