Saving the universe one project at a time!
When I was out in Lucketts, Virginia, I bought this flour sack pillow case. I think it was a flour sack first, then someone sewed it into a pillow case. I don’t have much of a need for pink and aqua roosters in the bedrooms of my house; I do, however, NEED a THROW PILLOW adorned with pink & aqua roosters in my house – who doesn’t?
I cut the pillow case down, attached some aqua trim, sewed, turned, and stuffed!
Now it is one of my favorite pillows ever!
I just got back from spending a week in Utah with my husband’s family. It was a jam-packed week for sure! I managed to squeeze in a few minutes of antique shopping looking for vintage Pyrex. I am excited about my finds!! I have been looking for a pink piece for my collection & I was so excited to find this pink gooseberry bowl! The red & blue bowls are actually ones my Mother-in-law gave me from her collection!
I love these two divided casserole dishes with lids – they are my first pieces with decorative lids! I got the yellow one for $5 and the green one for $6!!
I came across this vintage metal bread box and I fell IN LOVE!! It will be perfect on top of my fridge – looks so cute in my kitchen!!
I picked up this little beauty at the Goodwill today! It’s in pretty good shape too. You never know what you are going to find there!

I am obsessed with vintage Pyrex. The above picture is my dream – I love all the colors and patterns! There is even a website devoted to Pyrex called Pyrex love.com
I bought my first 3 pieces at our Antique Mall last week. They were 40% off even! I will have to keep looking while I am garage sailing & thrift shopping!! They are not easy to find!

In the springtime, my children are always picking me flowers – so sweet. Usually the stems aren’t very long and there are not enough flowers for a large bouquet – I never know what to do with the little flowers. I finally solved the problem! I got out my antique cruet set. I filled each little vase with water – they are the perfect size for garden plucked flowers. Sally picked me some daisies from the yard and now I can enjoy them for several days!

I found this idea on Write. Click. Scrapbook. It is such a great idea!
I got out some of my heirloom silver pieces and made one in about 5 minutes. I used scrapbook paper and cardboard for the back. I marked the places the wire needed to go to hold the silver then drilled small holes through the paper/cardboard. I used thin wire to hold the pieces in place. I have it hanging in the kitchen and it makes me happy to look at it.
