Monday Madness

It was a much colder day here on Monday. Brr!  Temperatures dropped about 20-30 degrees from Friday's temperature.

Monday is my all-out cleaning day, but I had to shampoo a few carpets (thanks to some naughty cats).  I'll have to finish the rest of the house later this week.  However, I was able to get about 4 loads of laundry done, including some of the goodies I bought over the weekend.  Here are a few more items I got:

 









 Here is the sewing box I found at an antique mall.  It's not stained and in great condition.


And because it wouldn't be right to return home without some "bling" (ha ha!) I bought this snazzy pair of pink dangles for $5.00 (also from the antique store).

those aprons are Wow!
I like aprons-- should wear them more, but I forget.
Maybe I should hang them up in plain view...decor bonus and reminder to wear them!
It's been nice here-- upper 80's will be washing and hanging out laundry today myself.

Wonderful finds. I have a difficult time finding nice linens at consignment stores. perhaps people beat me to it?

Pat, those aprons were $2/each. I found them at an antique store. Some times I am lucky and find them in the thrift stores for $1.00/each.

Wow! Did you ever hit the jackpot! All those linens are lovely and that red and white tablecloth I have too. It must have been popular "back in the day" because I saw one on an old rerun of Roy Rogers the other day. LOL! You get such good deals! Congratulations! Oh, the sewing box is lovely too and the "gems".
