Time to catch up with my recent thrift store purchases. First up… Six faux apples…These will go in a glass vase I found this week.  All 6 were $.75.  They even have fabric blossoms on the bottom.   Three matching candle sticks…$.50 each.  You can see a chunk out of the middle one,  I [...]

  Apparently, I’ve been on a real craft making kick lately.  I’ve probably done more craft type projects in the last month than I’ve done in the last year.  I guess I can’t help it with all the inspiration I get from visiting all the great link parties out there in blogland.  Since I don’t [...]

  Friday I did some yard sale hopping.  At my second sale I picked up this funky picture frame which totally looks like a haunted house.  I wasn’t completely sure what I was going to do with it, but I bought it anyway. This thing has definitely been floating around since the ’70′s.  Gee, I [...]

  Apparently, I’m a little behind in showing you my latest thrifty finds.  There is lots to see, so let’s get started. First up is Goodwill.  We actually have 2 of these in our small town.  One is much larger than the other but I try to check them both out. This find is from [...]

  Ever have one of those days where you feel like you hit the jackpot?  I don’t mean the lottery {I wish!!}.  I mean you are looking for something new to get the creative juices flowing.  And you find it…in spades. A couple days ago I made a trip to Dollar Tree.  Love, love, love [...]

 Just a quick update:   Roeshel over at DIY Showoff is having a Fall Festival full of Fall inspired projects.  Jump on over and check out all the cool Fall ideas.  I’ve linked up, too.    DIY Fall Festival            

    Ok, I guess I’ve put this off long enough.  I’ve been dragging my feet, debating whether or not I wanted to share my last two projects.  I’ve kind of put myself on a spending freeze, mostly because I’ve been feeling guilty about spending too much on a couple purses (see here).  So I’ve [...]

First off, I have to say I’ve never been a slave to fashion.  I’m a jeans and t-shirt kinda gal.  A pair of gold hoop earrings, diamond stud earrings and a simple gold chain (all Christmas gifts from my darling hubby) are my everyday wear.  My purses have always been yard sale or thrift store [...]

  While I’m typing this the weather outside here in central Ohio is in the high 90′s with what feels like 100% humidity.  Not that I want to wish the warm days away but I’m definitely ready for a 20 degree drop and some cool nights.  Sunday’s forecast is for a high of 71, yay!! I’m [...]
