Beautiful Frames


This photo doesn't do them justice. They are animal prints from London. At first I thought I might just reuse the frames. Double matted and nice silver wood frames for $4.00 a piece. I brought them home and they are perfect in my study. My zebra rug, the animal theme, and now these prints. The room looks great. All for $8.00!

Time to Sell!

Ok, I decided to post these to Craigslist. I'll let you all know when they sell. If you are interested hurry to craigslist. They really are beautiful and mint condition. Great for an office just in time for Christmas!

Treasure wrapped!

 This beautiful wall piece was $3.00! Yes, I may just have to wrap it up. Would you mind if you opened it on Christmas day? I sure wouldn't.

Donation traffic picks up!





Great weekend for a run through at GW! It only takes a few minutes at this busy time of year. My CPA and yours encourages those last minute write offs. Go ahead and drop off your junk and see what you can find. The pasta set of 4 w/ serving bowl, $6.00. The basket is so pretty and great for storage or packing a GIFT, $4.00. The chicken will adorn a kitchen counter, $4.00. There's more but I'm out of time for today esp. if I'm to run through another GW!

Shabby Chic


There are some memories in this photo! Once again this is Ali's town home. She's my oldest daughter. We collected the platter's all over town for a "song". They make quite a statement on that little wall. Two more panels at the window purchased same time as the others.
She found the Chandelier on Durant Rd. and we painted it black one night, her vision! It had to be rewired since it was from the UK.
Her breakfast set she found on Craigslist. The rug I found at GW. She's so happy w/ the look and I cherish the memories
