Friday's Find: Craft Supplies


TGITF Friends! Now that it's Spring, local yard sales have started popping up. Last weekend I hit a neighborhood sale--several blocks with multiple sales on each.  Fun, fun, fun! I make it a habit to keep an eye out for bargain craft supplies. Fabric, ribbon and some of my best paint finds have been from thrifting.

The Third Day of Christmas: DIY Ornament Chandelier


Fa, la, la, la, la Friends! It's our Third Day and I'm glad you are here! Looking for a simple, thrifty way to add instant cheer to your Christmas decor?  All you need is ribbon, ornaments and about thirty minutes to transform your chandelier from ordinary to merry and bright! I chose Vintage turquoise and mercury glass ornaments with sparkly silver ribbon but yours should reflect your own personal style. Rustic, traditional or shabby chic--go for it!

DIY Burlap & Chalk Cloth Banner

Greetings Friends! Designers and event planners everywhere have jumped on the bunting banner wagon! Weddings, baby showers, graduations and more are hanging celebratory greetings in honor of each special occasion. I have seen many varieties from Vintage hankies and lace to sheet music, all lovely to behold! I decided to combine two of my favorites: chalk cloth and burlap. Burlap adds warmth to the Autumn months and versatile chalk cloth allows you to change the greeting seasonally. These are easy to make and best of all, they can be used again and again!
