Friday's Find: A Dresser for Maddux & Answered Prayer!

Thank God it's thrifty Friday, y'all! As a frequent thrifter, I enjoy helping my friends find that certain something they have been hunting. For my friend Carly, it was a dresser for her son, Maddux.  It was back to school time and his closet was overflowing!  When she had a rare day off from her retail job and asked if I wanted to help them hunt, I was all in.  We agreed to meet at at our local thrift store when it opened a little later.  In the meantime, I was on my way to an estate sale.  When I arrived, this guy seemed to be waiting on me! I sent Carly a pic and she immediately texted back, "I want it!"  So of course, I ran to get a sold tag, while she and Maddux dashed over.  We had it loaded up by 9:30 and they still had the whole day in front of them...

Hometalk: Decorate a Dorm Room for Less Inspiration

Hello Friends! As a fairly new blogger, I have only recently learned about: 
                                           


Featured on Hometalk.com 


Here's a few things I have learned. First of all, it is a virtual fount of information right at your fingertips! I have been adding my blog posts, but anyone can join and benefit from countless tips on a wide range of topics.  Members have the option of posting questions for home, garden and DIY dilemmas.  There is a tab for Ask a Question and another for Find Pros.  I love that this information is available without having to pick up the phone or leave the house! You can imagine I was pleasantly surprised to be contacted by Liz, a Community Manager for Hometalk. She had seen my post on Dorm Room Style and asked if I would be interested in curating an inspiration board.  Would I? Ummm....yes!
