Hi everyone! I haven’t shared any of my thriftstore finds in a while so I thought I’d show you a few. I think I mentioned in my “Envelope System” post that I was giving myself a set budget for thrifting. I’ve found myself re-evaluating my purchases and putting things back before I check out. That's a good thing! Isn’t this a cute checkered serving fork. Whenever I see a checkered pattern in my ... Read More about SomeThrifty Finds

Cleaning The Mirrors In Your Home
Hi everyone! I don't do spring cleaning. I do Fall/Winter cleaning instead. I'm too busy in the "spring" with my garden to do any deep cleaning at that time . So what I do is spread it out over the fall, skipping Thanksgiving through Christmas and picking it back up in the middle of January. I've given up on the notion that my entire house will be clean at the same time! That's never going to ... Read More about Cleaning The Mirrors In Your Home
It’s A Rooster Party!
Barb at Bella Vista is hosting a show your rooster party so be sure to go to her blog to find the other participants (she has them listed on her sidebar). When I told her I would join in I also told her that I really don't have a lot of rooster things. Well I have more than I thought! I just don't have them out all at the same time. This little rug is from Wal-Mart. I'd been looking for one ... Read More about It’s A Rooster Party!
Sweet & Cheerful!
Isn't this the sweetest little tablecloth! I couldn't pass it up when I saw it at the thriftstore (I went back to see if they still had the other two white slipcovers). Can you believe I found one...just one! Where is the other one? It could be anywhere in that store! So now I have three. Sigh....Finding this cute homemade tablecloth eased my pain somewhat! Don't you love the sweet lace ... Read More about Sweet & Cheerful!
Making Lunch Special
I used to love watching Kitty Bartholomew's show on HGTV (ah the good old days before all the real estate shows). She used to always end by say "It's not what you don't have. It's what you do with what you do have!" That's something I firmly believe in! If you're like my family and trying to cut back on eating out, one thing that I've found to make eating at home more of an "event" is to try to ... Read More about Making Lunch Special
Having An Emergency Fund
I happened to catch Oprah last week when she had Suze Orman on (Recession Rescue with Suze Orman) and it was an interesting show! Love or hate her Suze has some good advice! I usually can't stand to watch her but the topic interested me. She now says that she recommends that if you have credit card debt that you only pay the minimum due! Yep, that's right! Instead of paying more toward your debt ... Read More about Having An Emergency Fund
