A Few Cottage Finds at Goodwill

Have I ever shared a photo of our parakeet, Skyler? If not, here he is admiring himself in the mirror. Actually, he thinks that's another bird. He's constantly smooching on his reflection and I'm constantly cleaning Skyler slobber off the mirror:)


I haven't posted any Goodwill bargains in quite a while, so I thought I'd do that today. First of all, I've found a spot for that little white flea market table (for now...who knows where it will migrate in the future!). I put it in the kitchen, of all places. Until we put food pantry in there, we'll have room for the table. Everything is so transitory during a remodel anyway, and I may be crazy for trying to "decorate" an unfinished kitchen just a bit - but that's ok.



Oh how I love the colors red and white!


This is a very old silverplated coffee (tea?) pitcher. The cream and sugar are missing the lids but I really liked the antique look of the set. I never plan to clean them up:)


An old scalloped edge bowl - perfect for the apples that won't fit in the fridge!


Someone made this simple little memo/photo board. It's covered in a pretty cotton plaid and ribbons were attached with upholstery tacks. So simple that I might try to make one myself sometimes. I purchased the photo frame at Goodwill, too, and as you can see, I still need to find a picture to put in it:)


This stack of old scalloped edged plates and saucers was just $4.99. I searched and searched for any bowls or cups that went with the set, but to no avail. These old plates are very lightweight and delicate, have plenty of craze marks and have been well used (and probably loved!) for decades.




Ah, and here is our little man Sky again. He loves to perch at the top of the kitchen cabinets for a birdseye view of the place. Hmm, seeing this photo makes me really wish our crown moulding was up already, lol. But I'm sure Skyler doesn't mind:)


I want to say thanks for Dawn for tagging me for the Thinking Bloggers Award! Wow! It's time for me to tag some Thinking Bloggers and I'll get to that soon.... Thanks again!

On the remodeling front, that pesky dining wall is now sanded and primed (again). It's not perfect, but much better than the first time around (remember I wrote about the ways and dips?). I don't think anyone will be able to tell that there was once a door on the that particular wall. I'm making my peace and moving on:)
