It’s been about a year since I converted my office closet into a studio space. In the last year, bins, boxes,and piles of disorganization have taken over. This is a space that needs to serve as a “work from home” office and craft studio. I am struggling to find an organized space that can contain [...]

I love decoration thrifting around the holidays. I really find it to be one of the most satisfying thrifts of all. I love the challenge of being able to see beyond what is available to know what will work in my space. For instance, this original Santa print I found. It looks like it came [...]

Joining Ginny over at Small Things… Book: I picked up this Agatha Christie book “There is a Tide” at the thrift store last month. It was published in 1948. It was in fantastic shape. Unfortunately, I didn’t think anything of bringing it on vacation to a very humid place. I think it was thrown in [...]

This inspired me to show one of the painting projects we had earlier in the year. I thought it would be the perfect post for those who are trying to look for [...]

A great day at the thrift store – I was due. I originally went to get a head start on shorts for Griffin. I did well- I got 5 pairs for .50 cents each. All Gap and Children’s Place brands, you can’t beat it! While there, I had to look for some things for me [...]

I have had my eyes out for one of these for a long time. I finally found one at my local thrift store and snagged it. It is the perfect way to display cakes, cookies and any other goodies Griffin and I bake. Of course the best part about this thrift, it was $3.00! Happy [...]

In the true spirit of “Reduce, Reuse & Recycle”, I have been frequenting the local thrift stores. Since having a kid, it just doesn’t make sense to use something for a few months and throw it out to spend forever in a landfill. I have found that many of my friends are doing the same. A [...]
