Upcycle, Repurpose, Reuse, Redecorate, and Vintage too

Upcycle, Repurpose, Reuse, Redecorate, and Vintage too! My passions, and what I love to do!

Welcome, and I thank you for finding me to visit with me also. I would like to note to everyone who drops by, visits, is passing through that I have worked on combining my blogs together. Yeah, I got too many of them....had good intentions. But, found it easier for Me, and for visitors if I combined my blogs so that I could better focus with everyone, and give the proper attention to things. Plus, it is much easier to respond to ya'll, and to do my postings with a designated one too. Sometimes I was duplicating, and I know how boring that can be!

So, if you found me here just hop over over by using the tab at the top, the first one, saying LilacsNDreams/LilacsNDreams Home, etc. Also, just give a click here, and that will take ya on over to LilacsNDreams home page also.

I am truly happy you stopped by, and was able to find this page. Just click above with the tab, or in the paragraph above with the links also. Hop on over to visit my main page, and see what is all being shared. 

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone, and hope you can enjoy the weather where you are. Warmer today, and loving it here! Take care, and see you all at LilacsNDreams home page. Toodles........ 

Second Time Treasures Has a New Blog Come Visit Me

Hello, and Welcome to all who are visiting, and have landed on my Second Time Treasures Page for LilacsNDreams. Glad to have you stopping by, and greatful for you to see this announcement as well too. I have MOVED! That's right...due to some circumstances, and a very long story....I have started a new blog on Monday, May7th. Didn't want to take a chance, and couldn't sit around waiting to see if things would be in my favor to reinstate this blog, or not. So, I jumped in, and went with it. 

Really simple to get to the new place by clicking on LilacsNDreams it will take you over, or you can also click on LilacsNDreams2.blogspot.com  OR  thriftstorejunkies2.blogspot.com  to come on over, and see everything there. There have been some minor changes, but most things are pretty much the same as before. Trying to make it feel like home coming into it.  Oh, yeah....if you click on one of the tabs at the top you will also land over on the new blog too.....hope I did it all right:) Not very computer literate, and doing the best I can to get through all of it:)

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have been to anyone, and am really sorry about this. Believe me, it is not something that was in my plans to do either. But, it is done, and I am moving ahead, and hope to see you all there as well too. 

Hey, thanks for stopping by, and visiting with me everyone. Have a wonderful day!!:)

 

Welcome to Second Time Treasures Blog and Ebay too

Hello everyone, and Welcome to Second Time Treasures! So sorry to have nothing to show...yet. I have projects around me that need to be finished. Just having a hard time with finding the time to complete some things when I am dealing with this house, priming rooms to be painted, contractors, and a landlord that might not like me soon. Sorry to say, but some days I am by myself doing it all....no pitty please. Just an explanation as to why things do take me a bit longer sometimes:)

Weather is getting beautiful out!! Horrid wind past couple of days, but I guess that is better than having snow too, right?:) Sorry to say I have not had much time with the wonderful weather changes to get out, and do some thrifting. But, have worked with customers on a sale here and there with different venues I sell with. That is always fun:) And...I did open another account with Ebay naming that one Second Time Treasures as well. LilacsNDreams will be my main account since I have had that since 2004, I have other venues I sell at with that same name, but thought maybe another account would help me a bit with working on some things with my inventory too. 

I am still trying to work on getting things ready to move to another state. I have gone through boxes, and donated, added some things for sale, and in the community either given some things away, or selling a few of our bigger things too. I have been going through boxes again...slowly....for the second time, changing my mind, and donating more things too. Heck, when I get to where we're going it will be a new area, new thrift stores, new flea markets, and more fun in getting things back into my collections. Some things I can replace, and have fun with it too...right?:)

Sorry, not really much news to add to this page of my blog, but sure do appreciate you visiting with Second Time Treasures today! Thanks for stopping by everyone, and see you again soon!:) Take care.....

Welcome to Second Time Treasures Blog Site

Welcome to Second Time Treasures Blog Site page everyone. Glad to have to you visiting with me! Yesterday I kind of got out of my slump of those darn old winter blues you can get. Don't take me wrong, we have had some really gorgeous weather, but some of it has to do with contractors that come and go here too. My house is so disorderly right now, and if I have anything to work on, due to limited spacing from boxes and containers all over, I have to use the kitchen counter tops a little bit to work. Ugh! But, so far been working ok for me.

I have a black cloche stand I hope to soon have finished. I need to add a little bit of white ribbon/lace to cover up a few bubbles that resulted from the mod podge sealer spray I used. I guess it was thicker than I thought, and it came back to haunt me a little bit. So sad as the piece was looking really good with the music paper I also added to it. Well, sometimes these things happen, and we have to be able to adjust with it, and fix it. Along with this I have 3 saucer plates that I have glued to glass candle holders. I am now in the process of adding some lace around the rims of the saucers....a yummy blue lace I found that matches with the blue rim the saucers have, and looks fab with the pinkish flowers in the center too. I also need to add a final coat of mod podge sealer to a white based glass cloche I am finishing up on too. I hope to have pictures soon to show you what projects have been done so far. 

I am anxious to get things done, and get them listed in my stores too. I hope others will like the work I have been doing so far. Well, working on keeping this a bit shorter today. Actually, long enough break, and time to get back to work. Thanks so much for stopping, and visiting with Second Time Treasures today. Always happy to have to drop on by. Make sure to visit all my other pages with the tabs I have at the top too. Just click, and go....like it like that!:)

Take care everyone, Happy Hump Day, and see you again soon. Till the next time.....Toodles.....

Red 2 Tier Snack Candy Nut Condiment Dish

Red 2 Tier Snack Candy Nut Condiment Dish.

Hello, Welcome to Second Time Treasures! Always glad to have you stop by. Above you will see 2 pictures to an item that I have put together. All 3 pieces were bought brand new from the store. I wanted to try something a little bit different. I used 2 small square shaped dishes with a nice ribbed design that goes all around them. The insides are completely white. Then, what to do, what to do to connect these pieces, and to make sure it was small enough to leave room on the bottom for serving purposes. I found this little mini glass vase, and figured let's flip it over. Put the smaller opening on the bottom, and the bottom of it underneath the top dish. I also turned the top dish slightly so that it was not a straight up, and down square with them. 

This item has been added to my store at Artfire . Stop on by there to see all the pictures to this, and the details too. Keep in mind with some of my items if you don't see them with my Artfire Store, make sure to also check my store at Etsy too. Sometimes items are listed with both places, and sometimes between one or the other too. 

Thanks so much for visiting with me. Ya'll take care, and we will see you again soon. Make sure you say Hi to me so that I can come visit with you too!:)
