Ooo, what have we here?
Thrift goodies, of course! Most of 'em waitin' for an amazin' transformation. A couple of things are to copy Marty at A Stroll Thru Life. The paper whites? They look so real. They were just dirty, so got a good cleaning. Total for everything: A whoppin' $13. (By the way, if ya'll can't tell, I've been havin' too much fun with my photo shoots and edits - {smilin' ear-to-ear!}.)
On to my decorating dilemma: Now as far as dilemmas go, this should be an easy one. What should I do with this?:
I'm linking with these sweet hostesses:
Oooo, keep it! I would just use it to decorate with and I definitely wouldn't cover it. Maybe put a framed pic of your parents on top, since it was their bible?
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to see what you do with all your treasures. As for the Bible, I would definitely keep it. A precious keepsake, then I am so sentimental anyway. Ok, so hurry up and finish your creations and show us. lol Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Kim!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm probably the wrong person to ask, but I would keep it. I am sentimental about things and there is something about a bible that I find hard to get rid of at our house, too! Love your finds!! I have been spending WAY too much time at the thrift stores lately. Even a few dollars starts to add up!
ReplyDeletehi! just stopping by to let you know you won my ampersand pillow cover giveaway! i announced it about a week ago but hadn't heard from you yet so I thought I would come let you know! E-mail me and we'll work out address info and what not :) thanks and congrats!!
ReplyDeleteKeep it! Keep it! Keep it! Hehe...that's my vote on the Bible.
ReplyDeleteGreat thrifty finds, too! I can't wait to see what you do with them!
I would keep that family bible and maybe use it to bring some height to a display. Luv that little lamp! Thanks for coming to my NTT party...hope you had a good time:)

What a great group of treasures. I agree - keep the family Bible. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I will have to get back to you with the "true" definition of ironstone.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Kim! That little lamp is so cute and just the right size for a kitchen counter. Or it looks like it is! The paper white do look real. I may be the odd one but I can't stand the smell of real ones! So fake is good for these.
ReplyDeleteGreat book! I'd definately keep it: prop it on a shelf, put it in a plate rack.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting my button. Looking forward to having you with us.

So I know it was meant to be a gift, but it never was gifted. I think people have way too hard of a time de-junking. There is such a thing as too sentimental. If it was any other book I'd say rip out the pages and use them for a craft. This one however, either keep and display or pass it on so it can be put to good use!
ReplyDeleteIf it is special to you, I say cover it with some cute paper and use it to decorate on a table or shelf.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely keep it b/c it has some family significance to it. Just be sure to add a note to the inside so others know why it's important. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Kendall's idea of displaying it with a (wedding?) photo of your parents on top. Make a little vignette with it!
Thank you so much for linking up to my party! I hope you have a fun time visiting around. :)
I say keep it! I like Kendall's idea of using it in a display. If you don't want to display it I say tuck it away so you can pass it down!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great keepsake. Maybe buy a shadowbox and put the book in it along with a picture of your parents. Or find some way to display it along with a picture of them. That is awesome!

since you have thought about donating it, why not ask relatives. - your kids or siblings if they want it. Hopefully someone else would love to have it
