Tall Corner Shelf...


I walked past this a couple of times not sure I really wanted it or had the right spot for it.  It was priced at $39.99.  By the time I got home I realized, that in fact yes, I wanted it.  I called back down so they could hold it for me for an hour or two until I got a vehicle to haul it home in.  FYI: Goodwill will not put things on hold.  So after a mad dash back to Platteville here it is and it fit in our living room perfectly.

At first my plan was to paint it right away because it has some weird little stencil design on it, but once it was here it didn't even bother me.  It may stay folksy forever!

Aqua Glasswear...

that looks perfect in our bedroom.   I painted my bedroom a really pale aqua color, so when looking for accents, I went to my favorite place.  All three of these lovelies were under $3.00.


P.S. I got the orange prayer beads from a friend who heard I loved the book Eat, Pray, Love.  The rosary was made by an old man in Arena.  He gave it to me while I was working at a mealsite last year.

Colorful Aluminum Glasses...

kind of like my grandparents had.  Although theirs were stainless steel, so they didn't have the cool colors.  .69 cents each, love them.
