Thrifting on a Tuesday

By -
I woke up this day with a massive agenda(s)... Mow the Lawn, Weed, Make front and backyard look pretty... all before the heat kicked my butt. I mowed both front and back, weeded until my fingers bled (really they did, dang thistles and thorns!), and almost passed out from heat stoke. No, not really, I'm being dramatic.
I then had to go to the city offices to get a burning permit, I'm trying to be good citizen sabrina.

Then i went to the thrift store, my favorite one, Arc Value Village. I like it because the money you spend helps make sure my brother has fun in life. (well not just my brother, but people like my brother)
I hit mother load jackpot! All this fun stuff for under $15!

Ralph Lauren Sheet Set to make cushion covers

Shabby Chic Curtain Holdbacks

Shabby Chic Candle Holder

Pottery Barn Paper Lanterns set of 10

and I'm adding these, because i got them for so cheap at TJ Maxx,

Shabby Chic Paper Plates!


It was a productive day, I'm happy.


And Happy birthday Cousin Erin! we miss you like crazy!!!!

Love it! I'm sure this will be of no surprise to you, but I used incredibly similar, if not exact, ralph lauren sheets to make curtains for my camper, I also have simply shabby tie-backs, AND I also cannot resist TJ maxx's shabby chic paper goods. Unfortunately, I cannot pull off an adorable hair scarf like you.

We so have to go thrifting together sometime!! But, we should leave Jakob at home. . . he's not so good in the stores sometimes! I can always find something. . . it's like I can't leave without anything--ever!!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
