Living Room Re-arranging and Newest Creation

Hello everyone!! Goodness, it's been over a week since I last posted.

Today I thought I would show you a couple of pictures that I took a couple of day ago of our Living Room ~ I did a little bit of re-arranging in there....there use to be a longer table in front of this window, but I moved it over by my chair, and placed the smaller table that was next to my chair, and also placed the vintage pink chair next to it....liking this look for now...

Notice how nice and sunny it is outside, but not so bright inside? That's because of our covered wrap-around front porch ~ LOVE our porch, but hate that this room doesn't get very good lighting in here..

Here's a little close-up of the pink chair....Love this chair!!

I've been collecting this beautiful pink and white vintage china for a little bit...today in the mail I got a set of 7 dinner plates (sadly one was broken), that I purchased on Ebay. Little by little I am collecting more pieces.....they are hard to come by, and often rather pricey.

Lastly, I thought I would show you my latest creation that I just listed today on Ebay...I really love creating these patchwork pillow covers, but they do take a bit of time to make....I think this one turned out really lovely, with all the soft light pink fabrics and vintage rose prints. There are a total of 16 vintage pink buttons on this!

UPDATE: This pillow cover is now sold ~ Thanks Julie!!

Until next time sweet friends!!!

A few Antique Treasures

Good Monday to all of you!

Today I thought I would share the things that I found while out doing a little Antique shopping with my hubby on Saturday ~ we celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary a couple of days early, since our actual Anniversary is today, the 30th, and lands on a week day ~ The plan was to spend the whole day out Saturday, but Friday afternoon, I began to not feel well at all, and wasn't sure if we would be able to do anything at all Saturday ~ so, when I got up Saturday morning, I seemed to feel "okay", so told hubby that we could just do something for half of the day ~ we ended up hitting some Antique shoppes around Muskegon & Grand Haven, Michigan, as they were only about an hours drive or so away. We did go out to lunch at Applebee's, which was really nice ~ still didn't have too much of an appetite, but did enjoy some of my Three Cheese Chicken & Penne pasta ~ the rest I brought back home with me, and had for lunch on Sunday...so all was good, lol :)

Here are the treasures that I found Saturday......first are these vintage sewing machine drawers, which we got both for just $8..... I'll be painting these white, of course, and will post pics once I have them finished.

Next is some wonderful Vintage lace trims.....my favorite is the crochet with the heart design....

Some Vintage glass buttons....Love these

Vintage Pearl buttons...

and even some Vintage pink pearl buttons....LOVE these!!

Below is a photo of a Quilted patchwork pillow cover that I started over a week ago, and FINALLY finished today....I've used some of the vintage pearl buttons that I found on Saturday to embellish on the pillow. It's now available for purchase in my Ebay shoppe ~ It will need a 14" pillow insert, which can be found at any craft or fabric store.

UPDATE: This pillow is now Sold

Have a wonderful week everyone ~ until next time sweet friends.....
