Good Morning decorating friends!

I know everyone is busy this time of year but please take a moment to join in our weekly game. Share pictures or just tell us about any recent or favorite finds. We always love to hear prices.

Let's play.....

morning.

I found a poor lil dirty snowman with wax all over his insides at goodwill for 50 cents ,brought him home, got him cleaned up highlighted him with a paint pen and gave him a nice spot to sit in for the holidays..
He seems to like it here.

Lol Sonny, I had to laugh at your description of poor ol' dirty snowman He does look very happy there and your entire vignette is wonderful. It's amazing what you can find at Goodwill!

lol, thanks Skyler. Having known a few "Dirty Snowmen" in my day, I can tell ya this one was the easiest to get clean and KEEP clean

Cute vignette Sonny

I finally have something for MMF! I bought a chair for $15.00 that I'm hoping I have the skill to paint and reupholster. THIS IS MARY RUTH'S PICTURE NOT MINE, but the chair in the top left corner is exactly the same as mine.

The woman also gave me a free children's sled that I'm going to use on my front porch for a winter decoration.

$15.00 and free! Cha ching!

Wanda, what a great looking chair. I'm sure you'll do a great job painting and reupholstering it. I'm sure you'll have fun choosing fabric for it too. Terrific price and nice bonus to get a sled. Be sure to share pictures when you're finished.

thanks Wanda..

fab price for that chair and I know you'll make it beautiful.

I have seen several versions of it on blogs..

you might want to look at Pinterest- type in chair redo's in the search and of course lots of chair styles will come up but also great tutorials on redoing chairs. good luck and cant wait to see them all done up "Wanda style"

Wanda,
I can't wait to see YOUR chair!!!
It will be a FUN project to see the chair transform before your eyes!

Sonny,
The snowman 'make over' went very well! He fits right in!

I am living vicariously through all of you, LOVE seeing the pictures of FINDS!

Skyler, thank you for keeping this post going every Monday, I so look forward to it!

Sonny, love your vignette and he sure looks at home.

Wanda sounds like a good deal on the chair.

I am trying hard to stay away from glass and dishes but it is hard. I have a small collection of amber glass pieces. This one was at sally ann and I had a 20% coupon so I picked it up for $4.50. It is an old piece, has a major seam in it.

thanks Mary Ruth and VG.

wow , love that amber glass Cake plate. what a great display piece that will be. congrats on a beautiful find.

Thanks Skyler for getting us started! Hope all the shopping and decorating is done...only ONE more week to finish!

Sonny, Love Dirty Snowman! So cute and clever to give a new coat of paint.

Wanda, A nice bargain for the chair and of course FREE always works too.

VG, Pretty piece for your collection and a coupon too. Nice to know they let you use them too.

Well excited to say that a little lamp re-do has been accomplished. After looking 1,000's of pics, finally found some that work.

The pic doesn't show that they are a pumpkin color on the bottom. Found the perfect tassles too. Looks like Minnie Pearl forgot to take the wrapper off the shade and the tag before the pic.

Sonny, it is so nice to see your vignette!! It looks fabulous! I cannot wait to see Wanda's chair redo, and I really want that amber dish!

Beau, I love the Minnie Pearl lamp!!! We are showing our age!!!

thank you BR and Grapefruit..

Minnie- ahhh I mean BR I do that too sometimes lol..

BR here's your pic a lil lighter and bigger so folks can see how pretty your lamps are. Hope thats ok .. love your glass canister with shells too.

Happy Monday to all. We are at my parents so I can't take time to look at all of the new threads, but I couldn't miss MMF. I love the snowman and seashells, Sonny, and thank you for your edit of Beau's Rose's picture of her perfect lamp find. Great bargain on the chair, WWanda. I look forward to seeing the "after" pictures. I can't resist a well-priced bit of china or glass either, Victorian Girl. Skyler, I hope you figure out how to post pictures from your new PC soon so you can show us your Christmas decor.

VG,
I love dishes with scallop edges, nice shape. I used a lot of Amber in my Virginia house. I even have droplets on my chandeliers that are Amber! You got a GOOD deal!

Beau's Rose,
Minnie Pearl! LOL I can see her smiling with that straw hat with price tag hanging on it!

Interesting lamps! Nautical theme!

Thanks Sonny, the larger photo does show them better. Interesting shape!

Skyler looking forward to pics too!

Grapefruit, Thanks, we were just tadpoles when she came out!

Sonny, Thanks for fixing the pic! You made it look Beau-tiful!

Graciepj, Yes, the best part of Mondays is the MMF thread. Enjoy your visit with your parents.

Mary Ruth, Her smile and "how-deee" was always fun!

Happy to do it BR..

Cute snowman! I'm sure he is happy to go to a good home!
The chair is going to be gorgeous.
I can picture a plum pudding with hard sauce on that beautiful amber plate, YUM!
The lamps are lovely and I can see them so much better in the second picture.

I found a Mark Roberts 36" 4 Calling Birds Fairy at a store for less than some of the small Mark Roberts fairies!! He needed a bit of glue and some stitching, but with some TLC, he looks great! I was actually looking at some of the smaller ones, but when I found him at that price...no way he was staying at the store, LOL.

I do love a great bargain!!

Merry Christmas and my T & P's for the families in CT.

Christmas Candy,
NOT long before it is your Birthday!

What a cute Fairy!
