Thrifty Friday Finds!

Today was a thrifty kind of day. I hit 3 shops in 2 hours and came out singing! Click here to go to my flickr pictures and read a full description!

I did go over my budget...but I also bought thrifty toys and McDonalds for the kids...

Here's a few photos of some fun things I gathered today.

Pretty Vintage Sewing notions! Too Cute!

Fun! Fun! Fun!

A Mug for Grandma...you can't have it mom...I'll pour you a cup of coffee next time you're here...

Vintage Glass Jars...I LOVE THESE! They will go straight into my loft!

These are soooo pretty, a set of four placemats and napikans.

I sooo need this lamp for the loft! Now I just need a shade! ha ha

Vintage patterns, Retro Clock, Flowery Basket, *PINK* hanger...nice.

This old jewelry box will hold pink sequins perfectly!

She is so pretty...I wonder what she is thinking?

my pink package!

YEAH! I ordered this girly package of fun goodies from etsy.com...it arrived today! I wanted to share the goodness with you all!

Enjoy! (click to enlarge)

craft-o-licious

Last night I tried my hand at some card making...I found it to be quite relaxing and therapeutic...so yeah for me. The picture above is my craft table this morning! HA! good times, good times.

I also let the kids just go for it. They each made a box, covered in fun clippings from magazines...all the while, Daddy made dinner. Oh yes, it's true...don't hate me.

I've included some photos of my creations and the messy floor after the kiddos were done.

Let me know what you think! I need advice! (CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE) :0)

getting started

I decided to finally jump right in. I have always wanted to make some extra dough by doing what I love...don't we all??

I love thrift shops, junk stores, antiques, yard sales, etc...you get the idea.

How can one make money by spending money?? That is the question of the week!

Lately, I have been going over and over in my mind about how I can somehow open a shop or booth in an antique mall on a very limited budget...more like $100. ;0)

I have been buying for years, but it's the selling that I now must do!

It's great to find like minded people out there who feel the same way. My friend advised me to look beyond my surroundings and find others like me to inspire my creative side and push me into the things I'm a teensy weensy bit afraid to do!

Here I am.

I'm ready, let's go!

These are some things from my loft...my creative space. (click on photo to enlarge)

   

Hmmm, what to say?

Well, I'm new.

Enough of that, let's dive right in, shall we?

I am a creative gal with an eye for all things pretty and (mostly) PINK! I hope to someday open a small business...sharing my love for shabby, vintage and adorable things! That is, after I finish the laundry and dishes.

As for now, I am going to post some of my ideas, some crafts, some thrifty finds and some of my thoughts...so come sit a spell and enjoy. :0)

So, Welcome, I'm so glad you came! Please come again!
