(click to enlarge)In the last months I have been very lucky in finding some great items I couldn't part with! Normally I am looking for our booths in the mall or to sell on ebay, but when you find something this nice....it is hard to part with:D
Here in the above collage you see two paintings. The framed print is fabulous and is on my mantel as I write this........I looked up the artist and she is alive and well in Calif. still painting! The Oriental oil painting is not my particular favorite, but is VERY NICE! This I purchased for 4.00 at my local "thrift". The framed numbered print was 25.00 at a St. Louis thrift shop:D
The little lamp was a steal (in my book) for 3.00! It is a darling tin and sits on my foyer desk! I even still have the original shade on it:D The candle stick sits in my kitchen window right now....but has been used in the center of my kitchen island surrounded with greens and glass balls for a Christmas dinner last year! We picked it up at a garage sale while visiting Galena, Ill. last year with my sis and her husband. This little pretty set me back a mere 5.00! YEA for the Fleas, Tags, Garage and Thrifts.....YEA>>>YEA!

And here is my finished quilt I posted awhile back! I got it back from the quilter and bound it in a sweet yellow floral. I especially love the fabric backing!!! I bought a lot of it and made my granddaughter a dress out of it along with several other projects.....like I said....I bought a lot of it!
As many of you had written me....and I thank you.....the mistakes I made in this first attempt at this pattern really don't show up once it was quilted. As you may have noticed looking at the things I make......I MUST HAVE a little RED in everything! It just completes it for me:D
