Last week Beulah and I
just wanted to get out of the house
so we went for a drive
and ended up at a favorite thrift shop.
Where I purchased this
lovely hand embroidered table
cloth and four matching napkins
for $4.00.
Oh, these are the last of my
summer flowers :)
I'm going to miss having
fresh bouquets on the table.
Maybe you noticed that I
painted my kitchen chairs
white to match the
new paint job on the cabinets.
I still had a little bit of
white paint left over . . .
I also painted my bed . . .
I told you that I cannot be
trusted when there is a
can of paint around.
Well, I used every drop
of paint in that can.
I'll have to go paint shopping
if I decide to paint
anything else, LOL.
Back to the thrift store
I purchased this little
clipboard, also $4.
Here it is in the kitchen window.
And this painting . . .
also $4.
Four dollars must be
a trade mark for these
types of items in this store.
Our temperatures are getting
down close to freezing,
but until they reach that point
I'm enjoying fresh veggies
from the garden.
If you're still here
and not bored to death by
my post . . . thanks so much
for visiting.
Do you have a favorite
from my re-dos or thrift finds?
God bless you all . . .
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Bored by your post? Never!! I enlarge your pictures so I can admire your home and the various projects that you do so well. Cozy is what always comes to mind. You found such pretty treasures at the thrift store. Imagine how many hours of embroidering went into the table topper and it gets sold for a mere $4. That's why we haunt those thrift stores, right?
ReplyDeleteI know, I imagine that some sweet lady put a lot of time into making it and probably kept it all clean and ready for special occasions. Then something happened to where her children didn't want it or she had to downsize and it ended up in the thrift store. I love it and I'm glad that I saw it there because I think it looks lovely on my table.
