A Second Hand Treasure

A trip to the Thrift Store (DI)

Always gives me a emotional boost. . .

I know for you non-junker thrifters, you just can't understand

Maybe it is the "thrill of the hunt"

Or maybe it is just finding something that makes you smile,

Or maybe it is finding a Second Hand Treasure

Well, here are a few things that made me

Smile

A cute Easter Egg Holder

Now just who says I have too many bowls?

How could I pass-up this pretty blue?

And PINK, oh, I must add them to my pink dishes.

I never pass-up Milk Glass. . . Oh, Never!

Look at the pretty design. . . . I already have a place for it.

Oh, but this is what made me SMILE. . .

These two adorable figurines.

This one is an original Precious Moments

This one looks like a Precious Moment

But she is not marked. . . still adorable and beautiful.

There was no way I would pass-up these little lovelies. .

When finding things at the second hand store you never know what 

The story is behind a piece. . . .

Notice the frame I have the Precious Moments sitting on?

Well, it was not that pretty when I bought it for 50 cents.

I took the glass out and behind it was a

Christmas card. . .  with envelope. . . . addressed to

Oma and Ompa VanKomen

That little frame had belonged to someone's

Oma, and Ompa

And they had framed the Christmas card.

I think the card looked like it was about 1950ish

I painted the frame, cleaned the glass put scrapbook paper

for the embellishment, and gently placed the card between the paper

and the back of the frame. I will preserve that story.

Maybe that is why I like to find second hand treasures,

Each piece has a story, it belonged to someone before it belonged to me.

That is a little like people

We each have a story behind us.

And some of us are

Second Hand Treasures!

Please do come back, I love your visits

Creating Beauty

This past week I have had

Several projects going.

It is so rewarding to finally complete a few things

And feel good about what I have created.

Keeping my home decorated and clean and inviting

Is a blessing and a privilege.

I thank God that He has given me the

Talents and abilities to Create and Accomplish so much.

A few of my creations this week

Spring will arrive in just a few days. . .
So I had better not waste the time the Good Lord has given me,
I will be Spring Cleaning  and Creating.
Hope you will come back to see what I have done!

Springtime Birds Are Coming Home

The Sun Is Shining!

It is Warm!

Spring is really coming!

Yes, I am happy today. . . a little sunshine is always good.

Today is Sunday and it is Beautiful where I live.

I know the month of March is fickle

But today she is showing a very good side.

I actually heard a bird singing this morning.

Oh, can it be?

I readied their little houses so they have a place to nest

Here among the ribbons and bows they will make their home.

Perched upon my blue table

Are the houses I made for them.

Birds are a sure sign of Spring.

The little houses are ready for their arrival

I hope they like what I have done for them. . .

I'll patiently wait for every little sign of

Springtime Birds Coming Home. . .

Another Cheap Table Painted

As you may know from previous pictures and posts

I have been with paintbrush in hand

looking for things to paint. .

Well, I had this cheap little two drawer table

I had bought at the thrift store

A few months ago.

Originally it was for my Granddaughter,
But, she wanted a different table.

So, I completed the 2 Drawer for me.

I wanted it to go here so my telephone could sit on it.

But it isn't as tall as I would like it to be.

You can see right around the corner is the

Turquoise table I painted and use as my

Table next to my chair.

Well, I thought maybe I could change places

With the tables. . .

It is a darling table, goes well in the living room

But,

I like my Turq table better for the purpose

Of being next to my chair.

Brought the 2 Drawer back to the end of the cabinets.

And it will have to do. . . . even though I think it is not tall enough

It will be a good spot for the telephone and

Serve as a Message Center for me.

(Must find a pretty flower to plant in pot)

Never fear I am still finding things to paint.

I will show you my next project soon.

St. Patrick Vigenette For Buffet

I have so much fun decorating my Buffet

Not only is it a beautiful piece of furniture in my home

But, it is fun to decorate.

I thought I would share with you the

St. Patrick Vignette. .

My little Shamrock Tea Set

Is the focus of the vignette.

I have one and so does my little St. Patrick Girl

My daughter. .

I recently painted the wood shamrock. .

It is so cute with the big green bow!

Another view of the vignette.

I like the idea of putting decorated scrapbook paper in a frame.

It makes a cute inexpensive "framed art".

Oh,  look at the Precious Moment

March Birthday Girl

She is off to fly her kite!

I have been so busy this week getting several things painted

And ready to show on my blog. . . . .

I hope you will come back to see what I have been doing.
