DONNA'S - In The Attic

Beautiful Vintage Dresden Plate Quilt ~

Well, I still haven't finished piecing my "Modern Barn Raising" Quilt,

I Got Side Tracked!

Garry and I decided to get out and check out some area town Antique Shops.

We headed to Bandara Tx and look what I found ~

 

A Beautiful Vintage "Dresden Plate" Quilt ~

I Love It!

It is absolutely Beautiful . . .

and look what makes it even better ~

YES, . . . you are seeing it right,

Yellow Quilt - $21

I couldn't believe it - I knew it had to be wrong,

but it wasn't!

I Quickly Purchased it and now it has found its New Home!

It's not Perfect, . . . there are several worn spots, but that's what make it So Special!

I would love to know the story behind this Hand Pieced and Hand Quilted Treasure.

WOW,... IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

since I have posted anything on my Blog and  I am so excited to get started again!

There are a lot of things going on at the Shoppe and so much to write about.

Let's talk Chalk Paint®!

Before ~

  

After ~

I painted Old White Chalk Paint® right on the stained Armoire, no stripping or sanding!

For the second coat I used Old Ochre.

Then a quick coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax.

That's it!  So Quick and Easy!

This Armoire is available to purchase ~ $495.

HOOSIER CABINET ~

I just had to show you my latest "Diamond in the Rough" ~

Garry and I were heading to Amarillo a couple of weekends ago.  As we were passing through Panhandle TX, we spotted a Garage Sale!

There sat this Beautiful Hoosier Cabinet.  The owner was trying to decide a price to put on it. 

 I was standing a little distance away just waiting to see what she would decide on.

Suddenly, she placed the price tag on it.  

Hoping for a bargain, I went to check it out.

$15.00 ! ! !

I TOLD HER I WOULD TAKE IT.

She commented to her friends that she sold her Pile of Sticks.

I must admit it needs a little reinforcement,

BUT, . . .

I know Garry can Fix It Up for Me!

I am anxious to get started on it.

It will go in my New Sewing Shoppe as a Display Piece.

I have another Hoosier in my house and I just love it!

It was left in an old house that we purchased several years ago.

It was painted yellow, so I added a coat of burgundy and just sanded it a little.

It is one of my Favorite Pieces!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

HAPPY "PINK" SATURDAY ! ! !

Garry and I took off work at Noon Friday, with plans to go see Jana in Albuquerque this weekend (6 hours away).

I left work in a BIG HURRY to get home (37 miles away), so we could get on the road.

WELL, . . .

about 8 miles out of Town, on a little Country Road, in the Middle of Nowhere, going 70 miles an hour, I come over a Hill to see 3 Deer standing in the Road!

I Slammed on my brakes, but I couldn't miss the third deer.

Here are the results ~

. . .  much better than it could have been!

Thank Goodness for Cell Phones!

Garry, Chad, and Lori were there in 30 minutes with my car loaded on a trailer and headed to Canadian.

It put us a couple of hours behind, but we jumped in the Pickup and were on our way!

When we got to Jana's, at "Judy's Vacation Rentals", we were Treated to the Most Delicious Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas!

I forgot to take a Picture until it was to late, . . .  DOG GONE!

Thank you, Jeff and Michelle, for the Wonderful Meal!

 

The Fellowship was GREAT!

Now for my "PINK" Saturday Post ~

Judy was SO GRACIOUS to let me Share some of her Beautiful "PINK" Depression Glass with you ~
