Well, I had to stop and think what would be trash to treasure for me? I would have to say almost everything I have someone might have thrown away....I have the knack of finding things that probably no one else wants, or
bringing out the hidden beauty that can't be seen with the naked eye...
These are some of the Nancy Ann Story Book Dolls I bought on ebay. They look pretty bad huh? Well, with a little tlc and fluffing and primping....
I washed, ironed and repaired their clothing...
Here they are ready for their debuit at the Christmas Tea...
When I found this settee down the street in an alley, it was in pieces. The side was off and the back split down the middle and in shreds. Most of my furniture was in sad condition when I found them....
My husband wasn't too happy with me when I drug this chair on to the porch from a yard sale....
He loves it now....He asked me where did you get that from....
I am sorry, I am having fits with typepad right now. These are a couple more of my trash to treasure chairs..
This will be a short post because I am off to a flea market to find more treasures, Happy Sunday Pinkie
Like they say one woman's trash is another woman's treasure and you certainly have a good vision on what something can become.
Enjoy your Flea market and your Sunday Pinkie!

If I bring one more chair home my hubby might scream. I have a vintage green loveseat sofa and a chair in my living room to be recovered. The chair is naked, down to the wood and the couch is waiting for me to ATTACK! I rarely take before and after pictures, but will have to start. Love the furniture, thanks for sharing.

Those dolls look terrific! So does the furniture. Do you do your own reupholstering? What treasures did you find today?

Pinkie, the transformation you performed on the sweet dolls is amazing...they look SO sweet after you worked your magic on them...i have a few that are shabby and have no idea how to go about rehabbing them...
LOVE the settee...it is SO gorgeous and the fabrics you used are just stunning!!!
