Well, this will be a mishmash of topics today. You know how I am with blogger and pictures, but I will do my best to get the relevant picture with the words. I am not be successful. You'll figure it out, I'm sure. I'll start out with my new hobby of finding cheap chic! The outfits I put together in these pictures were $3.00 for the pink and green skirt and shirts and $5.00 for the other outfit. That's total, people!! I love the Goodwill. Besides getting great clothes sometimes (not always, but the hunt is fun), it's a really great organization.
These are name brand, too - Ann Taylor skirts, Gap shirts and the sweater is J.Jill. Love the bargains!!
Next, we have a frugal finish. I bought two frames for $1.67 each at the Salvation Army (Sal's Boutique). I took out the picture and framed one of my small samplers. It's a freebie from Barrick Designs. Love it!! The olive green in the frame is a match to my laundry room color. I don't know what I'm putting in the other frame, probably another small sampler, since I love them. Above is the before and after.
Here are some finishes I've done - one last night and one I don't remember when but I found it in a drawer. Summer Day is a freebie from Sampler Girl and I finished it last night for my patriotic tree. Alot of the stash I' am getting is for this tree. I'm so excited! And here's the other -
Probably done in the 80's. Well, that' s all for now. Thanks for all the comments that you all send me. It's great to hear from anyone!! LOL!
Awesome!

I love those frames! I saw a couple with that green color, but bigger and wanted to change paint colors just to have something they'd go with!
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS find new or like new Ann Taylor Loft skirts, etc. while thrifting!
