Life Thursday #26 with Features from #25!


I found this great basket a while back...


It sat for a while holding some "paint this" and Etsy-bound stuff...

It wasn't bad...it was stained a deep red-ish brown - and I don't really have that color anywhere. 


I wanted it white or gray. Or grayish white.

Aplolgies for not posting last night...and prayers requested for my mom, who went into the hospital yesterday with a blood clot in her leg. She'll be there several more days, and she's ticked - she wants to be home doing what she likes!




Anyway, I drove to her town and took a few things to make her stay more acceptable...mostly in the form of chocolate.

Now...for last week's features!

Kimberly, from Camp and Cottage Living, shared a most charming screened porch with us! I LOVE screened porches. Take a peek at how she used a vintage chenille bedspread below, and visit to see a lot more vintage charm.



Cecilia from My Thrift Store Addiction shared her Secret Garden with us...I will be pinning her garden for inspiration in my own weedy space. 


Michal from Sweet Woodruffs shared a lovely vintage vignette. Not only does it look great, but it holds items she uses daily - Epsom salts, natural beauty products, make-up brushes, etc. 


THRIFTY LIFE THURSDAY #26

Gathering Guidelines:

This is a gathering for people who enjoy hunting for treasures 
that may have previous experience or lived a former life elsewhere. 

Please share items that are second-hand or are composed of second-hand materials.

Types of Posts to Share:
    • Home decor, furniture, collectibles, garden items and even wearables are welcome, as long as they have a second-hand element.
    • Please, no food items, new pieces from "real" stores, or crafts, unless made with upcycled, thrifty finds.
    • Hand-me-downs and curbside finds are welcome, as are items found in thrift stores, garage sales, antique shops, flea markets and other interesting places.
    • Treasures may be listed as you found them, or with your updates, tweaks, and re-purposes; befores and afters are both welcome.
    • Items need not be "vintage" but must be pre-owned or second hand.
    • Posts including Etsy and other shop links are welcome! For visitor enjoyment, please link to your blog post, not directly to your Etsy shop. 
    Etiquette:
      • Though it is not a requirement, it would be lovely if you would follow Revisionary Life  via Bloglovin', Blogger or subscribe via email. Links are located in my sidebar to the right.
      • Please link your post (not your blog address) back to Revisionary Life.             
      • Please visit at least one other party friend.
      • I'd love for you to comment and introduce yourself if we've never met before. :) Otherwise, don't feel obligated to leave a comment. 
      Features:
      • Featured items must meet the criteria above. 
      • Only posts that link back may be featured.
      • I will try to leave a comment or email you and let you know if you were featured!

      Word for the Day:
      Hebrews 10:24-25
      24
       And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 
      25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, 
      but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

      Thank you, Revi, for the feature!
      I hope your Mom's back on her feet again soon.
      My family has inherited the gene for blood clots so I can understand what she's going through!
