Sunburst

This has got to be one of my favorite thrifty finds. An amazing working sunburst clock! Absolutely and simply modern. Perfect for my living room, no? Too bad I had just talked to my sister about how perfect a sunburst would look in her place. Definitely can’t keep it now. At least I know where [...]

Children’s How-To Books

I’m addicted to thrifting books for Jackson. I rarely walk out of a thrift store without one or two children’s books in hand. It’s an obsession but as far as addictions go, it could be worse. Here are just a few of some of my favorite craft books I’ve picked up. I use to love [...]

Score

Look at these amazing vintage velvet buttons I found the other day! I can’t wait to use them on purses made from re-purposed fabrics. Yay for thrifty adventures!

Celebration Glasses

I’ve taken to walking around thrift stores lately. Ok, ok, those of you who are my regular readers (my sisters and mom) know this is nothing new but now it’s really a necessity. Seriously. As with most babies (I think?), Jackson does so much better when we spend a couple hours out and about. Has [...]

Dainty

I went looking for some thrifted handkerchiefs to make little wash bags with for Jackson’s herbal bath and these are what I came home with! I’m sure. There’s no way I’m going to wash anything with these adorable handkerchiefs, much less a poopy bum (as cute as it may be.) My mother came over and [...]

Fondue Anyone?

Finally a post on some fun thriftiness!!! I found this cute fondue pot at my favorite thrift store a month or so ago and while I didn’t need another fondue set, I’m always in the market for nice mid-century modern pieces! It just so happens that I had been looking for something to raise my [...]

Kitchen Geese

Had to drop off some papers with our accountant yesterday (no lectures on procrastination please!) and it just so happens that his new office is somewhat close to my favorite thrift store. Kind of a “bleh” day as far as thrifting went but I did pick up some extremely cute measuring cups. Who couldn’t love [...]

Plates

Ok, so I’m a big copycat…I admit it… I saw a really creative use of a plate collection on flickr (link) and immediately wanted it for my very own. Now I could find where she lives and steal the plates directly from her wall but that would take waaaay too much time (and the whole [...]

New Lamp

What do you think of our new lamp?! We got it at a thrift/vintage store down the road. We were buying a bench (I’ll show pics once it’s fixed up a bit!) and they let us throw the lamp in for 10 bucks. Yay. Went to every store in the area looking for a lamp [...]

Super Tuesday

If cuteness could kill you, I’d be long dead! Saw this tea set at a little antique mall down the road and decided that I didn’t really need it. :( Guess Jim figured out how much I loved it (wasn’t too hard since I practically fainted when I saw the adorable little elephant driving!) and [...]
