More Pewter Plates!!!

As I posted on Saturday, I bought a couple of pewter plates at Goodwill.  They had more, but I only bought two.  Well I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about them and the fact that I only bought two – so yesterday I went back to GW and bought the rest (6).  I also found one small pewter plate and bought that one too.  So I got 6 of the larger plates and the one small plate for less than $20 - (all totaled for 8 plates and 1 small plate I spent about $25 – pretty good deal, don’t you think?)

These are the plates I got yesterday.  The other two are displayed on a shelf and I want to wait until they are all displayed to show those pictures.



You know how it goes – when you get new stuff you have to do some tweaking and rearranging to make room for it.  And sometimes you have to wait for DH to help with part of the project.  Well, that is where I find myself today.  I want to display the pewter plates on the shelves beside my TV cabinet (which DH made many years ago and I still love).  Fortunately the shelves are adjustable, because right now some of the shelves are too close to display the plates.  I need DH’s help to reconfigure the shelves and I have also asked him to cut plate grooves in them.  That means everything has to come off the shelves – and some of it will not return and I will have to find a place for it.  So I have to wait – and I am not very patient when I have a display idea and I want to give it a try.

The reason I have to wait is because my sweet husband is doing some repairs on my parents’ screened porch – I guess their need is greater than mine, so that is a priority.  He has been working on this off and on for a few days, so hopefully he will finish today.  Then maybe tomorrow he can help me with my shelves.

Anyway, I will post pictures of the TV cabinet display when it is finished.  But I just couldn’t wait to share about the pewter plates.  I’m so glad they were still there when I returned.


I hope you are all having a blessed week!

Craft Fair and Goodwill Finds

My BF, Connie, and I went to a local Craft Fair this afternoon, but were very disappointed.  There were a few booths with cutesy country crafts, but no prims.  I bought two battery powered candles and that was it.


We decided to go to GW and see if we could find any goodies there.  I’ve had better shopping days at GW too, but I did find a couple of things.  I bought two pewter looking plates for $3 each – I’m not sure where I will display them yet.  I also bought two candle sconces for $2 each.  A few months ago I bought a stitchery of the Lord’s Prayer and framed it and hung it above a bookcase – I thought it needed something else to go along with it and had been looking for some sconces.

Here are my GW goodies for today.

I’m pleased with how they look and the price was surely right!

I hope you are all having a great weekend!
