Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Ready for this week's fab features? My first find is an example of how I pair new items with vintage treasures.
Happy Wednesday, Friends! It seems like most of you are probably still having winter weather with hopes of spring on the horizon, so today I'm sharing a hearty soup that's the perfect comfort food for chilly nights. Plus, it's healthy, can be prepared in the crockpot and is oh-so-thrifty!
Hi there, Friends! Anyone who's watched an episode of Fixer Upper understands why farmhouse style is all the rage. While I love the show and admire the style, I'm not a fan of the mass produced frenzy to replicate the look. As with any style, it is best achieved over time, mixing new loves with cherished family favorites. The photos I'm sharing today are from my friend's home. I was so impressed with how effortlessly she paired new and old, I just had to share...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Today's first fabulous feature is class vintage Fire King, in a pattern I love, Primrose. I own several pieces of the charming floral pattern, but I've never found the luncheon plates before. They are missing the cups, but were priced accordingly, plus these could also serve as small snack trays.
Happy Wednesday, Friends! Can you believe Ginger Grand celebrated his 6th birthday last week? The fun birthday badge I sent him was a big hit and only took 15 minutes to make. A gift card can be attached, plus most of the craft supplies are from the dollar store!
Hi there, Friends! It's no secret that I adore decorating my home with vintage treasures. Today I've combined my love of vintage with my fondness for crafting with clearance and a simple DIY technique to recreate this lovely caddy.
TGITF Friends! Time for the fabulous finds of the week, and it's a week of keepers--starting with the rest of the treasures from the 2/.25 warehouse sale. I adore displaying flowers in pretty vintage containers like this charming candy bowl. Plus...
Happy Wednesday, Friends! It's funny, I really hadn't planned on sharing so many Valentine projects. It seems I have a habit of tucking away pretty craft supplies for the holiday and this is the year to use them!
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Time for the fab features of the week. I am smitten with this trio of gorgeous gold rimmed stemware. They are only three inches tall and I'm more likely to use them for dessert than cocktails, but it's nice to have such a pretty option. Would you believe I paid less than .50 for all 3? It was 2 for .25 day at the Find's warehouse sale so...
Happy Wednesday, Friends! Today's 15 minute fix is the simple heart wreath I promised to share. In fact, it's so quick and easy, I made two--this romantic floral version...
Believer, herb gardener, dishaholic, lover of dark chocolate, Southern girl, and thrift store junkie. I’m passionate about finding beauty in imperfection. Join me as I hunt vintage treasures and transform thrift store finds. Check out my home and garden projects to see how easy it is to create a beautiful home without spending a lot of money!
I adore decorating and gardening but as a single parent have always needed to do both on a budget. Thrifting-- my all inclusive verb for shopping resale shops, thrift stores, estate and yard sales is not just my hobby but rather a lifestyle. It supports my habit of collecting Vintage dishes and Pyrex and over the years has proven invaluable for decorating and re-decorating. I am passionate about transforming and repurposing cast away furniture and love furnishing my home with pieces that have their own history. It has saved me more pennies than I can count and is the perfect solution to almost any dilemma. Your child comes home from school and informs you that he must dress like his favorite super hero TOMORROW? Your daughter can only wear modest knee length skirts to respect the local culture on her upcoming mission trip? Volunteer to host the next ladies event but then realize you don't own enough matching glasses? The answer to these questions and so many more: THRIFTING! Last, but certainly not least--thrifting is all about re-cycling, re-imagining and re-creating; the best way to shop green!
