The Last Treasures of 2009

I hit a few thrift stores yesterday and today and found the last of the treasures for 2009 and I think I I did pretty good........

3 Santa mugs--.25 to .50 each, 1 resin santa head to craft with 1.00 and Whooo Hooo! Another Santa pitcher! And he was only 3.00! Yeah! Oh Yeah!.....

....a rose covered heart tin for .75. I have always had a love for anything hearts and roses--I say it's because I was born the day before Valentine's day. And in case you're wondering what to get me for my birthday this year--anything roses or hearts (besides a long list of other collections! LOL!)..........I have another tin just like this only in black with roses......

...does anyone remember these---tin can pincushion chairs. I found both of them for .50 each! I plan to refurbish and update them a bit--new paint, pretty pincushion seats, maybe some beading or embroidery added. You can see the tin can lid in the seat of the gold chair and when I looked at the bottom of the white chair it appeared to be made from a soda can. I even found a link on how to make these. Click HERE. .........

...and last but not least are my gorgeous new curtains that will be going in my sewing room. I just fell in love with these! There are 2 fairly long valences, so they should be quite useable and I only have one window in my sewing room, so I'm thinking of creating a faux window somewhere in the room just so I can use them both. My shabby rose sewing room is starting to come together!





I put together a little slide show of some of my 2009 thrifting treasures and I think I had a great year!

I wonder what wonderful treasures 2010 holds? I can't wait to find out!
