Sweet Summertime! My Friday Goodwill Find was the inspiration for my Summertime mantel. I picked this shabby sign for two reasons, first my favorite Psalm and second it reminded me of beautiful paintings by some of my favorite artist.

Friday Goodwill Find:Velveteen Rabbit

Are you enjoying your Spring? Do you remember the pink velvet blouse from Goodwill! I've made puffy love hearts, shabby bracelet and now velveteen Easter eggs. The children's book the Velveteen Rabbit inspired me and its beautiful story!

It's officially Spring! Yay! I have been enjoying all the Spring inspiration in blog land. My Friday Goodwill Find is this "Blush" damask table cloth and eight napkins.

My Spring table with vintage, thirsty, have a beautiful Spring drink!

Friday Goodwill Find: New Beginning
Saturday, March 4, 2017
Dear Friends
My Friday Goodwill Find is something simple and hand painted. I love anything hand painted and the artist signed it. I cut a few Iris last weekend and this weekend cut daffodils to fill this beautiful simple vase. Doesn't the simplicity of the painting say "New Beginning"!

broken strands.

Friday Goodwill Find:Puffy Hearts
Saturday, January 28, 2017
Dear Friends
I've had this velvet blouse I found at Goodwill for sometime, which unfortunately was to small but new I could repurpose it into something pretty. I made these puffy hearts and painted and spelled LOVE. How about some beautiful Valentine eye candy to go with the puffy heats. I've included some of my favorite cherubs on my mantel with porcelain roses. The blond cherub is my very favorite and included a picture of my mom and dad when they were young and in love. The architectural piece I found at Hobby Lobby for a song and loved the heart cut out at the top. Are you in love? If not my Cupid is ready to shoot his bow and arrow and pierce your heart to stoke the flames of love!

Friday Goodwill Finds: A Shabby Girl Can Change...
Saturday, January 14, 2017
Dear Friends
How is your new year going? I am counting the days down until Spring!!! With Old Man Winter comes the blues, so I am doing everything I can to stay warm and happy. I decided to bring Lola out of the craft or sewing room and change her dress. She so deserved a new dress and I found this one at Goodwill. It's a beautiful cream and pearl and its beautiful in the candle light. I added wings that I painted a pretty cream and added lots of pearls around her neck. Lola has changed from my scissor holder to a shabby beautiful angel. Next, I decided to change my lamp, I really didn't like the one previously posted so I found "Diana" and I love the way she looks on my harmony end table. My goodwill finds are a few inexpensive beauties, a hull flower decanter, crystal salt and pepper shakers and a small ribbon milk glass bowl, to hold beautiful roses until I change my mind. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to freshen up your home, just look around and add beautiful flowers to a few Friday Goodwill Finds to make it shabby beautiful!

Friday Goodwill Finds:Twas The Night Before Christmas!
Saturday, December 17, 2016
Dear Friends
I could not let December get away without sharing a Friday Goodwill Find and I said this before, I love finding things that go with the theme. The Cinderella room has a little Christmas, how about a couple of Napco mice to add to the theme "Not a creature was steering, not even a mouse.", and a sweet Christmas lace pillow. I did my first video on Instagram, nervous! I have so much more to share, stay tune for more shabby beautiful.

Thank you for tuning in and I am continuously"Thankful, Grateful and very Blessed." Just a quick post of my mantel with these lovely "Friday Goodwill Finds" brass candlesticks, I soaked in vinegar to make them as good as new. I filled the antique bowl with roses and you don't have to be a florist to do this. I will be using them on my Thanksgiving table, please tune in for more shabby beautiful, you won't be disappointed!

Friday Goodwill Finds:Harmony
Saturday, November 5, 2016
Dear Friends
A lot going on at Cline Cottage, new heating system for the house, still painting, hanging a chandy and his&hers Harmony end tables my Loving Man fell in love with from Goodwill! They were a little over $10 each and I painted them and he cleaned the hard ware with toothpaste and TaDa! I'm so upset that I did not get a before picture. My table has sexy curves with a lamp from a thrift store it's different, not sure I'm totally in love, I like it turned to just white. My husbands table has straight lines and is larger than my table. I bought him a new lamp that is not so feminine with new slate coasters. The bowl of glittery pine cones will go on the coffee table when we finish the chandy. The chandy is finally electrified! The Harmony end tables were a mess from Goodwill but with paint they have definitely brought Harmony and more bling to Cline Cottage. Have a great weekend!

Friday Goodwill Find:Magic Mirror On The Wall
Friday, October 14, 2016
Dear Friends
Who is the fairest one of all? Does that bring back memories? Mirrors have so much history, superstition and wonder, I love them. I found a sweet mirror at Goodwill to add to my collection. After painting my living room the beautiful ivory, I brought in the armoire that was in my bedroom to house a larger TV. All for my loving man, I'm still working on that project but it has beautiful mirrors and wanted to hang my collection of mirrors to mimic the mirrors on the armoire and add light, I'm really happy with the changes. Speaking of light, I have removed the ceiling fan I've had for years. I will be adding a beautiful chandelier that I purchased for my anniversary, I love bling don't you! I also found three beautiful rose bone plates at Goodwill and added them to my pink sweater pumpkins. Here is just a sneak peak of the chandelier, so stay tune for more shabby beautiful!

Friday Goodwill Find: Weighing In For Fall
Thursday, September 29, 2016

Happy Fall Everyone! My Friday Goodwill Find is a stainless scale I painted white, still not sure about the white paint but wanted it to fit in my Christmas decor. So, the color may change but what about the price, made sure to include my before and after. I made pink pumpkins with milk glass stems, bet you haven't seen these anywhere and pink acorns. I included a picture of pumpkins my daughter and I made with my famous Grand Dog, Sailor. There are changes at Cline Cottage, my living room has been green for years, goodby green, hello ivory, the color reminds me of a beautiful string of pearls.

Friday Goodwill Find: Grandmothers Fall
Saturday, September 17, 2016
Dear Friends
I'm a true believer that all beautiful and classic things never go out. The current issue of Romantic Homes featured some beautiful needle point. I love needle point and I'm finishing up a few pieces found at Goodwill. My Goodwill Find is this faux needle point throw ($5) and I love that it compliments my needle point pumpkin I made out of a needle point piece found at Goodwill. My husband confessed that his grandmother would love the rocking chair and throw and there you have it, "Grandmothers Fall!" I never had the chance to meet Ulla Maye Cline but I know she loved flowers and beautiful things and had the best biscuits in the world. Enjoy the moments we have with the ones we love!

Saturday, August 27, 2016
Dear Friends
My Friday Goodwill Finds are these great needle point finds. I admit, I have had them for sometime and paid only $5.95 for all and decided to finish these beautiful works of art. I also found beautiful fabric that I will use for one to make a pillow. The fabric was $1.51!
Does anyone needle point anymore? Is this a lost art like sewing? Well, I intend to bring these Beautiful Works of Art back...
So, you must stay tuned for more Beautiful Works of Art, you will not be disappointed!
