Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Recently I went to a few yard sales that were only a few blocks from my house--don't you love it when that happens? I scored several bargains that were right up my alley including these gorgeous floral glasses
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! At oh-dark-thirty this morning I headed out with my friend Carly for a day trip of junkin'. Hopefully, I'll have some exciting treasures from our adventure to share next week! Now for this week's fabulous finds...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! You know that feeling you get when you head to your favorite thrift store and you spy something tucked away that seems to be waiting just for you? Of course you do! Well, then you know how I felt when I scored this large vintage chalkboard for $1...
Hi there, Friends! The sweet signs of spring are all around us and since everyone seems to enjoy freshening up their homes for the season, today I'm sharing my thrifty spring decor. While it's no secret how often I shop thrift stores, you may not know that when it comes to home decor, I never pay full price! Here's how...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! I went to several yard sales last weekend and couldn't be happier with my finds. It was a wet, drizzly morning but I often find treasures on the days others would rather stay indoors. Take this vintage bread box...
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! If you follow me on Instagram, then you know I spent part of the rainy weekend splashing through the puddles to a few sales. First, I went to the sale of several sisters who evidently were quilters. Silly me, wondered if anyone else would be out in the rain or if the sale may have even been cancelled altogether. Ha! There was barely standing room in the packed garage. They were selling tons of fat quarters and crafting supplies and everything was $1. I'd picked out several things and was actually standing in line when I saw bags of Indian corn in this old crock. The corn was priced but the crock didn't appear to be for sale, but of course, I had to ask. Good thing I did-- I got the crock and all of the corn inside for $3! Happy dance!
Happy Wednesday Friends! I want to thank you for your sweet comments and thoughts regarding my oldest daughter's visit. We had the best time! Here's my darling girl modeling at our favorite thrift store...
Happy Wednesday Friends! How do you like my teacup tower? By combining thrifted finds, I made it for less than $5--$4.25 to be exact! Gather your thrifted goodies, craft glue and a little imagination...
Happy Fourth of July and Thank God it's thrifty Friday, y'all! Hope you are busy making memories with those you love. Through the years, I have been blessed with several thrifting buddies including my now grown kids who inherited my thrifting gene and my Mom who patiently humors me. Even though one of my closest friends moved several hours away, anytime we can get together thrift stores and estate sales are always on the agenda! Last weekend, I took my sweet friend Carly when she had a rare Saturday off from her retail job. We have recently bonded during our Bible study and she shares my desire to have pretty little things without spending a lot of money! We hit the yard sales first and struck Vintage treasure after just a few sales. Here's Carly's favorite find--isn't it lovely? She also picked up some summer reading books for her son for .50!

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!
