progress and new dishes...

I have been wanting new dishes for awhile, but being cheap, oops, I mean frugal, I have been shopping for awhile...

I wanted white and had fallen in love with some from JC Penny's...

but they were $99.99 for a 20pc set,

to much...

they went on sale for $59.99, but I can wait...

$39.99, getting better...

went back and looked in the clearance...

and they were $19.99 and I had a coupon,

if you spent $100 you get $20 off,

so I bought five sets for $80

not bad for 120pcs...

here is the progess I have done on the open cabinets...

I removed the doors and filled in the holes from the hinges,

and added some beadboard wallpaper...

I am going to do one shelf at a time, so I can put the dishes back in...

I can't believe how much bigger it looks!

I am joining these parties...

                                     

 

                                                      

    

goodbye...

goodbye cabinet doors...

its been fun...

but, I am moving on...

I am loving the open cabinets, so I am taking some of the top ones off...

eeeekkk, I am going to get that look when my husband gets home from work....

its ok!!! I made cookies!!!!

my kitchen is soooo hard to take photos of!!

Introducing....

Colette!!!!
Isn't that a pretty French name....
I finished adorning my dress form and I think she turned out sooooo pretty....
(remember this post)

I got the best idea from Nicki @ A Vintage Farmhouse (gorgeous blog by the way!)

to use a antique lamp base, and being the hoarder that I am, I had one!!!!

LOVE IT!!!

just perfect...

then to cover her bottom...

vintage lace and gorgeous lace roses, which can you believe came off a skirt that my daughter out grew...

more rosettes and some lace to cover her tattered shoulders...

I noticed that she was missing something...

there, a glass knob to finish her off...

I started putting on the charms,
 she is going to my booth...(with a NFS tag on her)
she is there just to look pretty and sale charms...

 

I think she is perfect!

and I can fit alot of charms on her...

lol...so I better get busy soldering!
