Projects, Home Goods Haul and Yard Sale Finds!

Good Evening!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! It is gorgeous here in Myrtle Beach! My hubby and I sat on the patio most of the day. I did however, take some time to do a little painting. I thought I would share the projects I did today.
Also, I did a little shopping at Home Goods this weekend, so I thought I would share the items I purchased there. Nothing Great but something to blog about!
I did not go to yard sales this weekend. But I had a few things to share from last weekend. I hope you all enjoy viewing my junk!!


Project Makeover!

This shelving piece was in my craft room and stored my embroidery thread. I decided to use it down stairs somehow. It use to be a light pine, so of course it could not stay that way. I used my trusted Oil Rubbed Bronze and gave it a make over!

The lamp and book on the top of the shelf use to be on the entertainment center in the family room. I have this pretty covered dish for years. I can not use it for food as it has been repaired. It is just so pretty, I wanted to display it openly.





I decided to display some of my teacups and saucers in this little cabinet.






Home Good Haul!

We burn lots of candles in this house. So I am always and forever purchasing candles. I re use the jars to store my craft bits and pieces.
My kitchen is decorated in red. So when I saw these towels and dish clothes they had to come home with me. I have seen microfiber towels but the only colors I have seen them in were neon colors or white. I love the design on these towels. I plan to display them in a basket on my counter top.







Isn't this the cutest little bunny! I love that it has purple to match the rest of the Easter deocrations on the dining table. It has the word lilac written on the body. It is all glittery,and I love glittery.







Yard Sale Finds!!


You gotta love free! This was sitting in the mix of a bunch of card board boxes. I spotted it and ask the man if it was for sale. He said I was just going to throw it away, If you want it just take it!!
It was brown wicker with the metal part black. I did not like the black with the brown, so of course I painted it oil rubbed bronze. I don't have a clue how I am going to use this, or where I am going to place it. For now it is sitting against my kitchen wall.







This is an Avon Bottle, I don't know if perfume or men's cologne was in the bottle. It is a lantern. I was planning to pain the gold parts with oil rubbed bronze. But after thinking about it for awhile. I decided to leave it gold. It was fifty cents at the yard sale.





Those of you who read my blog regularly, know that I love beaded purses. This one was a dollar at a yard sale.

  18. What a haul. I love the FREE wicker tray table. I know you will find a fabulous place to use it. The beaded purse is lovely. I need to follow you around, you are a bargain magnet.
    I think you tea cups look beautiful on those shelves. I am thinking you like those better than the thread.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Ginger
