Thrifted Treasure Bags

I needed some binding for the white quilt I have planned, so my guy and I went to a Goodwill we haven't visited before to see if they had any in their craft section. There were lots of supplies bundled up in bags, and what I spotted in this one for $5.99 made me grab it.

I've been wanting some heavy duty kitchen gloves to wear to protect my hands when I scrub pots, but I wasn't willing to pay the $6.99 my market wants for them. This bundle had four new pairs in my size in sealed bags, plus two pot holders and a Kitchen Aid oven mitt (these retail for six bucks) in brand-new condition. I don't need the leather care kit, so I'll donate that back to our Goodwill, and I'm not sure what the sling thing is, but the rest made it a great buy.

This bundle was a bit pricier at $8.99, but you'll see why I bought it when I spread out everything.

The vintage binding, which was apparently $1.34 at Wal-Mart at some time in the past, currently retails new for $3.99 a package (so $23.94 worth.) These are the old 4-yard packages, too, versus the 3-yard Wrights puts out presently. They're all in new condition. The quilt pencil costs $4.99 new, and the heat-n-bond is $5.99 new, and I use both. The other notions are also very usable, especially the pack of embossing card stock, which is just the right size to make gift tags.

Gifts

This is a story that starts out very sadly, so if you're depressed by the holidays you might want to skip the first part. As far back as I can remember I've dreaded the holidays. Being poor, having constant family troubles and belonging to a strict religion made that time of year always pretty unhappy. I just hunkered down and hoped to get through without being yelled at or punished because I didn't do something I was expected to do, like sit in church for hours without moving or making a sound while a priest spoke mass in Latin. Gifts were uniformly disappointing, too. My mother usually gave me dolls or socks or underwear for Christmas. I understand now as an adult that she was doing the best she could, and trying to save money at the same time, but as a kid I'd been told good children got what they wanted for Christmas. I was a pretty good kid, but while my friends received new bikes and cool toys and lots of treats from Santa, I didn't. I thought San

We Have Backsplash!

Yesterday my guy and I decided to chose this natural stone as the backsplash tiles for our new kitchen counters (which will be in the same quartz I'm holding at the bottom of the photo.) Since all the bids for installing the backsplash came in very high my guy is going to put it in himself; he's done a bit of tile work in the past, too. I swear there is nothing this guy can't do. :)

Detoxing Results

For twenty-four hours I left these five vintage cigar boxes sit with detoxing agents (baking soda, coffee grinds, dryer sheets, vinegar and Febreze) inside them to see which worked best to remove the tobacco/storage odors that came with them. I then removed the agents and did a sniff test. Before we get into the results, a reminder: none of what I do is ever meant to be expert advice, as I am certainly not an expert at anything. Follow my methods at your own risk, and please first consult an actual antique expert conservator or restorer to detox items that have value for you. Okay, let's see how my experiment worked. Baking soda (left) did nothing to remove the odors. I think if I let it sit for a longer period of time it might have done something, but for a 24-hour test it was a complete fail. Coffee grinds (right) removed 100% of the odors, and left behind definite coffee scent. I like that and think it goes very well with wood, but if you don't like the smel
