Now onto this weeks treasures. I didn't find much at GW, but I did find some real treasures at the yard sales.
GW was having their 1/2 off day and it was a zoo, I didn't look too long,but I did find a bag of rafia and rope orbs marked $4.99, so for $2.50 they came home with me. Great textures and colors.
The next yard sale had the best stuff. Some really lovely furniture, if I had 2 inches for anything, she had some really pretty things. Most of her things were definitely more on the designer side. She did have a couple of things that I couldn't pass up. I love faux flowers and especially the really large, really nice ones. She had a group of 3 stems that were perfect, and for $3.00 they were mine.
I love the soft camel colors of all of these, and this is such a lovely and huge hydrangea.
I think they are fabulous and I am thinking about taking the tops off and making them into pillows. What do you think? What would you do with them? Really kind of fun don't you think!!!!

Those certainly are some good bargains. Those large flower stems are very pretty and I know for sure that you did good on getting those so inexpensively. They can add up fast when doing an arrangement. The french style placemats are cute. They would be cute turned into pillows like you suggested. You could even frame them!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great deals! I agree about making pillows out of the placemats - think they would be pretty.
ReplyDeleteGot to love yard sales. I think making pillows of the placemats is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI never would've thought of pillows, but that would be perfect. So enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteI would definatly make pillows with those beauties. You found lots of lovely stuff.. Yard sales here are slim .. Maybe folks will start having basement sales soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Marty. I especially like the placemats. Since there are only two, I think making pillows is a great idea!!

Wow, Marty, you've been finding some great things! Love the orbs; they go so great everywhere. Love those placemats! They would make nice pillows ~ that's a good idea. Maybe even taken apart {so they are not so thick} and framed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds Marty! When I first saw the placemats I thought instantly of pillows. Or even a tablerunner with some muslin or light colored burlap in between. Love the looks of them! Thank you for sharing this with all of us at
ReplyDeleteTTF and have a great weekend!
Marty,
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! We sold those hydrangea in the store last year for $6 ~ $8 each! I agree...from French placemats to Frenchy pillows!Thanks for sharing your bargains!!!
Fondly,

I would absolutely make pillows-they are great.
