Hi!!  How is everybody?  I have missed you all terribly. I must apologize for the tardiness of posting.   I can hardly believe that I haven’t posted since the beginning of February.  I have to give mad props to all the ladies who can manage to post multiple times per week.  I don’t know how [...]

Hi!  How are you?  Have you missed me? Working has put a little bit of a damper on my creative juices.  I have just been too tired to even think about being creative.  But that hasn’t stopped me from hitting the thrift stores a couple of times.  So let’s see what I’ve found lately. First up, [...]

  Just a quickie little post to share some of my thrift store finds… All four of these vintage Avon bottle Christmas ornaments were a whopping 25¢ each.  There were several others and now I’m kicking myself for not buying all of them.  But I only picked out the ones that fit with my copper [...]

Pin It     I’m sure wreath making is not my forté but since I keep finding the forms pretty cheap, I’ll keep trying.  Here is what I did with some Goodwill and yard sale forms I found. Please note:  While I don’t expect you to find the exact same things I do, I hope [...]

  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 [...]

  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’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 [...]
