Yard Sale Finds and Nesting Tables Redo

Happy March ya'll!

It's been quite the busy past

couple of weeks here at

the Ruffle Household!

Last week, my grandson James

and his other grandmas were

here for a visit.  We kept pretty

busy catching beetles & snails

in the morning.. and playing in

the afternoon in the wonderful

Florida sunshine!  We even managed

to get a trip to Sea World in, or,

as he calls it... "Shark Land"!

I now know more than I care to

about all sorts of sharks.. Lemon Sharks,

Tiger Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks..

Little James is quite the smarty pants

when it comes to sharks! 

(He'll even tell you which ones

will bite you and which ones won't.. hehe)

Here's a cute pic of him eating

Florida oranges on our lanai..

Silly kid!!

Last weekend Mr. Ruffles

went golfing.. *yawn*..

So.. I went to a few yard sales.

Sooo, happy I did!

Look what I found:

Silver Coffee Pot

Buttons

Candlestick

Wonderful Scale

and more buttons!

Check this out!

My favorite find of the weekend.

A French bottle with

the labels still attached.

Did you see the top?

With the 4 holes..

how cool is that?!

Desk.. yes, I have the drawers.. LOL

Cute side table and

wood pedestal.

And, these nesting tables..

Today I got to work on them.

I cleaned them up, and

then painted 1 coat of white,

then, 1 dry brushed coat of grey..

Sanded them down to

give them that Shabby goodness..

and added a French graphic

from The Graphics Fairy..

to come up with these!

Hi ya'll!

Has it really been since Valentines Day

since I last left you all a blog post?

My deepest apologies!!

I've been soo busy around here,

I can hardly keep up.

Between visiting

my parents on the other side of the state..

then ~ they drove out here and stayed

for a few days..

From working on my

dining room set in my kitchen, to

"fluffing" my booth

And making sure

I didn't miss a thing at the last extravaganza

at Renningers until November..

I didn't even realize I

missed a whole week here!

And, the fun doesn't stop either..

my sweet 4 year old grandson, James,

is coming for a visit from

Michigan on Saturday!

YAY!  I'm soo excited to see him again!

I talked to him on the phone yesterday

and told him I would be at the airport

to pick him up on Saturday.

He replied, "Guess what Punkin'..

(That's what he calls me..)

we have a Saturday in my city too!"

Ahh.. he's something else, I tell ya!

Love him!!

In the meantime of all the above activity,

I've managed to finish up a dresser

I scored a few weeks ago.

Blech!

Sanded 'er down,

cleaned 'er up,

and, of course,

painted 'er white..

Tada!!

OOO I could just squeel

with delight!!

I just love this

pretty lill thang now!

Love me some Shabby!!

I picked this book

of self stick fabric paper

at Joann Fabrics this morning..

Guess what I did with it?

I cut it up into squares

and lined the drawers

so the fabric paper

looked like a quilt..

No Mod Podge this time

since it was already

sticky on one side

and fabric on the other..

How cool is that?!

From that ...     To this!

New Color For Me

It's a bit dreary outside today

in Florida.. still warm, so,

no complaints.. just a good

day to get a couple crafty

projects done..

I picked this little 1/2 side table

up at Renningers Extravaganza

a couple of weeks ago:

Very cute.. and very sturdy.

Just not liking the stain color..

not at all!

So.. off to Lowes I go!

I decided I'd try a new color.

I picked up a quart of

Valspars Notre Dame.

I am really loving this shade!

Isn't it pretty?

From that..                     To this!

The table above and

all these goodies below

are going to my booth at

Traditions Antique Mall

tomorrow..

If you're in the Wildwood area,

I'd love to meet ya!

Hope ya'll are enjoying your day!

Lamp Redo

I picked up this lamp at

a local flea market

a few months ago..

I switched the lamp shade

with this one..

Then painted the lamp white,

added crystals,

and tore strips of

white linen and pink cotton

to get this!
