Liz and I have been sewing our little hearts out this week for Project Run & Play....you'll see tomorrow :)But, I did finish one project for my house last week. A new sewing chair. The chair was free from my parents' garage and for $7 in spray paint and $7 in fabric I have a new sewing chair.I need to go see what else is in their garage.....(although I think most of my house is painted and from their garage....that's the beauty of their garage. It's like a neverending wealth of stuff.)Any fun ... View the Post

Thrifted Thursday– A Pink Dress and some thoughts…..
I found this vintage pinkalicious dress at a thrift store when I was in IL this summer. It is seriously the sweetest dress I have ever come across. I snatched it up even before looking at the size...and lo and behold it fits....and it is gorgeous. (And $4.99----SCORE!!!!!)One of the things I noticed right away when I picked it up was that it was handmade and it made me love the dress even more. I thought about someone sewing a special pink dress for a special little girl...and thought what ... View the Post

Now it sits on one of Gracie's girly girl dressers and houses her jewlery. (The kind she can't play with for dress-ups.) Perfect. I love finds like this. ... View the Post
Thrifted Thursday– Happy as a Lark….
I think that these beauties may be one of my most favorite thrift store finds--EVER. (Ok, I think I may have said that before, but it wasn't true...these really are my favorites.)Here's the background on them. Liz and I were at our favorite Savers. And Liz found what we thought were these amazing patterns for these 1960's embroidery kits.....and we were excited. And then we turned them over. And realized....that THEY. WERE. DONE.The stitching is impeccable and all four are even basted and ... View the Post
Thrifted {Tuesday}
We have a guest post on Thursday....that is really exciting, so stay-tuned. But I wanted to show you my thrifting stuff today because I found some A.MAZ.ING stuff. So let's just pretend it's Thursday today, k? I found all this fabulousness at an estate sale. I was (not.at.all. joking) like a kid in a candy store...and my mom just sat and held Isaac for a super long time while I just kept making piles at the cash lady's feet--I think my poor mom was trying to pretend she had no idea who that ...
