Happy Monday, Friends! Have you ever noticed that there seems to be a larger selection of cute dish towels than there are cloth napkins? I'm sure that's one of the reasons it has become popular to use pretty towels as napkins. That works for most dinner place settings but is too large for serving tea or dessert. When I came across a pretty cotton herb towel in Target's dollar bins, I was inspired to use one towel to create two napkins. If you want to make your own, follow these three easy steps...

Happy Monday, Friends! When I shared the photo of my latest project with Dear Firstborn, her response was, "It's sooo crunchy granola, but I love you for it!" Can you relate? To be honest, once upon a time seeing a homemade deodorant recipe might have caused me to roll my eyes, but after an unsuccessful quest to find an aluminium-free product, I resorted to my usual do-it-yourself tactic. This fragrant and thrifty recipe can be whipped up in 15 minutes or less...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Today I'm joining the Late Summer Tablescape blog hop hosted by Chloe at Celebrate & Decorate. I'm wrapping up the summer season with a few of my favorite things: a bee-utiful table and iced coffee in the garden...
Happy Monday, Friends! As much as I paint, I constantly have little bits of leftovers that aren't enough for a big project, so I try to put them to use. Today I'm sharing a quick project using leftover paint from my recent bistro chair upcycle...

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!
