My health hasn't been great of late, I have Lupus and Fibro, so haven't been able to tackle my Bedroom of Roses makeover. Presently, I'm sleeping on a double air mattress in my livingroom. But I am still gathering and collecting pieces to help put it all together when the time comes. So, since this past Friday I had to go for a doctor appt, I decided to check out the local thrift stores and see what I can find. At the top of my list was more vintage china with roses, interesting lamps to makeover, and possibly a smaller chair! Well, . . . I soooo really scored! I was just giddy when I found these
This set was $3.50 at half off! It is Delmar Rose - Iva-lure by Crooksville. There's 3 plates, 2 saucers, and a bowl.
This next set is more floral but still roses. I like the lacy-like work in between and the roses are such small
delicate clusters. This is a Knowles set and cost $4.00. There's 5 plates, a vegetable bowl, 2 bowls, and dessert plate.
I also found two lovely lamps which I'm thinking of painting an off white and distressing. What do you think, yes or no?
I love the details and as you can see the price wasn't bad either; $5.99!
I'm not crazy about the socket; I'd have to use the type of lampshade that snaps on with these. But I've rewired many lams before and it's simple enough.
I found this rooster plaque for $1.29 and it will go beautifully with the others in my kitchen!
I also found these great patterns for my granddaughters and to make some aprons.

Great finds.Love those dishes.Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne, I'm feeling a bit better. Thanks so much for stopping by. I think the plates will look lovely in my finished bedroom; whenever I get finished painting. I need to get out and buy more paint as the one I started with didn't work.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Barbe. I like the idea of distressing the lamp bases. I also love the new banner and background on your blog. Nicely done! :)
ReplyDeleteHiya Fern, I knew great minds would think alike! -_^ hahaha
DeleteThanks I'm working on the banner still, not quite happy with it yet. Hope you're still enjoying your trip.

I was so excited when I saw the Delmar Rose pattern; I've always loved it. And the price was right up my alley. Thanks, the blog look is definitely a work in progress . . .
ReplyDeleteSo how is your veggie baby hats coming along? Those last ones were amazing. And how about the greeting card business, any new designs? Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Linda, so glad you stopped by. I'm so still enjoying your blog and have met so many new bloggers through your parties. I have always loved the Delmar Rose pattern; didn't realize the gold trim was of such high number.
DeleteI am finally feeling better and getting some projects ready to complete my bedroom makeover so I can do a reveal! Hope your weekend is going well.
