FLEA MARKET FIND--SCORE!

How fun is this!  Doll clothes rack with little hangers.  $1 at the flea market--SCORE!!!!  (sorry, not for sale, but the doilies, stained glass window, and doilies are!)

Shhhhhhh! My secret sources......



I loooooove decorating for Halloween!  I found these black feathered crows at The Dollar Tree!   (and the gauze, pumpkins, and Spanish moss!)  Very expensive stick from my yard.  Felt basket from Target.  And extra bonus?  You don't have to worry about cleaning up stringy stuff from the glue gun!  Just looks like webs!

One-of-a-Kind Clothing

One-of-a-kind clothing is quick and easy!  We sell a lot of it in the shop!  Great way to spare a stained shirt that's headed for the rag bag!  Or to give new life to a shirt that's been in the drawer too long!  From experience  if you are making them to sell, hit the sale racks, lawn sales, or Sally's for name brands--they seem to sell best.

The Cloth Basket!

Super cute twist on the cloth basket.  How cute this would look in a bathroom with soaps or hair accessories, in the t.v. room for remotes, for a plant, or empty on a table or shelf!

Love these!  Remind me of PBKids!  Lots of ideas for these....initials or words on a wall, use in place of a tag on a wrapped gift, and so on!  Hand-made by local artist and available in the shop!
How fun is this?  Hand-painted by Carol.  $45  Looks wonderful outside, but I would totally use inside, myself!  Say, as a breadbox.  Or, if I must stay inside the box, so to speak, for storing mail in the den.  :)
One would be surprised where kindness is found. It can be found beneath long knappy hair, or tucked inside a shirt with no sleeves. It can be found in the rain late at night, or in a playful word or mock swing to the chin. Don't judge what you see and be sure to defend what you know. A lot can be lost in ignorance and feebleness of character
