Happy Veterans Day! Today I have a really special project to share. And since I grew up an Army brat, this one is near and dear to my heart. Usually I share projects I make for my friends. But this time I was contacted by a friend who was making the bag for one of her friends. She wanted some help on construction so I documented our process to share. I love this idea and…

Welcome to a stop along the Card Creations Week Top Ten Blog Hop! This is a fun blog hop showcasing the top eleven product lines of the season and giving away products from each of these lines--more about that toward the end of the post! I've had an opportunity to look through the Card Creations Volume 8 issue and I loved it; it's chock full of great ideas and trendy cards, a fabulous resource for card makers. I was lucky enough to score a package of October Afternoon's Thrift Shop line, one of the ones that I had on my "to buy" list right after CHA this past January. I have had so much fun with this line; it has bright colors, but it's still playfully vintage, a perfect combination, in my book! It comes in both 12" x 12" and 8" x 8" sizes and has numerous great little...
I found a local thrift store that has lots and lots of clay pots for .29 to $2.25 in all sizes from tiny to huge. Would love to see pics of all your wonderful and adorable creations using them before I start buying and can't figure out what to do. Thank you everyone.
Last week, my son and I had appointments with our doctor, who is located in another town. Another town means—you guessed it—another thrift store. I decided to stop for some groceries after our appointments, and spotted a small Salvation Army store in the next plaza. Who can resist? Luckily, my son was agreeable to a little shopping trip. Of course, he was compensated with some goodies too. As I mentioned on Saturday, I decided to incorporate my new finds into my home fairly quickly because we were having a party and I was tidying up for company. On Saturday, I asked you to spot my new thrift store find in the picture of a corner of my family room. As Tabetha guessed, the lovely blue pottery pitcher is my favourite new décor item. It happens to be a piece of Blue Mountain pottery, like the pottery my mom recently gave me. I paid $5.99 for it. I didn't realize that it was Blue Mountain pottery when I bought it, because it has different markings on the bottom (three trees and the word "Canada"). The antique bookcase on which it now sits was my grandmother’s. The wall art is from Homesense. The picture frames were also thrift store finds that I wrote about here and here. I love to mix new stuff with old stuff in our home. The new stuff keeps the look fresh, while the old stuff gives the house some personality. I also found this happy trio of items—a little jug made in France, a small bowl and a cute side plate. The plate is Barker Bros. Royal Tudor Ware Ironstone. Whatever…I just love the orange flower! I went with a sort of yellow/orange theme on the side table in our dining room, using these new finds and the pottery from my mom. My son scored this vintage globe. We had one just like it growing up. I am borrowing my son's globe at the moment, for the family room coffee table. He also took home this Slinky (which got temporarily confiscated when he brought it to school) and a little lantern he wants to use for camping. He got some cool Converse running shoes that don’t quite fit him yet too. I also got this tealight candle holder (with all of the candles in it). This definitely isn’t vintage, but I will make good use of it. It’s from a store I won’t mention, since their area rug destroyed my hardwood floor. How about you? Are you doing any decorating this week?

Back before Christmas, my friend, Bebe, created winter scenes in a couple of old gumball machines. They were adorable! So when I saw this metal gumball machine at a thrift store, I bought it thinking I would save it for next Christmas. But, I decided, why wait for Christmas? I wasn't in love with the lime green, so I painted the green metal with Dixie Belle Mineral Chalk Paint in the color Vintage Duck Egg. Dixie Belle paint will adhere to any surface with no prep work! They advertise it as being easy peasy, and they're right! After 2 coats of paint, I opened up the gumball machine and placed a nest inside that I made using straw packing materials. Then I placed 3 faux eggs into the nest. After all, it is officially Spring and the birds are busy building their nests I'm going to enjoy my gumball nesting machine through summer. And, just maybe, I'll change it up for Christmas when the time comes. If you're ever in the cute little town of Senoia, Georgia, go visit my friend, Bebe at her store, The Good Junk Company!
