Happy New Year Blogland Bloggers and Website Visitors

Happy New Year Blogland, Bloggers, and Website Visitors!

Welcome to Second Time Treasures which is a page of LilacsNDreams. Always happy to have you visit, say Hi, and share with us all here too. So, how was Christmas for everyone? Good I hope, and I do hope that all were able to celebrate and have a joyous time too. I know some are still celebrating Christmas with all the festivities, and arrangements made to have time with all the family, and friends. Gotta love it, right?:)

Any New Years Eve plans? Not really for me here. Just pretty much at home, on the computer, and trying to get things done for the New Year coming. Organizing, gluing, finishing a few projects, and hoping to complete some so that I can show them here too.  And....to work on packing some more boxes for donations.

I am itching to go Thrifting, and Junking, but am trying to limit myself some too. I need to reduce some of the inventory at home here, and have been boxing some things for donations too. I know after the first of the year some will be cleaning their homes as well. Making room for maybe some things they received, or preparing for spring time too. Not only am I preparing for these things myself, but it looks like we are going to be moving. Out of town, and out of state. Soooo.....I have to narrow some things down a bit. First down sizing a bit which will then help with what I will be packing. Nervous for the move, but yet excited too. The weather will be better for me health wise, but also for me to work on different things more with gluing, and painting too. Also, to be in a different area to attend different flea markets, and to go junking with is exciting as well too. I am anxious for that myself:)

Wish me luck getting some projects done this weekend. Since there will be no contractors around working on the house, banging, and etc....hopefully I can get a bit done. I have a room I need to clear out for some measurements, and for new walls and a closet too. THAT will be a chore in itself! Where to put everything, I don't know yet. But, it will get done:) Take care everyone, and thanks for visiting with Second Time Treasures. Happy New Year! Have fun, enjoy, and be safe all! See you soon.

Merry Christmas to All Second Time Treasures Visitors

Merry Christmas to all Second Time Treasures Visitors!

Glad to have you here, and that you could stop by quick to visit, and say Hi too! It's Thursday, and just in a few more days the BIG day is here for us....CHRISTMAS! Where did this year go? It has been great blogging with all of you, sharing things, and learning along the way too. After Christmas, and when things calm a bit I will probably be out myself looking at the Thrift Stores, and finding more treasures to work with. Many...like me....will be cleaning out areas to make room for some of the new things they received. 

I wish you all well, and a blessed new year too. May you have a beautiful Christmas. Have fun, enjoy, and be safe Everyone!

                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Repurposing Cake Plate Stand Tier Cake Plate

Hello, and Welcome to Second Time Treasures! Glad to see you here, and that you could stop by. So very sorry I have been MIA (missing in action) everyone! This past month has gotten away from me. We have had contractors in, and out of the house working on a room being converted to a bathroom. But, before doing all of that in full they have been working on the exterior of the house. Siding, insulation, 2 porches, new door, new window trimmings, cutting hole in wall and putting in 2 new windows, and you know.....just things like that. 

Unfortunately, my house has been in a shambles, and not able to do much of anything. My working area is disorganized, wall hangings are on the floors and tables while they are pounding away outside, and things like that. I have been itching to do some gluing, painting, repurposing, and some crafty things. Just kind of hard to do it, and be able to enjoy it with everything happening. 

I did get some more cake plates, and a 2 tier plate made. The 2 tier plate, and the 1 cake plate stand were all made with a matching plate, and glass candle holders. Saturday night I came home with some ribbon I had found to tie a bow around the base of the cake plate. I love the rose colors, and the greens in the bow. Adds to the decor of the green plate with a light brown swirl in it for design. Yes! I will show pictures as soon as I can set my area up to do so. 

Thanks again for visiting with me, and see you again soon. I wish you all well, and a HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON too! Take care everyone.
