Vintage Silver Vase: Friday's Find #336


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Unfortunately, Texas is among the states with a spike in coronavirus cases. Sadly, I'm not surprised, as our "reopening process" was aggressive. Suffice it to say--I'm not out thrifting, but I do have a single vintage treasure to share with you today...

Last week, when I loaded up my car with storm debris, I found this vintage silver vase that had been overlooked.  I remember picking it up from a winter yard sale for $1...it must have been in January, since I haven't been to any sales since the pandemic.

I kept a box in the back of my hatchback that I decided to reuse for debris, and when I pulled it out, the pretty vase was hiding under a quilt! Likely, the day I bought it, I had multiple grocery bags to bring in and it was overlooked. Has anyone else done that?

Even so, it was a nice treat to "find" waiting in my car, and even lovelier with a thrifty grocery store bouquet! I love the patina and ornate details.

Upcycled Floral Swag Basket: Fridays at Home

Hi there, Friends! As I shared last week when I highlighted Secret Garden Herbs,  I have been selling mostly seeds during the pandemic. I use note cards to mail out my seed packets and recently purchased a mega pack online to avoid running out. You know that I'm all about pretty storage, so today I'm sharing how I  shopped my home and paired previously purchased finds: a clearance basket and a yard sale floral swag to create this lovely card caddy.

Yard Sale Sewing Basket to Repurposed Christmas Tree Stand: Friday's Find #314


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! At the beginning of the month, I attended a neighborhood yard sale. Does anyone else get a little giddy after parking curbside and anticipating several sales on the same block? At one of the first sales I visited, I saw this vintage sewing basket. I inspected it closely but then walked away because I couldn't think of the  "right" place for it. However, it only took me a few minutes to go right back to the $5 find and tell the seller I wanted it. This was one of those times a piece "spoke" to me before I was inspired how to use it...

Happy Monday, Friends! This spring I've been taking inventory in my home, mostly considering what's working and what's not. I want my rooms to be beautiful and functional, which is why after recently painting my bedroom, I was inspired to rearrange and edit to create a floral inspired office nook. Soon I'll be sharing the rest of my bedroom refresh, but first I wanted to share one of my updated projects for the room...
