"Found Items"

Last week I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get a shower curtain liner. I should never be allowed to go in that store. I totally lose control. I want everything there. Sometimes I want two of everything in there. That shower curtain liner cost me ... well, lets just say a lot and stop there.


I found this great seasonal placemat:






And then I found in my stash that great fabric it's lying on. I cut a square, hemmed it, and stitched the placemat in the middle.




Isn't that just wonderful...$5 for the placemat and fabric from the stash and I have a great table topper!

    Very cute! I also went into Bed, Bath and Beyond last week to get a shower curtain liner. I don't get there often and I forget how wonderful that store is. We spent lots. So between us, the store should stay afloat another year! ~Jeanne

    Marlene, you SAVED money because that piece of fabric was just going to waste and now it's being USED! Very fun!

    We should have gone to BB&B together! I have a 20-percent-off-everything coupon! The bargain on your table covering should just about cover the cost of the shower curtain. Yes?

    NO! I wanna know how much you spent. I need to feel justified that someone else is just as out of control in that place as I am.

      That is really impressive, I had heard of this before but never read up on it. I will have to go and see if there is anything I am interested in.
