Score More...

I have been dealing with kidney stones since Wednesday night... Completely out of commission... This morning feeling more human, decided to get some needed shopping done and some Goodwilling.... I hit the motherlode at Goodwill today! It's been a while...

My first purchase was this lamp shade, I bought it because I could feel a the frame underneath and plan to do this....

This lamp shade frame photo is in the studio of this creative lady... I LOVED the idea and had to get a shade of my own! I hope to someday meet her, she lives in my town and creates AMAZING jewelry!

Found this mason jar holder

music platter, I have the matching plate

Scored on this bedding, on line this quilt sells for $195.00
The dust ruffle $230.00

an Americana pillow, that will go in the boys room

Ikea curtain panels {HUGE, like sliding glass door size}
Love the fabric and think it would make a fun summer quilt and an apron or two!
Vintage sheet
Musical thing a ma do... I will paint and hang in a collage of other musical items!

6 fall napkins, do you see the ACORNS??
Circle lace doilie...
I had fun, and it was nice to move around with no pain...
Now, I MUST, MUST, MUST get my house into shape as the kiddos go back to school Tuesday!

    love all the crzy home decor projects you have been doing. Painting a floor-really? YOu are way better than me. So sorry about the sucky kidney stones. They say that those are comparable to labor. Is is true? I am loving the lamp shade idea. I think that too will copy. What would we do without the blogging world to borrow ideas from and claim as our own when people ask where they came from. :) (maybe I just do this)

    I have never had kidney stones but I hear they are quite painful. I am glad you are feeling much better.

    You scored some FABULOUS finds at your GW store!!!!! Ours NEVER has anything that good! I LOVE everything!

    I can't believe your kids go back to school so quickly. Mine starts on Aug. 19th.

    Such great finds. I can't believe we don't have a Goodwill near us. I love the quilt and bedskirt, the Ikea curtains and can't wait to see what you make with them. It's amazing that those things look like they're new.

    Looks as though you have a wonderful thrift store. You found some great items!! Love the lampshade. And I really liked the quart jar holder.
