Blankets!! My new collection obsession!

green pattern
green blanket

Hey all!!! I have 2 new blankets from the thrifts. I am so excited to have a new focus for collecting. Blankets can add such a stunning touch to a blah bed, and can be used in alot of ways. Right now we are having snow and cold. Last week it was in the 70's. So we need warm blankets. I saw the gold and roses one and nabbed it at Salvation Army this weekend. It matches the guest room decor.

Brown and gold roses
Gold chair
Also... these finds...New chair pads 99 cents a peice add color to my chairs. I like them because they are fruit patterned.

 



Cute oranges and cherries juice glasses
Great way to cheer up a kitchen in this cold weather until Spring comes!! It makes me happy to see my cute bright colored kitchen in the morning when I  have my coffee!! Well stay warm and show me your bright colored kitchenwares!!

Happy Sunday

Baby in Living room
Hello all! Happy Sunday! I have had a basement disaster that involved raw sewage spewing on everything. Been cleaning and sorting. Thought I would take a break and see my doggies.I salvaged two panels of barkcloth, but they didn't do well in washer. Baby was upset so she took a nap. LOL

Not much at the thrifts, but did find a great mint condition sixties bedspread for 3.98! Maybe I will use it when I redecorate for Spring!

Return of Zmama!! Update on kitchen

I know...it's been ages. But - I plan to start blogging again. I hope some of you are still out there that used to visit me! I didn't have home internet for a long time and now I do. Didn't like trying to blog on my phone....I am an old fogie I guess. Here is my latest formica table, (One of way too many). Couldn't pass it up for $10.00!  I haven't really posted a good picture of my little Fridgiaire fridge either. Lovin' it...

I love Lucy clock and my little fridge...works perfectly
Took and old lampshade and added Mom and Dad's wedding pix. I change this frequently too by clipping things on with clothespins
