Sometimes I feel like such a slacker.  I know, I’m just as busy as the next gal but that’s still no excuse. Christina at I Gotta Create bestowed the Versatile Blogger Award to me two weeks ago and I’m just getting around to posting about it.  It happened exactly 3 months to the day of what [...]

Hope you are having (or had, depending on when you read this) a great weekend.  Here in Ohio it’s been sunny but cool, hovering around 50 degrees.  Time for another installment of treasures I’ve found at the thrift store.

Well, I promised I’d share our basement remodel when I recapped September.  I figured since the month is almost over, I better get with the program and quit dilly-dallying.  Taking a week off has totally blown my schedule but it was SO worth it.

Time for another peek into what I found at various thrift stores. Last Friday while hubby was working with a client in Westerville, I was free to wander around Columbus.  I made a bee-line straight to one of my most favorite thrift stores, Volunteers of America.  This VOA is huge and CHEAP, as you will [...]

  Last week on a trip to my favorite thrift store, I found a place mat for 25¢.  Well, let me re-phrase that.  I thought I had two place mats.  Even the guy who rang up my order thought I had two.  He was going to charge me for two anyway, until the lady putting [...]
