Feeling Crafty and Thrifty

I really hate cold weather. It's nice for about a month but after that, I'm fed up. I was feeling a little crafty today so I went down to my local Good Will Store for some thrifting. I was a little disappointed, all the good stuff was gone by the time I went. I find NC has a lot more crafters than in other places I've lived. During the warmer months there are at least 20 to 30 yards sales each Saturday in our town. I usually wake up early with my yard sale buddy, Brody and we walk around my neighborhood looking for stuff. Unfortunately, if they don't have toys my son is ready to leave he says, "come on mama, they don't have anything good at this one." I can't wait for this year, I always try to look for inexpensive things to decorate my house with.

Here are some of the things I've found in the past

I found this picture frame for 50 cents, it has nice lines but I don't care for the color. And I'm sure I can find something to do with that little tray and cover.


My cheap frame looks pretty good after I spray painted it black. The black is more my taste.


I found this little pitcher years ago at a yard sale with my mom. I've always tried to keep it on display.



The last few months I've been growing this plant, my neighbor gave me.
