I ran to Kroger today for a few things and noticed a 75% off table of books. Well, you know I can't pass up looking over a sale like that! Turns out these books were already marked 75% off the regular price and when I used my Kroger card it took
another 75% off! Sweet! One was $1.00 the other was $1.25. You can't beat that when you have an addiction to decorating books, that is less than most magazines!
Can you guess what this is? It has to do with the bedroom make-over. These buttons have been sitting in someones jar for 50 years or more. I debated whether to use them, and it was a tough decision because I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to these little beauties, but in the end they deserve their day in the sun and to be seen don't you think? Why leave them in a jar for another 50 years? So, do you know what this is? All will be revealed soon, I promise:>)

Cute idea on the buttons. I have the window treatment book and it is great!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!

Oh, I KNOW, I KNOW!!!! But I ain't tellin', chickee!! Great idea, sweetpea........
ReplyDeleteSmoochies,
Connie
I think they are either tie backs for the curtains or finals for the bed post or lamps...
ReplyDeleteAnd I have the Chic Country Style book and LOVE it!!!

Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteBooks and Buttons make a good day. I really enjoy decorating books and what a great deal. Magazines are so Expensive :( Really can't wait to see your curtains and button project !!!!!!!
Warmly, Deb :)
Found you by way of Meredith. Those books are a steal! I am wondering if they will have any next week when I visit my son. I'll be sure to check it out. Can't wait to see what the button thing is . Jackie
ReplyDeleteCute idea with the buttons! I have the window treatment book and I look at it often. I just need more windows so I can use more of the ideas I find in it. Can't wait to see your bedroom reveal. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book deal. The button looks intriquing. A button topiary? Rachael
ReplyDeleteHurry, hurry. I can hardly wait to see what you've created.
ReplyDeleteI always have that same dilemma when i consider using up buttons or special fabrics. Glad you took the leap. It's a very pretty ball of buttons and I can't wait to see if it will be a tassel, or a lamp pull, or a tieback, or a suncathcher ......oh my.....don't make us wait too long :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat deal. Hey, I was in Kroger yesterday and didn't see those! :) Love the buttons. I can't wait to see what it is.
ReplyDeleteAre they for on the ends of the drapery rod? I'm lovin them, whatever they are for.
ReplyDeleteGretchen
Ohh... I love that! Whatever it is, I LOVE it! :) I think it's a bed post ball. Finial? I have two bed posts that need some work and that is a fabulous idea! Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeletexoxo~

Hi Kathleen~I just found you through a comment on Kari and Kijsa's. Your blog is beautiful! Off to have a good look around.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! WOW, what an awesome deal on the books!! I am so jealous :)
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see what you are making :) My guess is the same as Gretchen??
Love ya,
Amy
Could it be a Christmas ornament ?
ReplyDeleteWe snapped up some books are Kroger too .. but they were only 50% off! I'll have to check the pile again and see if they are reduced some more! What a deal you got - and I love the button thingy! Button, button, whose got a button?
ReplyDeleteSuch intrigue........
ReplyDeleteM ^..^
A finial or a tassel top? I like it whatever it is. I need to head to Kroger.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love buttons. My dad used to get them for me at flea markets or auctions before he died. I love seeing your ideas!
ReplyDeleteThe books are wonderful and what a find! I love curling up with those kinds of books on long winter days!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what's happening with the buttons ...the suspense is killing me?
Mounted sideways on the wall, it could be something to hang necklaces from, maybe? Or maybe you could hang one of those old-fashioned handbags women used to carry, the metal kind?
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps it could serve as a closet doorknob if those buttons are superglued on?
A decorative accent to the four corners of a wall mirror (but you'd have to have three more, and I'm not sure you're willing to sacrifice that many buttons)?
gosh that was some great finds - love those buttons, I think they are for the ends of curtain poles :)
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, what a great deal on the books! and those buttons are so beautiful. Will they be a curtain rod finial?
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Mary
Find your award on my site ---ENJOY
ReplyDeleteAWESOME find on those books!! Wish our Kroger had a SALE!!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the many visits you make to our blog...and all the comments. We'd love to have a blogging get-together at our B&B, but...the B&B I think...is just a DREAM!!
~Blessings,
Jan
Hmmmm, I wonder what that will be...maybe a tie back.
ReplyDeleteGreat bargain on the books!
What a score on those books! I'm always looking for cottage decorating books but alas, they are never among the sale items in my neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dena
Well, I would have to agree with Penny! That is the first thing that popped into my head and then I read her comment..so I think I MAY be on the right track!
ReplyDeleteGREAT finds on the books! How fun!!!
xoxo
Becky
Love the books!!
ReplyDeleteNo clue as to the button ball...can not WAIT to see your pretty room!
love, bj
I need to go to Kroger! I never shop there anymore.
ReplyDeleteI am horrible at guessing games, my first thought was a lamp finial, but then I thought maybe a fountain, lol...I am sure I am so way off base ;)
Nice to meet you,
Bella
Out blog hopping and found your wonderful blog. Love the buttons..whatever you're using it for! Very cool look. I'll be back to see what it is...
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.....is tht a button topiary perhaps? I tried making a button ball one time and it didn't come off to well. I ended up sending it to the thrift store. I wish I had those buttons back. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to respond to your tag of sharing 5 loves starting tomorrow. It's been so long, do you even remember tagging me?
Hugs,
Lallee
Hi KAthy
ReplyDeleteAre the buttons part of the curtain rod? Great deal on the books by the way. Make sure you enjoy this last week before school starts again.
Hugs, Rhondi
Great books and even better when they are so inexpensive!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a button ball. So many ways to use them...
Love,
Sue
