That wooden thing I got for Sadie's kitchen...I'm thinking I may try and make it her spice rack? Anyways...for $8, not too bad.In other news, our family has all been dealing with a cold this … [Read more...]

Today was a 50% off sale day at our Salvation Army store. I kind of love these days. :D I didn't find ANY books or linens, but scored on some bloomers for the baby (and one pair Sadie can wear). I was excited to find these (40 cents each!), because I'm not a fan of making them, and since I make a lot of Sadie's (and now baby's) dresses, sometimes I … [Read more...]

(or Duh-Dah! as Sadie says), I had a fun little decoration for the playroom!I … [Read more...]

It's been awhile since my last thrift store trip! I really like hitting up our Salvation Army 50% off sale every month, but I missed last month. Thrift stores are already "cheap" (some more than others), but who can say no to half off? not me. I always end up in the same sections, in the same order. First I check out their fabric/linen section, … [Read more...]

I want to get her a kitchen play set for Christmas, so I'm working on felt/fabric food for her to play with. So far, I have these strawberries and two sugar cookies. This morning, Janae and I went to the … [Read more...]

During a quick trip to Goodwill with my sisters yesterday, I found, among an awesome set of framed "season" prints, this cute Target reject shirt for $4. I loved the print, but the shirt wouldn't have really worked for me. I decided to get it and make a skirt or something for Sadie out of it. Then after studying it for a bit, I thought, hey maybe I … [Read more...]
