Goodwill finds

Hubby and I went to Goodwill today...look at all my finds!! I know, I know, I haven't done anything with the other finds that I have pictured on here. The weather is just not cooperating with me so I can get out and spray paint those items! It's either too cold, or too windy............or I'm being lazy...LOL! I would love if someone could tell me what the tall thing with the long stick is. I haven't a clue. I thought maybe at first, a rug beater?? I bought the picture frame as it's a bubble frame and I love those to put vintage pictures in.

I also now have one of those little Spring Thyme buckets listed on Etsy. Got a couple more painted up. These have different flowers in them though. You can click the Etsy button on the right to go and see what I have for sell in my shop. Thanks!!

Back to the estate sale we go...lol!

There was a desk there I saw yesterday that I really wanted but it was marked $75.00 and I really didn't want to pay that much. We decided to go back today to see if by chance it was still there and it was!! The prices today were all negotiable so we were able to get it for 40.00!! And then anything that was under $50.00 was 1/2 price so we were able to get this chair for $25.00! It looks a lot better in person. For some reason every pic that I took, it came out blurry.

My goodies I found at an estate sale today!

It's a beautiful day here in Nebraska so hubby and I decided to go to an estate sale not far from us and the following are the goodies that I came home with.











Not sure what I'm going to do with it all yet though. The bigger wood items, I may spraypaint black and distress them. Any ideas, let me know! Thanks!!

Me again...lol. Well I didn't get any painting done today. Ended up going to Michael's! And it was probably a huge mistake as I spent way too much money. But hey, it's my birthday and I have that right, right??? Pizza will be here soon and it's about time for my one "once-a-month beer"...lol! Thanks all for the Birthday wishes!!

Birthday

Today is my 48th birthday!! The sun is shining, somewhat warm and it should be a great day! I got some nice Victoria Secret panties from DH...lol! Like he will ever see them...ha! My son and his wife are bringing over supper (Pizza) tonight so looking forward to that. Hopefully I can get some painting done sometime during the day.

Has Spring arrived?

Today was a gorgeous day and tomorrow promises to be even better. I have some lily's that are starting to sprout and also my tulips are coming up. Sure hope that we don't have a freeze. Hopefully it's beginning to feel like Spring where you are! Have a wonderful week!!

Swap gift is done and ready to mail!

I have finally gotten this cute little paper mache bucket painted up. It was painted with another design by Susan Burd, again in the newest Create & Decorate magazine. I'll be sending some other goodies along with this. I sure hope she likes it!!







The weather is warming up here, hope it is for all of you!! We are going to a craft show and then to Sears to buy a new wash machine and a new refrigerator on Saturday!! Have a great weekend!!

New stuff

It's really cold here in Nebraska today with ice and snow and the wind is really howling!! I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and found this awesome wooden tray, not sure what I'm going to do with it but it looks old. I might rough it up some more though.



I also got this 2 bisque plates done yesterday with a design by Susan Burd. The designs are in the newest issue of Create & Decorate and you can get the plates from Susan at her website:

She has lots of other great pattern's and painted items also!! Check her out!!





I got the easels from Hobby Lobby also and just roughed them up also.

I have also been working on a swap gift for a forum that I am in. Daughter and gs have arrived and will be here until Sunday so not sure how much more I will get done while they are here.

Everyone keep warm and have a good week!!

Well it's been a couple of days since I have posted. I have been painting. I am doing a couple of plates with designs by Susan Burd on them. The design is in the new issue of Create & Decorate. I just love Susan's design's!

I also got this in the mail yesterday...I just love it!



I also thought I would post a picture of my car which I love! Was finally able to get it washed today. As you can tell in the background of the picture, our snow that we got Friday and Saturday is just about gone! Our temp hit 70 here today but more cold weather is on the way!



Well that's all for tonight....hopefully I'll get those plates finished up over the weekend and get a picture posted.

Have a great weekend everyone!

2 post's in one day???

Just wanted to post some pictures of the snow that we got Friday night and also some picture's of my cat...Spaz...in his new playing and sleeping spot.

I need help...lol!!

My awesome hubby bought this cool sewing machine for me today!! I guess I will be taking on another craft...ha! When will I ever find the time...all I do all day is nothing...LOL!!





NOW, my problem is......just where am I going to put this to use it???? Look at the pictures of my room....I have no spot for another table. The table that I do have is actually a sewing desk, which I could use, but I have my computer on it and it is also my painting table. So even if I use that desk, I would still need a table for my painting.







So....I would appreciate any idea's that anyone might have!!
Thanks!!!
