Hello bloggy friends!
What an amazing fall day!!
beautiful clear skies, crisp air....
so lovely!!
Remember this post?
and this picture??
and this picture....
well......while on my home from an errand
this morning.....I thought I'd just pop into
the Goodwill Bins.....bright & early...
and look what I found!!
of course not nearly as nice as the above,
but what do you think???
it needs a bit of tlc, but I'm thinking it's
gonna be awesome in our
little dining room!!
here are a couple other finds from the last week
or two......
I have NOT decided what to do with these but
knew for the price....
I needed them....(there's 2!)
and this cute little tray
so now I need to get to decorating.......
yay!! I love finding fun stuff!! :)
ok....got a couple new pillows
to share with you
for the Linen Shoppe
this first one is made from a wonderful
nubby dropcloth fabric....
it's fabulous!
and I added another bird pillow....
this one is sweet with it's vintage birdcage
well enough show & tell for today, huh?
time for me to get back to work!!
Enjoy your week friends!!
btw....I LOVED Phantom of the Opera!!!!
I hate to confess such a thing, but I watched
it a total of 4 times over 3 days!
with myself
with 2 of my girls
with Mr. T & T and one of my girls
and with my friend and one of her girls......
{while working of course ~ gotta do something
while I'm sewing.....:) }
bye for now!!

Ohhh...and I know that the $10 sticker wasn't for THAT mantel!!! Darlin', I do believe that God was smilin' down upon you that day! Can't wait to see what you do with it and how it will look in your dining room!

Great Finds! Love the new pillows and after I read you were going to watch The Phantom of the Opera I decided it had been too long since I last watched it so I popped it in my dvd player too, Isn't it Great??!!
It is every bit as wonderful as the one in the picture!! What a find! I'm so happy for you and can't wait to see what becomes of these treasures!!
That is amazing! Who finds that kind of stuff at Goodwill?!! I can't wait to see it all "dolled" up.

You're kidding me, right?
You found that fabulous mantle at GW for TEN DOLLARS?
I may have to seriously reconsider our friendship now.
;-)
Great find on the mantle! Your pillows look beautiful as usual...
SHUT the front door Shellagh! $10 for that mantle?! I am so green right now. :D
You have NO idea how horrible our Goodwill is....such a bummer I tell you. I love all of your finds. Im sure they will look amazing in your home. Isnt it thrilling to find things on your wish list :) And for $10!!! XOX
Haha...I just noticed that Anne and I said the same thing. Silliness :)
I think if there was a competition out there in blogland for 'best find' you would win hands down! Love everything you found.. can't wait to see how you use them.. take care, Maryann
The fireplace surround is going to be fantastique!
Are you kiddin' me...10 bucks...that's the deal of the century....great find Shellagh.
The mantel is so gorgeous!! $10.00 what a find.That is going to look great decorated for the holidays.....Kathy
Oh my gosh!!! I cannot believe you found that mantle for $10!!!! WOW! It is GORGEOUS!!!! Is it plaster or stone? I LOVE it!!!! Great find! :)
oh, to be so lucky! :)
One question: Where the hell is that goodwill store? lol Never , ever would you find any of that stuff here... Great finds.
Wow! What great finds especially the mantle. It will look great in your home.
Carolyn
You did not find that mantel at the goodwill!!! After seeing the things that all you ladies find...I've determined that our gws stink! That is the find of the year - it's almost the exact same mantel as the picture. We have a freestanding in our dining room and it's my favorite thing in the whole house. I love changing it - almost weekly. :)
Can't wait till you show us what you do with it all and the 1st pic is now my favorite inspiration photo.
take care ~
Sarah
WOW! What an awesome find at a Goodwill! It's gorgeous! And so similar to the one in the photo... that's wild!!
Hi Shellagh....You must have a really nice Goodwill to find something like that beautiful mantle! How lucky was that! Love your pillows! I have not seen the movie/ musical "Phantom of the Opera"....I am going to have to check it out. I have only see the original old blk& white movie with Claude Rains! Have a good evening!~Hugs, Patti
Oh my gosh...can you stand it?! I LOVE Goodwill for exactly this reason! You never know what treasures you will come across. Amazing finds! Way to go girl!!
xo,
Kathleen
I think you were in the right place, at the right time!! Great find and I just know you'll make it look even prettier once you give it your magic touch.
Pretty pillows too.

