Quick & Easy Project

I wanted to share a project that is cheap, quick, and easy!!!

I found this bowl at a thrift store over the weekend.

It cost me a whole $1.00.

I found this candle stick. I guess it's supposed to be a candle stick.

It was $.50.

 I love this glue!! It's perfect for glass and ceramics.

Sold in the craft section of Wal-Mart.

This is what a local florist used...if it's good enough for a florist....it's great for me!

                                             Ta Dah!!! A cute bowl for spring and summer....

in the perfect shade of  Blue? Green? Bluish-green??

It was super easy and cheap....my kind of project!!!!

A Little Spray Paint....Goes A Long Way

I finally finished a couple of projects!!!! It's about time!! First, this gold piece I picked up. It was $.50 so I didn't have a whole lot to lose. So I experimented with it!!

I was inspired by this graphic from Graphics Fairy.com

                            A coat of paint.....I drilled a hole in each side to hang prisms from.

 I also added some vintage sheet music to the top. I thought about ribbon and roses.....may be a little much. I'll leave it as it until I decide.

Here is another before and after the little touch lamp. I liked it gold but.....

                              I heard the spray paint calling my name...(it was already out and all).

                                       Here is the after!! It looks so good!! I even surprised myself!!!

More Yard Sale Finds

I thought I would share the other things I picked up last Saturday. There still weren't many sales to choose from....I guess with graduation being that weekend. I managed to find several things, like this comforter set. It came with the comforter, bed skirt, pillow shams, and several decorative pillows....a bargain at $15.00. I think it will be a warm look for winter.

 I also found my youngest daughter this Coach knockoff!!! Perfect size for my new middle school er

(where has the time gone) !!!

It was a whopping .50!

A bag full of something for $1.00?

Hmmm, very interesting!!!

It was an entire bag full of spice jars!!! Perfect to hold glitter, and buttons....don't you think?

With an entire bag full the possibilities are endless!!!

That's it for last weekends finds!!! I'm debating on going out this weekend or waiting......I'm trying to be good and not bring any more junk home but.....it's getting more and more difficult!!! We'll see how long I can hold out (I'm betting not very long)!!!

Happy treasure hunting!!!!

Glitz & Glamour

Glitz & Glamour.....don't you just LOVE glitz and glamour? I love it all. Sometimes it's just nice to think about all of the rich and famous and how they are surrounded by it all the time!!!! For White Wednesday I thought I would share some of what it means to me......

                        like jewelry, feathers, and embellishments on clothing!!! Feel like a star yet?

                 Of course we must include chandeliers and crystal!!! Drippy crystal's are so glamorous!!!

 What about glitter and sparkles, shiny fabrics, details on mirrors and picture frames, and monograms!! Who doesn't love a monogram!

                            When you combine them all together!!! Lots of Glitz!!! Lots of glamour!!!

Then you mix it up with sepia tones!!! Very glamorous....wouldn't you say?

Well, the running joke in our house is.....my attention is out the window if I see something that shines and sparkles. It's so true!!!! I can spot something shiny or sparkly from a mile away!!!!

A Few Finds

I found a few little things while out on Saturday. There weren't very many sales but I did manage to find a few things. I love this first piece and can't wait to find the time for a makeover!!! I see white paint in it's future. It was a bargain at .50.

                     I had been wanted to buy some cork board....I'm so glad I waited.....3 squares for .75!!!

                         A liscense plate???? I'm not sure!!! I bought this for my daughter....it was .50!!!

This was a great find....recycled paper!!! I've already used half of it for an end of the year project to hand out to all of my daughter's teachers. Well worth the .25 for all of these sheets.

                                     I just can't pass these up especially at this price......50 cents!!!!
                                                                My collection is growing!

 I love this lamp. It was a splurge at $1.50 (compared to everything else)!!! I thought about a paint makeover but, it's kind of cute as is!!! Hmmm, I'll have to think on this one a little longer.

Well, that's all for today. I have more to share later in the week!!!!

It was new....my mom took it and added all of the tulle, and the strip around the middle. I made the flower and added the brooch. I love everything.....the dress....the jewels....and the boots!!
