After my mom's Dr. appointment yesterday, we stopped in Goodwill. I found a few more frames for stitcheries, but I found something that really surprised me.
A bedspread...It says Colonial Traditions (which confirmed why I liked it so) on the tag and it was just the size to use on either our bed or the guest bed. I put it on my bed just to take the picture so you could see it all spread out. Remember you can click on the pictures to see them up closer.
I don't know which bedroom will get a makeover first, but I could just envision it on either bed with a coverlet lying at the foot of the bed, and long homespun pillow shams at the top.
It is in mint condition. I mean there's not a pull, run, spot, or anything. It looks like it was never used. Even the cashier at Goodwill commented on what a lucky find it was and about the excellent condition of it.
Does anyone know anything about this design or pattern? It is hard to see in the pictures, but it has a big medallion in the middle. Along the border are flowers that sort of remind me of penny rug shaped flowers and tree shapes. Whatever it is, I'm excited that I happened to stroll through the linen section and spot it and for only $8.99!
So don't you think it's fair to tell Jason that it's time for a bedroom makeover? :) I'll tell him you said so! (I better not push my luck too much after the recent bathroom redo...that I'm still decorating by the way).
Have a great Thursday everyone! :)

Oh what a lovely find, Tammy. I've just gotten to know Jason....so I think I'll refrain from telling him it's time for another make-over/re-do!!!!
Susan
What a great deal!

Great find!! It's amazing some of things you can find at Goodwill.
I too had one of those for our old queen bed. I think it is called a Martha Washington spread but I am not sure. Your vision sounds perfect for it!!
hugs, Linda
Wow that is a great blessing!!!
Oh my gosh, what a bargain! It is so beautiful.
WHAT A FIND! The GW in my area never has deals like that...good for you-- it is gorgeous! I am sure hubs will agree to a make-over since you are so thrifty...he-he!
Its official! All Good Will stores are not created equal! *laughing* What a great find. I vote you should have your bedroom makeover. Sorry Jason. :)
Enjoy your day,
Debbie
Tammy you were definitely lucky there! Looks wonderful on that bed.
Hey Tammy, wow what a wonderful find. I just found a Goodwill about 45 min. away and I was thrilled because I knew you always find great stuff there. It's been years since I have been to one. I think the bedspread looks great. How about a 1 thing a week makeover...add one thing and take out one thing a week...in 5-6 weeks he'll see the change but maybe it won't be painful!!!1 Hahaha
Blessings,
Debbie
What a great find, Tammy! Very nice!!

Tammy I hope your mom had a good checkup at the doctors. Is that bedspread Chenille? I think it looks great and I would definitely add a coverlet to the bottom of the bed. You got a great deal on it. Unless I miss my guess, I think Jason will be fine with you suggesting a bedroom makeover. He sounds so sweet. Go for it. It can't hurt to try.

Tammy, that looks like the bedspread on my bed when I was a little girl... I bought a similar one a few years ago to use on our king bed in summer. It's on the bed now---but it's not nearly as pretty as the one you just got at Goodwill. Congrats!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
I absolutely L O V E it!
I have never been lucky with finding too many textiles!
You definately hit the jackpot!
What a great find. It will be perfect to add other prim items with, a throw quilt and pillows. Always fun to redo.
Debbie
It's beautiful! It reminds me of a bedspread my mom had a long time ago. Great find at an awesome price!
SCORE!! It looks great and yes and makeover should be in the makings!! Can't wait to see what you do!! Julie
I love colonial chenille. I have one that I use in summer but since we have a dog sleeping with us, it is in the guest room. Don't you just love Goodwill?
Hi Tammy,
Seems like forever since I've been over here to "see" ya!
I love your spread! Wonderful find!
I will have to look below and see if you posted about your bath...is it done?? I have missed so much lately...
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for your sweet comments on my blog.
