Hi girls, I could hardly wait to show everybody my garage sale find!! I forgot to download my before pic of it but it was black so I painted it cottage white and they had already put chalkboard paint on it so it was perfect, I just love it! By the way it also has a message board insert that goes where the chalkboard area is, I still have to recover it with material, I bought this for $10.00 can you believe it! I think it's handmade, it's made so well and heavy. I put it above my fireplace in my dining room, I could also write my menus here or special messages for birthdays or any special occasions, it should be fun addition to my dining rm, now where to put the mirror I took down, hmmmm??
I bought these oh so cute teacups at Homegoods, they have a little red on them and I've been wanting to add some more color for Spring and Summer so these will be perfect somewhere (; and the book I picked up at Marshalls, love the colors on this too!
A sweet little Easter sign that I couldn't pass up (:
And last but diffently not least I bought these towels that I am in love with, I think I need more, lots more, see the beautiful edging on them (just in case you can't see it good, I took a close up below) they look handmade and how sweet are the cherries hanging on there!! I hope everyone is having a good week, I need to stay home, NO MORE SHOPPING, that's what I keep telling myself but some how my car always ends up at my favorite stores, I'm taking it to the shop for work tomarrow maybe I should tell them about this problem, LOL. Thanks for all the prayers and concerns about my knee, it is still giving me trouble but it is getting better. Big Hugs~Kelly
UPDATE~you can purchase the towels at www.homealamode.com

the other night on my blog, all of my posts disappeared and what stayed were some photos i took when i was painting my house. it looked like a blog post but actually wasn't. the pics are still there, just way below all the posts. that's the mystery of the home makeover post that never was. did that make sense?
enjoy your new treats, cutie!

ReplyDeleteI tried to leave a comment several times over the last week and it did not go through.
So I try yet again.
I really like all your treasures you found!
I pray your knee is feeling better and that your trip a few weeks ago was FUN!
Your manttle is just sweet and I love love the chalk board!
I also wanted to thank you for getting me started on my kitchen...it has been slow going. But that has been a blessing because it allows me to change my ideas on things I do.
I appriciate all the time you spent talking with me. As a momma of 6 kiddos that does not get out much your help with ideas meant a lot THANK YOU!
((((HUGS))))
Warmly,

Gosh I almost missed this post!! What a fantastic find!! You just gave me an idea with that piece for your fireplace. We have an old house with radiators and for some reason when I saw your cute fireplace I thought maybe I could do this look around one of them - do you think that would work?
ReplyDeleteI adore all the sweet towels that I see lately- that cherry one is just too cute!
blessings

ReplyDeleteI love your chalkboard, what a wonderful find for $10 bucks! Hope all is well in your world, give your darling bulldog a big kiss for me.

Take care, and I so enjoyed your post today!

Love the chalkboard and Love the cute towels!!! Who can resist a garage sale. Treasures. But here in the north they end about September. Then you have to hit the thrift stores. Which are just as fabulous as garage sales. You did good girl!