Cath
Good heavens...I can't even believe this! You got that mantle for TEN DOLLARS?! And at Goodwill? Love it. You're one lucky girl :)
Shellagh, you scored! It's amazing how similar the mantels look. And $10.00 that's pretty amazing for Goodwill!
Debbie

Oh my goodness I can't believe you found that gorgeous fireplace mantle for $10.00!!!!! That is the deal of the century! Wow! I love thrift stores. It's like going on a treasure hunt!
Well, girl! You hit the jackpot with that mantle. Can you believe it? I would like to know who the heck is donating that stuff to your Goodwill...we get mostly c-r-a-p at ours...did I say that?
I KNEW you were going to love Phantom of the Opera- See!? Great flick, huh? Yeah-I loved it too! Hugs- Diana
LUCKY YOU!!!! Amazing find girl!! ;)
O well, I just don't know if I can like you anymore. These are amazing finds, and I'm a little jealous. ;0)

Your pillows are always stunning :)
Can't wait to see what you do with the mantle.

Absolutely beautiful
lovin' the windows as well...we sell window screens in the shop...just hinge those puppies together. Stop back at that thrift store and see if they will let you pick out a couple of old hinges from their "junk" box.
Happy Day Dearest...smile on Rosie
What a deal you got on that mantle! I cannot believe it was only $10! I had to look at that photo twice. It's beautiful. It was meant to be for you since you were just looking thorugh inspiration photos of the same. I love your new pillows!

Oh my goodness....I am having the most wonderful time reading your Blog! So much eye candy!
LuLu♥
Oh....my.....gosh!!!!! I think my chin is on the floor like all the other gals who commented here, Shellagh! I can NOT believe you found that mantel at GoodWill first of all....and for 10 bucks???? T.o.t.a.l.l.y. incredible!!!!! (psssst! Let me know if you ever get tired of it.....) lol! :)
xoxo laurie
Shellagh that mantle is incredible!!! What a bargain too, wow! It is going to be amazing in your home!!! Your new pillows are so lovely too :)
Hugs ~
:) T
WOW! I want to go to your Goodwill! We like the same things.
Let us know what you do with the windows.....I have 6 sitting on my back porch awaiting a project. smiles.
Shellagh,
Every bit as beautiful,(mantel) and the price makes it even better.
The doors I would not pass up as well. I would frame art in them and hang them on a great wall if to only use them in some sort of way.
I am sure you will find great inspiration for them!
Wow I never find these kind of deals, that California for you...Way to many shabby chic-ers here snagging everything up :)
xx
Dore
Unbelievable find!! Will be gorgeous in anyones dining room. I would have run to my car with it!
I cannot believe you found a fireplace at Goodwill. That is amazing. If one were to show up here...they'd want $200 for it. Really... so that's quite the bargain. I cannot wait to see how it turns out in your home.
Hi Shellagh,
I am in total shock at that gorgoeus piece that you found at the Goodwill for only $10.00!! It looks just like the one in the photo!
I can't wait to see what it looks like when you have it placed and fixed up in your home.
Just wonderful!
Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
melinda
SCORE!! I am seriously in lurve with that mantle oh yeah
alicia
The GOODWILL????? Oh my goodness... I go allll the time and have found some great things, but NOTHING like this. WOW.
Warm blessings,
Spencer
Awesome finds!
Hi Shellagh,
Great finds, and LOVE the cushions...you AMAZE me!!!
xojanis
Wow, absolutely love the mantle--and what a bargain price! Congrats!
Hi Shellgh, Thank you for visiting my blog. It's always great to meet another person who shares my first name -- especially with another unusual spelling. I love your blog. That mantle is a truly amazing find! I'm loving all the inspirations pics you've posted...especially the ones in the next post. Just visited your Etsy shop....those pillows are to die for. Looks like I'm your newest follower. Looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful creativity! ~Sheilla
