I Have Done Something Besides Fret...

What is this you ask? This big ball of fur???



It is a Sissie!!

This is a soup tureen I found at a thrift shop for $7.00. It is a small one, probably for gravies or sauces, but I thought it was cute, so I snapped it up!

I loved the detail on it! The little lines on the lid and the scallops along the edge.

This was a great find! I have had my eye out for another coffee table. The one I had was just too, too BIG! It was big and heavy with a glass top and scrolly wrought iron legs. It was pretty but just didn't fit in the space. A friend of mine knew someone who was selling alot of her stuff because she was moving. Mandy knew I was looking for a coffee table so she asked if I wanted to go check out what the lady had. I did and found this!!! Of course, it didn't look like this.

I didn't take before pictures ~ what was I thinking??? It was kind of oaky looking and not in very good shape. It was DIRTY and smelled like cigarettes! I bought it for $20, took it home and scrubbed it down on the deck, sanded it and painted it black. And this as the end result!

I loved the roping that went around it and the legs :) And there is a little drawer which is perfect for the remote, my husband's cross word puzzles, pens that sort of clutter, tucked away!

Another shot of the roping....

I thought it turned out great and it fits so much better in the den! I had Steve put his feet up on it to see if it would work...he said yes! SCORE!

Well that is a little bit of what I have been up to, besides all of the "other" excitement that has been corrupting my life these last couple of weeks. Back to what I love!

Hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend!!
