New Nest Treasures and Thrifty Finds


A mini-nest on a tablespoon easel.
Green bird and eggs coming soon.



Hit a great church rummage sale Saturday,
and got this porcelain Santa.


Here is what I paid,
and if you zoom in you will see the store price!
($27.00!!)

A pile of doilies, and a sweet black choker.....


Sheet music and books....

a wonderful old scrapbook with paper articles
and recipes from the 1940's in it.

And here is the BLUE cover of the scrapbook

and some other things I got.

Nothing over $2.00!!
My kind of sale! =0)

  11. Hi Barbara! I found an old silver soup ladle this weekend and thought... "I can put a bird nest in there like Barbara Jean!!!" I haven't done it yet, because I'm not sure where I would put it, but I do LOVE the idea.
    I had no idea there were so many Make it Monday memes!!!! I'm going to check some of them out! Have a great week.

  16. Hello Barbara Jean ~I wanted to stop by to reconnect. I've had a few absences from blogging and have lost touch with some of my friends.
    Since winter landed on our doorstep...it provided us the motivation for a few indoor remodeling projects...in two homes! Which can be a bit daunting. So, I appreciate the breaks I get for blog visits.
    It's wonderful how generous blog friends as yourself can be, with sharing your beautiful treasures. That's why I love returning the gesture, by sharing cooking or DIY ideas too.
    I hope you can stop by so we can reacquaint ourselves.

    Sweet wishes,
    Sara
