Restyled Sundays #41

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

It has been another busy week, but I think we are beginning to feel human again.

We haven't even begun to dig our way out of the storerooms yet, but a little rest has done us

all alot of good. My brother headed back to California and I really miss him. I cannot imagine

getting through these multiple moves without his help! Tomorrow is Father's Day

and I am so blessed to still have my father here to share it with. He will be 90 in September,

so I will cherish each holiday with him.

I want to share the things I picked up at the only antique mall I made it to on our vacation.

We were in Harrisonburg, VA and I found an antique mall to wander through. They had so many

great things in there, but this is all I came out with.

I love this little poodle salt and pepper shaker set!

I already had a set like this, and did not realize they didn't match

until I took this picture.  I think they are so cute someone else might enjoy them.

My grandfather always had one of these folding rulers in his pocket.

There are so many cute things you can do with these.

I know you can't see the embossing on this bottle, but it

says Stars and Stripes forever.

And, you know how much I love blue and white. this little

cup was only 3.00 and I could not resist.

Now, let's see what you all shared this week. My favorites are...

Miranda at Pressing On took a little bit of ASCP and created

a beautiful side table.

Pam at Our Adventures in Home Improvement has the

handiest husband who made this cabinet to replace their kitchen desk.

You have to see how this garden shed used to look!

Kathe with and e and her husband moved and updated it.

This little cabinet is now a fireside beauty thanks to

Suttons Daze. Be sure to check out the before.

Now let's see what you have been up to this week.

Thanks in advance for linking up!

Tuesday's Thrifty Treasures

                                                               I'm BACK!!!

I didn't fall off of the face of the earth, but I did get a little overwhelmed with life for the last two weeks. We had soo much going on that I couldn't get any projects done, let alone find time to blog. I  didn't even go into one thrift store until last Saturday. Therefore, no Tuesdays Thrift Treasures last week.

I have to share one of the reasons I was busy, because it was too cool! We went to an Indian Wedding!  Indian weddings last for several days and it was all fun, but the best part was the Henna Tattoo Party. A dear friend of mine's son was getting married, so my daughter and I decided to get in on the fun with the rest of the family.

 

Now don't judge the condition of my nails, but this was a day or two after we had them put on. They fade away gradually and will last 2-3 weeks before disappearing completely.

The Henna tradition is mainly for weddings and the bride has the most intricate designs, but all of the women are invited to Mendi Night. The designs are for beauty and blessings.

I'm sure I will probably never get to do this again, but it sure was fun. 

Ok, now on to my Tuesday's Thrifty Finds.  The DAV store in our area has a once a year sale, 98 cents for each item, not including furniture or electronics.  So we managed to find $62  worth of these items. I won't bore you with all of them, but these are some of my favorites.

                 A spoon rack that is going to become a jewelry holder. Watch for an update on this one.

I love these pans. They are ceramic lined with a splatter design. Does anyone know what they are called?

Sotheby's Encyclopedia of Porcelain. What an education for 98 cents!

I love blue and white as you have seen before and I also love little dutch shoes. These were also 98 cents for the pair and the next day I saw one shoe at an estate sale for $38, Wow!

Last but not least, I found these two chairs on Craigslist for $20 (for the pair).  They almost perfectly match the chairs in my Black Duncan Phyfe set that I repainted in June. I figured that if I added two more chairs to the set, someone would grab it up! With the holidays approaching (yikes) tables and chairs will be selling!

On a different note, I am quickly approaching 100 followers, yeah!

I am going to make this a linky party and have a giveaway for the first party. Tell your friends to come on over, hopefully we will start next week!

I am linking to these great parties, be sure to check them out as well:

Tuesday's Thrifty Treasures

I had to endure another weekend with no thrifting. Life has been too hectic to get out and shop lately, as well as things have been moving a little slow lately at the booth.   So once again, I am sharing some of the treasures I have come across in the last few months that I don't think you have seen yet. All of these have sold recently and I thought you might enjoy seeing them.

