Goodwill finds & New Country Sampler Magazine


Yeahhhh.... The new Country Sampler came in my mailbox yesterday. It is amazing ... I love this magazine.

****

I was in the Goodwill and I found the following: an old sled , two little cups (50 cents/ea, these are stamped as Pfalzgraff 100), I'm not sure if they are old but I love their color and blue print on it, and old strainer ($1 ). Probably, I can make a shoo fly with it.


On Sunday morning, I was in some antiques stores here in VA and see some old sleds. I was thinking that I need one for Christmas but the cheapest was $49.99 and the most expensive $79.00. And I decide to wait few months more to buy one. What a surprise when found one in the GW, I am thinking that it has good price, mine is only $12.50. What do you think ??? Here the pic.

**** New Makeovers ****

Yesterday, I was working in two new makeovers. The first one was wood spoons. I bought this package at Walmart for $1.00 / 4 spoons. I painted each one in different color: Yellow, Burnt umber and Barn Red, then stained them to give and old color.

Before,

After,


The second project was this little cabinet. I sanded to remove their color and painted it black. After that , sanded again and use dark walnut stain on it. I think looks better now. I love black!!!! Before,

After,
Have a wonderful evening! See you soon...

  12. I believe what you published made a ton of sense. However, think on this,
    suppose you composed a catchier title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "Goodwill finds & New Country Sampler Magazine" is kinda plain. You could look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news
    titles to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related
    picture or two to get people excited about everything've written. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little livelier.

  13. Great blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress
    or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Bless you!

  14. Currently it sounds like Wordpress is the best
    blogging platform out there right now. (from what
    I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  27. You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation but I find this matter to
    be really something that I feel I'd by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely vast for me. I'm taking a look forward
    for your next submit, I'll try to get the dangle of it!
