I had a very busy week last week. Kept hoping to pop in here and do a nice long post, but it was just one thing after another all week. I had a few days in bed with more of the same pain I have had all these months. My Dr. had said it might be a while before the pain fully goes away. I hope that is all it is. I am going in to see him tomorrow just to be safe. I bought a few things at the thrift store last week, and cleaned them up and played around with them a bit. I might add a rose to each candle holder, what do you think ? They need something, maybe some seam binding and millinery ? Hmmmmm. The little jar is sweet with my new brooch that hubby got me for Christmas. I will fill it up with some good stuff, just cant make up my mind what. :) Having creative blocks. lol
Ok, here is the fun part !!! I am doing my FIRST Bloggie giveaway !! I hit my first 100 sales on Etsy and want to share the LOVE !! :) So, ANYONE that leaves a comment on my blog, is entered. Hopefully you will have pity on me and give me a tip on those candle holders. I will draw a name on Sunday the 20th and announce the winner on Monday morning the 21st. The prize is my sweet Valentine party hat !!!
And ......................If that wasn't enough fun and excitement for you, My 50th post is two posts away, so I will be having another give away in about a week or so. Are you still breathing ? Or did you pass out on the floor from all of the excitement ? I know I personally am sucking on the smelling salts as we speak. Oh. thats right, you aren't supposed to eat them !! Hmmmmmm...........................lol.

Love the goodies you have bought.
I love the candleholders as they are - without any roses.
A giveaway- what fun.
Hope you are soon feeling better.

Love all your thrifty goodness. You will have to show us the cute jar when you have things inside! Thanks for the giveaway. Love that hat. I would wear it too!!!! Your little love shacks are pretty sweet in the post below. Hope you're feeling better Rhea.
Rhea, I have been eyeing this wonderful party hat for two weeks. It's my birthday Thursday and I keep telling myself I NEED it for my birthday party.
I'm so happy to have the chance to be part of your Thrift Shop blog give-away! Thanks for inviting me.
Please feel better soon.
xoxo

The candle holders look very nice the way they are but I am sure some flowers added would also be pretty.
Love your finds :)
Hope all is well for you!
Love your new goodies, I think they would look pretty with roses painted on the glass. Love that valentine hat!!!
Shirl
Rhea, I love those candle holders as they are. Such a pretty color too.
Your hat is adorable and when I win, LOL, I have the perfect spot in my house for it. Hehehehe
Miss Rhea, so sorry you are still having pain, that really stinks...i hope you are feeling all better very soon:) LOVE your thrifty finds, i like the candles how they are but i see a comment suggesting roses painted on the glass and i just know you would do a fabulous job with that...i adore your sweet little hat and would be thrilled to win...pop over to see me, i am having a give~away too!!!
Hey Honey!
2 things...first...does it defeat the purpose if I enter the Blog-Away?
Second, and possibly more important...you're NOT supposed to leave the price tags on when you show pictures of your projects ya goof!!! LOL
I love you Honey! :P
Rhea...you are NOT going to believe me..but last week I put one of those soft pinky tops to a crystal candle holder and painted roses on it! Okay...do we have great thinking alike minds or what...and how many miles away are we from each other! I have had them both tucked in my closet, forever, saw them the other day and painted some roses on the glass...but they will probably go in my living room....now you have such a special touch with all you do, whatever you do will be amazing!
The hat is just adorable! I DO hope you get to feeling better..don't forget to ask the doc about what I told you!!!!
Lorena
Very nice! :)
Rhea, love your new goodies and can't wait to see what you do with them. The hat is adorable and fun. The jar with the brooch is gorgeous.
hugs, Celestina
Your blog is so pretty! I would love to be including in your giveaway...Thank you so much for inviting me over!! xxoo, Dawn
An idea for the candle hurricanes- how about some of those rub-on flourishes they make for scrapbooking? Of course, I don't know if they are flameproof- and the candles are pretty just as is...love the Valentine hat. Can I ask where do you get your frilly paper fringe?
Oh Miss Reha, I am sorry you are not 100% better yet!
You are in my prayers sweetpea!
Love the junk store finds...I say the candle holders really do need your roses on them...that would be the icing on the cake!
I would love to win the valentine hat....I could then wear it for my birthday....next month!
Te-hee!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
Luvs ya,
hugz and blessings, Dolly
Rhea, I received my Beautiful H.P.
Rose Valentines today!!! They are
Gorgeous :) Thank You for the Precious Teapot...All your items are lovely,so yes please enter me:)
Hope the Dr. gives you a good report tomorrow. Hugs, Mary :)
The jar looks good with the broch and ribbon. I guess you have som short pieces of lace or ribbons you can fill it up with. The candleholders look right just as they are, after you painted them white.
That little Valentine party hat is adorable.
Hope that you will feel better tomorrow /linnea-maria
Oh! I have an idea for the candleholders. How about placing a clear glass saucer underneath and turning the candleholder upside down, then fill the inside with some pretty Valentine's Altered Art. Orrrrrrr...Leave them the way they are on top of the candlestick and make cute lil bird's nests out of them.
I can't wait to see what you come up with, you're gonna show us right?
Hope your pain goes away soon and the Doc will figure this out.
What wonderful finds!! Congratulations on upcoming 50 posts!! Love the party hat..please sign us up!!
blessings,
kari & kijsa
I hope you feel better soon, Rhea!!
I love what you did with those things you bought! So pretty!!! I think the pink candle holders look lovely just as they are! But I'm sure whatever you do to them will look amazing!
*Hugs* Dara
You're having a creative block?! Gasp! No really, I know how that feels. I think those jars need some of your gorgeous roses painted on them and then seam binding and lace. Foof them up a bit! I hope you're feeling better soon Rhea!
What a pretty giveaway! :)
Miss Rhea,
I love the goodies you bought and how you spiffy them up! I think a hand-painted rose would be lovely on the candle holders.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and the prayers for my DH... I hope you will get a good report from your dr.today.
Pink hugs,
Karen

Hope you are feeling better soon, the recovery after surgery can be so hard. Take care, listen to the doctors and follow their rules, I used to try to do too much after surgery and would end up with complications. REST!
Loved those little jars. I can hardly wait to see what you do with them!! I want anything you give away.... sign me up. And congrats on selling 100!!

I just found your blog!!! Yippee for me! I love your stuff.

Beautiful hat! Hope your pain has subsided. I think a nice piece of vintage ribbon on the candle holders would bee nice.
I just happened upon your blog this past week through a link on another. Am I glad I did. I've read each of your entries, even hopped on over to your hubby's. What a lovely world you have created. I've enjoyed every moment spent here and look forward to stopping in often.
I hope i win! all your things are so pretty rhea!!
Wow! Look at all the comments!
I kinda like the candles in the ring of flowers. I know. I'm not much help. I really like the jar with the ribbon and brooch. I just a few minutes ago packed up a jar to take to the store. I was wondering what to do with it. I probably can't make mine look as good as yours, though.
Everytime I see your pink frenzy -it just brightens my day.
Your blog is BEAUTIFUL and soooooo inspiring! Thank you for sharing all the gorgeous pics and ideas! Love the party hat - absolutely adorable!
Blessings to you and your health. I hope you're feeling ALL better soon!
