WHA WHOO!! I WENT JUNKIN!

Hi all! I have been wanting to do Junkin Mondays hosted by Clara and Marcela over at Cottage Charm and Family Inspirations for quite sometime, but never seem to be able to get the 'ol act together! Today, I spent time organizing my guest room where most of my finds from Saturday's junkin were thrown! Can you see the wonderful Wolfe dress form I got! I was so excited. The lady I stole it from (er, purchased) it from actually had just purchased two, yes 2, from a yard sale I was on my way to! Well, after begging, crying, and pleading with her she finally parted with one... to moi!! Can you believe it! And the price, well let's just say... yipeeee!! Now, to sell or not to sell...humm. I have so many projects to get done for this next show that I am already freakin! So it's a good thing I got somewhat organized today.
When your done here be sure to check out all the other gals that are doing Junkin Mondays.




Here's so of my finds from the Saturday...(the Chandelier is from two weeks ago) The ottoman will get a new look with the linen I have been purchasing.




















These are some of the linens I got and this chair (the ones my cats were lying on in the previous post) will get a new look with some of these linens.














I found so many really great linens on Saturday for my pillows and a few other items that I am going to add to my lines!












See this wonderful iron piece? Well, the lady I got it from got it in France. The top is missing and it has a wonderful leg (not shown), so it's a console I guess. It is so beautiful, But with the top is missing do I put a mirror?, glass? or completely re-invent it... that is the question..I hate not using the leg, cause it is beautiful, but I am thinking of re-inventing it...can you guess into what? If it works, I'll be showing you soon...otherwise you'll see it as a console in my space for our November barn sale 13, 14,15 . Have a great Monday!

WHITE WEDNESDAY PILLOW TALK

Welcome to another wonderful White Wednesday hosted by Kathleen over at
Faded Charm.
This week I was going to show you what I am working on for this month's show...BUT a couple of days ago I was, as usual, running around doing twenty things at one, when I realized that I was sick to my stomach from taking my vitamins and not eating. So naturally I sat down and ate a wonderful complete healthy breakfast...NOT..Instead I grabbed a couple of crackers and continued my madness.
All of the sudden I realized I couldn't breathe! A cracker had lodged in my windpipe. I thought, don't panic, Gale, just cough and you'll be fine. After many attempts to cough the cracker piece up, I soon realized I was in trouble!! Thank the Lord my husband, son and nephew were all in the house. My nephew has had Navy Seal training and so he preformed the Heimlich on me. He got me to cough the cracker piece up after three tries ( a very very tiny piece)..BUT in the procedure broke my left rib! The pain is quite unbelievable, but I will take this over the alternative any day. SO, like a "good girl" I am resting and not lifting anything heavy, or house cleaning or vacuuming (sigh, wink wink) Which brings me to White Wednesday...I have had to try and fill my days doing something, as it so hard for me to just sit. I decided I always wanted to start a line of Tatter Elegant Wizard of Was pillows...So...here are a couple that I have made over the past few days. They are a light weight linen in neutral colors with tattered edging. I will put them in the next show to see the response. If they do well I will look into expanding into a line. Oh, by the way, the fabric is all recycled fabric ei. curtains, tablecloths, etc. So we'll see....
Have a great WW and do check out all of the other great sites that are participating in White Wednesday! I appreciate and look forward to your comments!
