My thrift store loot from a month or so ago!
Hand thrown plates (4 large, 4 salad), a single Mikasa bowl that I love, and 2 sake cups that I'll use to plant small things in...Man, I would <3<3<3 to plant mini-miniature bonsais in them. Wouldn't that be so awesome???
Following 3 fabrics are last week's thrift store loot.
How yuM is this fabric??? Theres 2 or 3 yards of it. Choclate brown w/ candy blue pin stripes. Everyday I ask it what it wants to be. But it is playing hard to get!!! grrr....But I still love it. :)
oO..my love and joy....
The striped fabric was clearance from Joann's that I got last summer. Last summer was when we moved into our first condo, and so I started dreaming up ideas for my craft room. So I picked up this fabric to use for curtains/pillows/slipcover for yet to be found couch. Not sure yet. I just fell in love w/ it and had to have it.
The other fabric is about 5 yards, for $2!!! wooT!!! It's stretchy...sooo...
First and foremose I want to use it in my craft room because it matches so well w/ my colors I want it to be. Secondly, if there is any left, I wanna make a skirt.
-East and West walls will be painted in that darker candy blue that is seen on the fabrics. Either plainly painted, or maybe some kinda texture/pattern...
-Line my desk w/ fabric (cuz that's where my WIPs and yarn will live.)
-Desk/s will be white and/or light blue and maybe w/ some fabric glued to it. :)
-Sheer/or not curtains.
-Small love seat (white?) w/ pillows
Ok, that is it so far...
The following are less exciting but I was camera happy:
framed mirror w/ hooks from goodwill.
painting it some other color, and painting hooks or even replacing them.
Scrap fabric from Freecycle.
They're not the greatest, and there's not a whole lot of them, but they still speak to me.
They plead to not dismiss them and make them into something wonderful. Or anything..as long as they get to become something. The top blue one will probably end up being purse lining.
More scrap fabric.
All 1 yard - 3 yards.
The dark bottom one is corduroy-like and is navy.
Yes, I also see the yellow one w/ the burn stains...BUT..the holes are kinda interesting to me, and I wonder for the lightbulb to light up.
I didn't like this fabric at first glance, but once I touched it, and looked closer...I screamed to me, "Make me into a haltered Marilyn-over-airgrate-esque dress!!!"
So that, it will become.
Whew! I'm tired from all this pic taking and posting!!!
This weekend I can go look for more fabrics for my craft room, figure out the wall painting thing, and even move my desk upstairs...And then the dining table will be FREED from D using it as a desk. Then, I'll have a table to sew on. Heh. Poor dining table will never have anyone dine on it....
