A couple days ago (the now infamous
McD day...) the girlies and I went to Goodwill.
I promised to share with you what I found....
I know, you thought I forgot...
I didn't...
So here goes... this is what $13.50 will buy:
Two Felt Pillows... $1.99 each
(Sophie...priceless)
I will pack these away for next Christmas...
Even though they are not exclusively Christmas, I didn't have as much luck at the post Christmas sales as I usually do, so it will be nice to "find" these in my Christmas bins next November.
FOUR washable dupioni silk 84" long curtain panels... $1.99 each!
I love this fabric and was thinking of taking these apart to make a new duvet cover...
They don't really work in this room as curtains, and it doesn't look like it in this photo,
but there really is a lot of fabric here.
What do you think?
(I seriously want to know... spill...)
Close-up of fabric...
Because I can.. I guess..
I wish you could touch this... it is really good quality.
Three "Buffalo China" dessert plates .49 each
I am a sucker for dishes, but these I have plans for...
I'm thinking of hanging them on the wall...
We have a little spot behind our door that always looks kinda empty,
and I think these would be fun there.
Plus I like things hung in threes...
Ready for a mid make-over sneak peek?
This is the plate next to the new paint...
It is a deeper color then it looks here, but you get the idea.
Yes,
I noticed every thing I got was red & white....
I wouldn't read too much into it...
Yes, red is my favorite color...
but this was just what I found that day.
Girlie finds:
AL: 2 ae blouses, a ralph lauren "red label" skirt & a black cotton blazer all for $6.79
KK: a gap black cable knit sweater (new with tags) $4.29
Overall a very successful trip...
if only lunch that day had gone so well....
Re-do Update:
Still no Headboard... 3 thrift stores, 2 indoor flea markets and 6 asthma attacks later
I am starting to think about making my own...
but not yet...
Embarrassing story of the day:
(because you love them...)
I started a new Christmas scrapbooking project.
Let me explain... a couple years ago a snow globe broke in a bin of Christmas decor & ornaments, and it molded... big time! We lost a lot of memories all at once, so I decided to take a picture of all of our ornaments before I put them away this year. I have these cute 6"x6" holiday albums I bought last year just for this...(I know, you are blown away by how on top of things I am...) Anyhow, I sat down with my camera and started the slow process of photographing each ornament..
This was my first photo:
This is KK's "special" ornament from 2002
She was really into fairies and mushrooms that year...
I didn't like the glare and was having a hard time focusing,
so I moved the ornament...
and it smashed into about 20,000 pieces approx. 2 seconds later...
Yep...
When all was said and done and my
"Photo Shoot Path of Destruction"
was complete, we had lost EIGHT more "special" ornaments...
at least I have the photos....