 This vintage stereo cabinet was my mom and dads. Perfect for those album collectors with a retro feel.

Loved this granny square afghan that we found at Goodwill!

This cute french provincial desk sold before I could get it home to paint it.

This table and chairs was the same story. Left it at the booth until I had a place to bring it home to, and it sold.

Some of my favorite glasses from my father in laws attic.

Very old juice glasses.

Vintage Indy 500 commemorative glasses from 1959.

The dome from a wedding clock. Perfect as a cloche!

Thanks for looking. As soon as I hit 100, I am starting a linky party so you can share your favorite finds.  We are getting really close! Ask your friends to come and join!

Tuesday's Thrifty Treasures

I didn't get to do any thrifting this weekend. I feel like I am in withdrawal.

So I am showing you a few things I have collected recently that I haven't shared yet.

My mom picked up this lovely asian print at an estate sale. There is something so sweet about these dogwood branches and the little bird. I sort of claimed it and hung it in my entry way for now.

To feed my wicker obsession, I couldn't resist this wicker couch for $95.

It will look brand new with a little paint and some new cushions.

I bought this antique cradle when I opened my first booth.

 I love it but have decided I need to part with it.

This adorable cigar box purse was on the shelf at Major Thrift.

Too cute!

This trunk came from another dealer closing out.

I only paid $20.  Yeah!

From Goodwill, I have plans! New paint and new fabric will bring it to life.

And last but not least. A very old cradle that some one decided to glue lace to.

Lot's of projects on the waiting list.

Tuesday's Thrifty Treasures (Formerly Monday's Treasures)

I am finally giving in to the fact that Monday's are too crazy for me. I actually don't work at my day job on Monday's, which means I stuff the day full. Full of errands, full of appointments, full of everything. And apparently, too full to blog! I have a hard time realizing that I can't do everything, but, I still like to try. I have decided that I am not going to beat myself up about it, I am just going to change it. From now on, we will have Tuesday's Thrifty Treasures. I really would like to make it a linky party, but I am not sure if there is enough interest.  Tell me what you think, would you all like another place to link up? I also would love to do a giveaway each week for the most unusual thrifted item you share. How about it? Leave me a comment. Let me know what you think!

Before I share this weeks treasures, I have to tell you about what my daughter and I did yesterday.
We went to our first storage unit auction!  It was so fun. We are both addicted to Storage Wars on A&E.
When I was looking on Craigslist this weekend for Estate Sales, I found a post for a storage unit auction close by. I called her and we decided we had to go.  It was scheduled to start at 10:00 am Monday and we were there by 9:30, along with about 20 other cars. We promised each other not to bid, this was a chance to observe and learn. We should have bid. They auctioned off 8 units and the most expensive one went for $180 and the one with the most furniture went for $30. It had 2 french provencial dressers and numerous other pieces that we could not tell for sure what they were.  If that was all there was, we would have jumped on it, but it was a 10ft x 30ft unit with boxes piled to the ceiling. We just didn't have a plan to get everything out of there.  But, now that we know they go for reasonable prices in Kansas, we are making plans for the next one.

Now onto my thrifty treasures.

I bought this beautiful little antique rocker with a carved back for $7.50 from another dealer's closeout sale.

It's going to get a beautiful makeover.

This old (1960's) Winnie the Pooh book and very old interlock letters came from an Estate Sale that had to be 95 degrees inside. It was miserable, so I didn't stay long, but did grab these two things before I fainted.

This cute yellow pitcher and sweet little bust came from a Goodwill I don't normally get to.

I think they are both so sweet.

I love this little poodle I found at an Estate Sale.

And last but not least, my favorite little helper is displaying one of two

Couroc plates I found at the same sale.  (Isn't he doing a great job?)

Thanks for looking and I can't wait to read your comments!
