Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! I hope you've had a wonderful week! Are you ready for this week's fabulous finds? It's a week of bargains and keepers...

Pantry Panache... for Pennies!

Greetings Friends! Hope you are having a lovely weekend!  Have you ever grown accustomed to an area you use daily, and then suddenly realize it has become a hot mess? Unfortunately, that pretty much summed up the state of my pantry before I gave it a touch of panache...

$10 Upcycle: Utility Shelf to Potting Stand!

Happy Wednesday Friends! You know the expression Invention is born out of necessity? Well since the potting stand outside my back door literally started to sink, I figured replacing it was necessary! I knew it was old but even though I walked past it daily, had not realized the wood was rotting--until it was caving in! Enter today's project...

Absolutely No Sewing: Oil Cloth Garden Banner


Happy Wednesday! Like many of you, we have had some dreary weather lately.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who is ready for Spring!  I can't wait to get started in the garden but I'm holding out for some frost free nights before I replant my containers and launch full into my annual Spring fever.  Hey, it's Texas and Spring usually comes early here! Looking for other ways to brighten my backdoor view, I decided to make an oil cloth banner--one even my non-sewing friends will appreciate! If you haven't tried oil cloth, you are missing out!  It is colorful and durable enough to withstand our harsh summers.  I cover all of my outdoor tables with it. It can be purchased online and in some craft stores. At my local craft store I pay $5.99 a yard but I have seen it as high as $10 a yard, so you will want to shop around for the best price.  The store I mentioned mails out a 30% off one item coupon so I use it to buy the yardage I need for the season.

Pretty Please with a Cherry on Top!


Greetings Friends! When I  found this Vintage Cosco stool at a thrift store parking lot sale for $3, I was thrilled!  It definitely needed recovering but since I have recovered more than a few seat covers, I thought I would be up for the task.
