I made these for my family and they were FABULOUS! If I can get my picky picky eater to eat these, then you know they are good!!

Happy Presidents Day

Happy Valentine's Day

How cute is this?? Any little girl would love to play house in there. I found this on Etsy.

Thrifty Thursday

Patterson book    $.50
Cloche                 $5.99

That is the most I have ever paid for a cheese dome. However, they are becoming REALLY hard to find. I think the blog world of cloches is getting around my neighborhood!!

LOVE

I had seen this little LOVE  sign on another craft blog and thought it was too cute. It was so easy too. 

 I bought the frame on clearance at Target, $2. The buttons are from Michaels, $2. I used black felt I already had and glued it directly to the glass. I used hot glue to glue the buttons on. Easy peasy project. I'm so happy to finally find something to do with my tray. I bought it 6 months ago from Joann's looking like this:

I sprayed painted it Heirloom white. I think I paid $6 for the tray. I love my Valentine table runner too. Another great find at Pottery Barn Kids AFTER Valentine's Day a few years ago.

A little Valentine decor

So since I have been unsuccessful in finding my accent table, this will have to do.

 This is a SMALL nook in my china hutch. It sure doesnt hold a lot to display. I bought the sign ($10) and plate ($6) at my little Beehive store. The heart dish came from Goodwill for a $1. Lastly the plate holder came from Michaels, $6 after using my 40% off coupon, of course. It was originally black but I think it looks better painted in Heirloom white.

Gotta love sales!

I love Michaels Crafts, dont all crafter's? Recently they had a sale on their Ashland line. I love this line. Its perfect for the coming season of Spring! 

Everything was 40% off. 
Birdcage     $5.99
Bird             $2.39
Nest             $2.99
Vase            $6.59
Flowers       $5.99

These goodies will look great on my accent table this Spring. Lets just hope I can finally find the table I want by then!

Finds

How cute is this?? Its a Halloween candle! Although I never plan on lighting it! I found it on Pottery Barn for only $3.39 and FREE shipping! What a deal. I think this little goody will look great with my other Halloween goodies!! What?? Halloween is only 8 months away! One must plan ahead and get all the good deals! 

Thrifty Thursday

Here are my finds for the week:

Nicholas Sparks book $.50
Ceramic pumpkin $2.00
New straw wreath $1.00
New fake snow $.50


I cannot wait to use the fake snow this winter. I looked everywhere for it last year with no success. Apparently it was meant to be since I'm sure I would have paid a lot more then $.50! I hope to cover the wreath with conversation hearts. The pumpkin was a little more then I wanted to pay, but it was too cute to pass up.

My fav

One of my favorite shops is At the Beehive. Its a small local shop filled with antiques and crafts. I hit it up every week and never come home empty handed!!! They have really cute and unique gifts. 
Here are my latest finds:

 The eggs were $.50 each and I think they will look great in my new eBay jar. The sign was $9.95 and I love it. I cannot wait for Spring to arrive.

I just cannot be stopped!!

Recently I was introduced to Willow House. I love their goodies. However, they can be overpriced in my eyes at time. Time to search eBay. I found the same glass jar from Willow House on eBay. It was cheaper and I  had eBay bucks so it was too good to pass up. I think a few Easter eggs and moss would be really cute inside.
