Estate Sale Finds!

Happy Labor Day!  I’m actually working for awhile today, but then I’m going to come home and make myself relax.  Today I want to share a few things that I picked up from an estate sale last week!  First up, a pair of mounted animal horns.  The guy I bought them from asked me if I was going to make knives out of them.  He said lots of people do that.  I told him of course not, I’ll probably hang them in my dining room.  He looked at me kinda funny.  Anyway, I also snagged the two vintage brooches pictured beneath the horns.  One is  gold leaves and the other is a yellow fabric rose.

Papered Bottle Vases

I saw this DIY project in Redbook last month and had to share it with you.  Simply take 5-7 glass bottles and remove their labels.  Using glue dots from Michaels and heavy-stock wrapping or scrapbook paper, you can create these lovely bottle vases.  They are so cute on their own, they only need a few blossoms!    Use these to jazz up a side table or as a centerpiece for your dinner table.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Bargain Bin: Fun Folding Chairs at Target


2010 06 28 14.16.22 Bargain Bin:  Fun Folding Chairs at Target

On a Target run yesterday, I found these fun and fabulous folding chairs.  Aren’t these so much more interesting than the standard black metal ones?  These are so cute , I’d actually WANT to pull out the folding chairs, and not just because I had to!  Anyway, they are under the ReStyle label and are only $9.99 a piece.  You heard me right!  Now that’s a bargain.
