Simple Pleasures

I thought I would share some items I have aquired over time

that really brighten my day every time I use them.

This coffee cup I got at a yard sale for a quarter really makes me so happy.

It has a milk glass quality about it and I love the vintage design on the front.

I'm so proud to have extended it's life.

My next item is this container.

I use it for my cotton balls to take off my makeup.

The outside has a pearl sheen to it and the silver really sparkles and shines.

Again, thrift store, quarter.

I feel like a queen using it daily. One of the best quarters ever spent.

Went all out at the thrift store for this gem.

Spent a whole dollar. But there is something so fun about

using a vintage item like this for something as

mundane as gloves and hats.

I know I got a steal only paying a dollar for this,

because I see replicas selling for $20 or more.

Be aware of what is around you. If you need storage,

keep your eye open for storage solutions that will really bring you joy.

You're going to have to live with it,  let it serve you in multiple ways. 

 I'm really learning to surround myself with things I realllllly love.

And if you are creative, you really can do it on a budget.

Summer Mantel

This is it. The shutters I found at the thrift store for ($2).

Used my Dollar Tree Hurricanes.

Bag of Sea Glass ($2)

This is Cardboard ($1)

wrapped in strips of an old white t-shirt.

Everything else I had on hand so my spending for the summer mantel was

a grand ($5)

Par-Tay! On the Cheap!

You're not going to believe what I was able to accomplish with about $22.
But I'll show you anyway.

Beauty Fleeting

From Beauty to Beast in 48 hours. We're guessing this is an allergic reaction.
I'm on meds and hoping for relief.
The Purple Tongue is a Medicine to treat the inside of my mouth.
Found the irony too funny not to share tho.

Make the Time

I'm sure I could have found something to have been stressed about while waiting for the doctor. But I chose to charish this time with my kids. Take a few silly pictures and make them remember I do have time for them. Life is not always so serious. And I DO have time for fun. They didn't want to be sitting there as much as I didn't want to be there either, but hey like everything else in life, "you have to make the best of it". And now I will always have this reminder.
Hold onto those you love, don't let anger or worry rob you of special moments like these.

Ugly Art Recycled

Box of Shell     1$
Paint on Hand

I  was so excited to find the shells. Been wanting to do this project for some time.
Shells finally made it into my path.
I have enough to do 5 more frame and I just might.
They are so pretty but I really don't know where they are going to call home.
