This aint no PB Knockoff!!



You can only imagine my excitement when I scored this bad boy at one of my many FAVORITE Peddlers Malls for $10! I cannot even pretend to be able to afford to shop at Pottery Barn. Their merchandise is beautiful but I just don't have that kind of cash flow.



Still not sure what to do with him.... The drawers are kind of small - this will be perfect for the overflow of vintage buttons and notions that make their way out of my closet on a daily basis. We shall see.

I cheated...

Forgive me fellow bloggers for I have sinned.... It has been about four days since my last confession....

I said that I would not spend a DIME at Thrift Stores in the whole month of February and I lied... Oh boy did I lie - I spent $2.62 on three magazines and a book of quotations...

What shall my penance be?

Hello Blue....


This tray was .75 cents.... yes that's right I felt like I was stealing. It is going to fit right into my blue bedroom that I haven't painted but have all the supplies to get started.

Don't judge me. I'll get it done. Before the end of February. This is precisely why I did not set "resolutions" for the new year - my follow through isn't what it should be.

Tell me something....Should I paint the walls or the furniture first???

Thrifty Find...


Last Wednesday, I went thrifting... My original goal was to acquire some more vintage buttons for my collection... Unfortunately - I came home empty handed in the button department. I did however, find this awesome vintage fabric that is going to make some AWESOME curtains and pillows for my living room this spring.

This $7.00 find threw me straight into a serious case of CABIN FEVER!!! The colors are very similar to what I'm working with now. They will incorporate nicely in the living area with the greens/teal combo.


I just love the border! Its perfect!
