Mirrors, Peddler's Mall, and a craft

So I mentioned that a new peddler's mall opened in Lexington. Its huge. I am so excited. I love peddler's malls, flea malls, antique malls...junk malls. :) They make me so happy. A friend and I went to this new peddler's mall last weekend. I had some good finds including a green lamp (I'll show you later), a glass lamp (again, another post), some blue glass ball jars with zinc lids, and a mirror. Not just any mirror...but a matching mirror. What does it match? Well, it matches my mirror that I found on craigslist...as in, it is the same mirror.  I now have two!  This is what I did.  I decided I did not like the awesome gold color...still.  So I primed and painted it white, and hung it on the wall in my living room.  I had been given some shelves.

The problem is, they are a nice butter color.  So I sanded them down, and repainted them white. When I finally got to the painting part (after priming) this happened:

Can you see it?  The cracking paint on the corner there?  So I scraped it all off, started over.  I finally finished them, and now they are hanging with my new mirrors.

What have I put on there?  Well let me show you.

 

And

These are the ball jars I found at the peddler's mall for $2 each!  My birdies are from DT, and the candles are as well.  Those are candle stick holders and hurricanes held together with some e6000 and a candle placed in there.

This is in the kitchen (please don't mind Hubby--he did most of the work on hanging this stuff, and it looks great-thank's babe!).  Again, I have my DT birds, and the blue tea light holders I also found at the DT.  I like the blue in my yellow kitchen.  And the same with these candle holders as before.

So, that's what I've been working on...Oh-and hubby and I are hoping to finish our last mirror project. :) Also in the next post (when I show our last mirror), I can't wait to show you my mantle and what I got for FREE at the ReStore!

Thanks for your patience while I've been trying to fit in the blogging during my time at nursing school.

New Peddler's Mall

I apologize that I have been absent this past week.  I got caught up with some school stuff-by the way I ended up with a "B" on my nursing test last week-and I was wanting to finish a project.  That didn't happen...instead it has kind of turned into another fiasco similar to the lampshade.  BUT that was all fixed today with a brief shopping excursion.

We have a new peddler's mall that opened up in Lexington on April 1. I have not had time to go until this weekend.  When we went, it was packed, we were rushed, and its THREE buildings AND an upstairs...OH MY GOODNESS!  So, 2 1/2 hours later, we still hadn't made it through and had to leave.

Today I went back with a friend of mine, and I have some AWESOME goodies to share-and hopefully I will be able to reveal the rest of the living room makeover.  I am soooooooo excited!!
