Collar fun!
I found this fabulous blouse at a yard sale for fifty cents. It had big stains, thus the price. Bought it for the wonderful buttons...but then remembered seeing a French cuff from a shirt...

Re: Texas Hoarders Estate Junk Sale
Ack! My daughter is getting married November 7th!! If there is any way I can make it on the 5th, I'll be there. Probably not...sigh. And if any rules were broken, I take full responsibility! I just didn't have time to scan your blog for the date and address. I did visit your blog and the pictures you posted--as well as the ones you posted here--were fabulous!! Best wishes for a profitable sale!!

A definite high five! I think the unidentified object is a trowel used for smoothing concrete or mortar. Just a guess though! lol

Oh my gosh! What a wonderful stash of beauties. Where do you live? I have an awful feeling it is far from Texas. :>(

I think Lowes and Home Depot have those rubber floor protectors. Maybe even Wal-Mart.

My daughter works for Wisteria, MB! If you live in the Dallas area---or happen to be in the area---they have an outlet where you can shop. Or you can order online.

Re: wood mosaic tabletop
This is way cool! One question...did he paint the pieces of wood before or after gluing them onto the table top? Just curious! :>)

My guess is an ashtray stand. I have one that looks similar to this, although the 'tray' section on mine is not as large.

I've been trying to think of a unique headboard for my guestroom beds (and, yes, that's plural. I have two queen beds in my guestroom!), and I LOVE this idea!! Do you mind if I copy your idea? That is, if I can find enough shutters. lol

I have Kodak Easyshare software. I have to click 'edit', then 'save as.' There is an option in the lower left screen that lets me choose the file size. The selection I choose is 'best for web.'

Those are too cool! I have never seen prisms with magnets attached. Do you know who makes those? I've made several silk flower arrangements from old tins. I drill a single hole in the lid, stick a wire through it, curl the end so it'll stay in place, then stick the opposite end into the arrangement. That way the lid always stays with the tin!

Love 'e,m! My garden is always colorful in the spring, but when the summer heat hits--which it HAS--I'm always trying to find 'pretty' things to fill in the gaps.

Love it! I live near Ft. Hood and think the soldiers would really appreciate this reuse idea!!

How clever! And 'she' makes a beautiful statement. I know the decorating shop feels honored to have her on display.
posted: 10:48 pm on June 18thRe: What else can I do with this??
Clean out the wax from your glass containers and make it a condiment 'tree'...ice cream sundae toppings, taco toppings, that kind of thing. If you have a baseball fan in your family, you could display autographed or special baseballs. Fruit stand for oranges and apples? Pots of herbs? Don't get rid of it! It's a neat piece.

I had to laugh when I saw your table, Georgia. I saved some of those same cardboard pieces from the shipment of my roman shades. I kept thinking there HAD to be a use for them, but have never been able to think of anything. I don't think I'm brave enough to attempt your table idea, though! lol That looks like a lot of work...but the end product is absolutely amazing!! Who'd have thought?
