The pickings have been slim at the thrift stores lately, but I did find a few things recently.

If you love farmhouse style you’re going to love these 20+ Farmhouse Style Thrift Store Makeovers that save a bundle yet look like a million bucks! Last fall I created an easy Enamelware Coffee Pot Fall Farmhouse Centerpiece from a thrift store find that I’ve had for several years. It only took about 15 minutes, which proves that farmhouse style decor needn’t be expensive or difficult to create. And last summer I made this Repurposed Tea Tins Office Organizer under an hour. Now take a {Read More}

I got up bright and early last Saturday to hit the flea market with my husband, only to find my husband was already awake, but feeling lousy. We waited for awhile, but he still felt awful and went back to bed, but bless my oldest son’s heart – he went with me.
