I'm an avid thrift store shopper.
I use to just look for fun vintage items or furniture that needed a face lift.
But lately, I've scored some pretty great deals for my family.
In fact last Sunday, the girls each had something on from the thrift store.
Love it!
A few weeks ago I came across this nifty purse that still had the Target tags on it.
Five buckaroos!
I bought it from this gal at a craft show .
But sometimes I need a big momma bag
to hold ANYTHING I might need.
You know, wipes gummies, sippy cup, kleenex,
Polly Pockets, granola bars, coloring books,
Swiss army knife, the kitchen sink . . .
Polly Pockets, granola bars, coloring books,
Swiss army knife, the kitchen sink . . .
For days we're going to be in town ALL DAY.
I thought this big boy would be perfect.
But he looked a little too . . . hmmmm . . . boring.
So I pulled out my stash of vintage lace
and blooms of course!
I decided to just clip the bloom on so I can switch out the colors.
I really do love having the home made touch.
So I have to show you my adorable check book cover
My friend Mica and I did a swap.
I sent her a bloom and she sent me the check book cover.
Isn't it cute??
You can check out her Etsy shop here.
She is an amazing artist and has the CUTEST vintage goodies all over her house!
I love having and wearing home made goodies.
They're unique and ya feel good buying them.
Hope you get a chance to be creative today!
