"new" white treasures

new furniture pieces at the store.

This chippy old 3 drawer unit can be used as small dresser, 

or a nightstand or end table.

Love how perfectly chippy it is.

 

This is a newer cottage piece.

Love the added trim on door, and up at corners.

 

 not furniture, but small size ice-skates. 

These are so cute on a sled, or tied to a window with wreath on it.

 

fun centerpiece idea:

old chippy wood lid,

with candle ring around old insulator.

 (don't forget candle in insulator. battery operated best)

 

and this has only some white in it but wanted to show you.

We took another old organ apart,

(after we found out we could not get parts to fix it.)

We salvage the parts and use them to make other things.

This keyboard is a great wall decor,

or can be made into a shelf fairly easily.

We hung a wire basket over it and filled it with music and

other things,  and built a music display in the area.

Here is a picture of area just below it with

old violin, violin case, and flute case...

and here is pic of whole area.

thanks for visiting today.

Blissful Whites Christmas Display

 Getting set up for our Simply Shabby Christmas at the shop next week.

(Nov. 14-16)

Here are some bits and pieces of what we have done so far.

always try to have a sled and ice-skates for decor.

Of course they sell fast.....

found a 'spare' sled today at thrift store,

wo we will ahve two at least. =)

Mantle, a bit different each year.

Someone already wants the cathedral mirror....

Did not even make it to the sale.

close up of our tree, with my 

lace flowers on it. 

have a super week everyone.

Lovin' those whites, and grateful for our hostess at Blissful Whites Wednesday.

  PS My "Spring" Tree from last week has gone over great. Sold the first ones, and now orders. Lot of work, but love the whole simpleness of it.=)  

PS 

Blissful White Project

had this idea for old bed springs, and stuff....

 

 
laid it out on the cement to see what it would look like,
the used old rusty stapes, which I cut shorter,
and hammered in to keep it in place,

 on an old bee keep lid.

It is a "Spring Tree". =)

Do you love it?

(I was going to add burlap knots to it,

 but decided I love it just as it's old rusty self.)

all for today.

be blessed and thanks for coming by

New Bathroom Decor & More

Welcome to Blissful White Wednesday.

My fave place to be mid week.

Before the bathroom, wanted to show you this complete box of  bobbins I got.

Just love it....

still complete in box.

OK, now that bathroom....

At our little shop, we need to make good use of our space.

So, some time ago, we covered the bathtub with an old door, 

and some old eyelet curtains, and made it into another 'space'.

Here is the latest display.

sweet little table, some scales, and my 'newest' mannequin.

Still tossing around names for her. Maybe Gertrude???

We'll see.

Here she is in all her glory....

 

I found this old lamp shade last weekend.

Just love it....old and torn, and it is so rotten....

 

it was easy to tear a bit more of it,

and let it be a new crow home....

 

When Fall is over, and if it does not sell,

will tear rest of cover off to reveal more of that perfectly

covered wire. I'll leave the trim on top and bottom.

another great 'cloche' for some of my treasures.

thanks for visiting.

Love Bleissful White Wednesday.

Check it out.

Cottage Whites and Other Treasures

Here are a few pics of the Cottage Room in our store.....

(I know some of you will wonder 

what the piece is one top of the cubby.

It is part of a loom....love it!!) SOLD, sorry.

Decided to add a little 'color' by 

putting this black scale in the room too.

Little bits of cottage colors here and there....

And this new corner..

Thanks for visiting everyone.

joining some parties this week.

Thanks always to our hostesses. =)

Blissful Whites Wednesday

quick post for my fave Wednesday linky party.
Anyone ever seen a little round band-aid tin?
I could not even find one on the internet...

 

Found a few enamel lights,

and this wonderful old metal bed, with rails!!!

 

This lawnmower is actually a very pale yellow,

but thought I'd show you anyway.

blessings all, and have a super week.
