Picture hanging with a paper clip

I dropped by my favorite thrift shop this week and although I didn't find a lot of things, I found these cute little blue and white plates. They have silver metallic edges which would be a "no, no"  if I were going to use them in the kitchen.  If they can't go in the microwave, they don't come home with me!

Fortunately, they were the perfect color to go in the guest room and were the right price... 50 cents!

Being anxious to get them up,  lazy, I didn't want to go pick up plate hangers. So, I decided to try something I had seen on the internet. I hung them with paper clips.

I simply twisted the clips into a circle (somewhat),  and glued them on with E-6000 glue. I let them dry overnight and hung them the next day.

So far so good! I'll let you know how they hold up. I might should provide my guests with football helmets!

I also found another soup tureen for $3.00. This is the first one I've found with the ladle. I just can't pass up tureens. Loved these ivory shams for $2.00.
Glad you dropped by and y'all come back!

Thrifty Fall Finds

I know I said I was going to decorate with what I already have for fall

well, I lied!

I didn't mean to. That really was my plan.

I visited Goodwill and well you know the rest of the story ... these little dessert plates hopped right in my


 cart when I passed by.

I love the little leaf detail.

This white pitcher followed right behind them.

The six dessert plates were only 2.25 with my senior,  young and fiesty, discount.

The pitcher was the same. I love to use pitchers as floral vases, especially white ones.

I'm going to Try to not buy any more fall things. I think I jinxed myself

but

a relaxed day of bargain hunting and enjoying the season can be such fun!



Hope you all are enjoying this wonderful fall and y'all come on back.
