E is for Estate Sale!! One of my most favorite things to do on a Saturday. I have found so many gems and treasures over the years. And really GREAT buys too!! 
An old vintage 6ft. shutter divider was FREE!! ( My favorite price!) It was an ugly dark brown and so I painted it a shabby white. I took out the broken shutters and replaced them with lovely shabby fabrics in blues, pinks and greens. Some are even vintage fabrics. 
This was a great find too. A wonderful garden shed at an estate sale for only $50.00. It was dark wood and I painted it a sweet country blue with white trim. We love it and use it all the time in our garden. 
This 5 piece wicker set was also a fabulous Estate Sale find. It was beige and pretty dull until…yep you guessed it. I painted it white!! And only $75.00 for all 5 pieces! I used vintage fabrics to make seat covers.
F is for Flowers These are some heirloom flowers we had in our garden last year. Foxgloves are a very old variety and are a very English flower. To me they are pure heaven! 
We also planted heirloom Sweet Peas. They are so delicate and fragrant. One sniff and you’ll be hooked. 
Thanks for joining me at the Etsy Party today.
Which one struck your fancy??

I know I’m posting on an old post, but you have a wonderful eye for making stuff useful and pretty. I would love to be able to see an item come to life the way you do it….I collect stuff, but never quite use it to potential or display it well. Your sewing room is lovely too!
