Thift store Saturday

Once again here it is another hot Saturday and I was at the thrift stores!!
I headed out looking for certain items neither of which did I find.
I did find a pink Santa, pretty little mirror for my new bath( the mirror will be getting a new coat of pink paint). I found a brass quilt rack that will be painted white, the little white tea pot and creamer were 2.00 each and a milk glass lattice candy dish for 1.75.
We picked a color for the master bedroom, a light purple almost lavender color and I hope to get it painted tommorow as well.
My search for a small dresser to use a the bathroom vanity yeilded no result! I am going to hold off for now and when we finally put a new tub in then I will get the vanity as well. Mine isn't too bad I guess. I still will be on the lookout!!
I also made some faux cupcakes this morning, and just finished up two more.
Mikayla found some craft supplies at the thrift store and started on a holidays quilt!! Yes little Mikayla!! She is so very creative!!!

Milkglass and Tea cup birdfeeder

I started collecting milk glass. I just have a few pieces around the house (maybe 5 or 6) but my collection will grow over time!
It's always fun looking for certain treasures at the thrift stores!!
Yesterday I made the tea cup bird feeder too.
I found the spindle at the thrift store for only 1.00 and so I painted it white and added some pink, liquid nailed on the tea cup!! It adds some personality out there!!

Another house pic

Today I have added two pics. One being the wooden windowsill my hubby put up for me. We bought the house and it had marble windowsills and they weren't in great shape. Michael took it out and put in this pretty wood one. It looks so nice and of course I had to add some tea cups!!
The other pic I just threw together the setting on the side table and the little pink shelf I found at the thrift store for 1.00. I just added pretty pink paper to the back and some simple lace. The little plate hanging by the ribbon I found at Goodwill for 50 cents.
We are in the process of getting our master bathroom redone and I found a vintage light fixture for only 1.50!! I'll get some pics added of that too!!

My roses

These roses I made out of coffee filters. It was so easy!
I put red dye in lots of water to create a pink color and dipped the filters into the water. I let them dry then after that made the roses by scrunching the filters together and pulling them apart to make the roses. It was very easy and they came out pretty good I think.

A few of my favorite things...

I was just browsing thru my pics of the house and thought I'd make a post on some of my favorite things around the house!! We have so much work still to do and all of takes a great deal of time and money- two of which we never have at the same time!!
This weekend my master bath should be finished and then on to other things as time and money permit.
I have a huge wishlist of things we want for the house but probably wont get to until the kids move out!! LOL
Although the burgundy carpet is outdated it sure does hide kool aid really well!! I guess it will stay for a while!! :)

Pink frame

Here is another very simple project.
I painted the frame pink and just added pretty fabrics and papers in the slots.
Looks shabby and only took minutes to do. The hardest part was arranging the different pieces to see what I liked best.
I painted an old wooden magazine holder- pink of course and tommorow I will shabby it up too.
The kids are missing their friends from school and I am trying to so hard to entertain them!! It has been so humid!!
We are really looking forward to Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Ambers visit!!!
