If you read about my trip to Joanns a few days back, here is what I bought that day. It just felt good to go in and buy some things I've been wanting! First, a feather boa.
Remember this lampshade I did a few years ago and just moved from the family room to the living room? Well, take another look below.
Seeing a recent lamp with feathers on it gave me this idea for the bottom of the shade instead of a piece of scrap lace.
I like this much better.
And all it took was part of a feather boa glued around the bottom.
At night with lights on.

Cute
Also this is the bucket I bought to hold my wrapping paper. I may paint it white, however.
I found this little straw dispenser on their 70% off aisle and snatched it right up for a few dollars. Score!
These darling ice cream dishes for about $2.00 each were a plus since we got the new ice cream maker and have been making ice cream 2 or 3 times a week.
Miss Caroline wasn't forgotten. I bought her this plate for when she comes to visit Nana.
I bought 3 boas just in case I have something else to decorate with them.

I think this little cottage along side the road is adorable.
Would you look at this cute apron?
Gonna celebrate my shopping day with cupcakes!
Your lampshade looks even lovelier with the feather boa around the bottom!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures too!
You have made your lamp even prettier, Connie.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the lamp, AWESOME! You are so very creative. I enjoyed all the photos, so sweet and pretty. I pinned your cupcakes to my cupcake board on Pinterest.
