Those Treasures I Mentioned

I promised to show my thrift store finds that I scored last week on my way to the doctor's office. I had left home early, so I had time to stop at one of our Leeds thrift stores that I hadn't visited in a while. I'm glad I did. I found three beauties.


Plates

As soon as I saw these cheery plates, I could picture them in the little white hutch in my office. And I was right. I love them there.

And this blue pitcher is perfect for my blue bedroom. When I have guests, I can fill it with pretty white flowers for my visitors to enjoy.

6a00d8341cbb0053ef0147e2a34b23970b-400wi Some of you asked where you could get one of the cute quilter's pins that I bought from a guild friend a couple of weeks ago. I finally have her e-mail address. So if you will e-mail me at suscleve@aol.com if you're interested, I'll send you her address so you can get in touch with her. Her name is Debbie.

I have so much on my to-do list, I don't know where to begin. The laundry alone could keep me busy all week I think. So I guess I best get to getting. Things are blooming and my spring allergies have followed right along on the heels of that cold I had. So I'm coughing and sneezing and blowing the old honker still. What I'd really like to do is crawl into bed with my book, but I won't. I'll get to getting. Bye for now.

Susan, I love the cherry plates you found. I found one in the thrift store in Pell City last summer. It's a Hallmark plate. I have cherries in my craft room and it all started with Mary Engelbriet fabric. From there I was hooked.
I hope the storms are not to bad today. Stay safe. Let's get started on our to-do list, seems we never get caught up. Have a blessed day.

Treasures, indeed!! I love the cheery cherry plates you found and that sweet blue pitcher is so very charming. Your blue bedroom is so pretty and is arranged in a welcoming and lovely manner. Well done!

Tomorrow AMIL go see one of her doctors and will pop into a neighboring quilt shop before coming home. Wednesday another medical appt. will take us near a new-to-us consignment shop and we're going there. I am so excited!!

Remember the best way to multi-task is to put a load in the washer, a load in the dryer, and take a nap!! Be good to you!

Hugs!

The blue pitcher I have one just like it. It was my Mothers's it has a little bowl that the pitcher sets in.
That pin cushion is to cute reminds me of going to Paducah kentucky in April to the national quilt show do you attend that?

We all have the coughing, sore throat and runny nose here.

You have a way of making thrift store finds looks so elegant. In my house, they just look like junk. I can never get the look quite put together. Well done for you!

Those plates are WONDERFUL! You KNOW I love red! And cherries are my FAVE! The blue pitcher looks PERFECT in 'my' room! LOL! Oh, how I want to visit and sleep in that beautiful, peaceful room! (If I DO, will I get to ride the stick horse, too? I LIKE that!) And the quilting pin is so cute! I don't quilt (more's the pity) but I think it would be good for ANY creative person! I hope she sells a ton of them!

Susan, I love your thrift store treasures! I shop thrift stores too and love the "thrill" of finding something special. Your blue bedroom is beautiful and looks like a relaxing place for your guests to stay. I think we got your AL storm here in SC the other night. It was a doozy.
Hope you have a good day today.

PS I like Barbara Anne's way of "multi-tasking"!

Susan,
I would love to know the thrift stores you shop at to find your great buys. I would love to go to them and look since I am that way so much.
Hugs,
Donna
