~look what I found!!~

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!!


xo,

  28. 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 ~

  55. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  56. 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 :)

  57. Unbelievable find!! Will be gorgeous in anyones dining room. I would have run to my car with it!

    ReplyDelete
  58. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  59. 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

  64. 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
