Progress:

My progress so far on one of the many projects on my TO DO list for this week. You can find the recipe here: ReadyMade. I love these huge string ball lights found here: Random Light. However, who’s got $600-$1500 in these crazy times to buy a light… or anytime for that matter. When I saw this project in my 99 cent thrift store copy of last month’s ReadyMade, I knew it had been waiting just for me!! Hope to share the final product with you before week’s end!

What are you doing this week?

Philosophy of Thrift

So, I’ve been majorly lusting after this Philosophy Jump Starters Kit for a while. I’m 26 now, which I know is still young, however I am starting to see that it’s time to put more effort into my skin care in a preventative sense. The wrinkles are starting to appear, and if I can postpone it a while that would be really nice. But at the same time, if I try it, I might love it so much that I’ll want to keep using it. What’s the problem with that? It’s a bit out of our budget. Hm, maybe I’ll stick to the thrifting for now, what with the state of the economy and all. Speaking of thrifting, check out these goodies I picked up last week.

I’ve been wanting a fondue pot for a while, and Dustin bought me a new one for Christmas. It’s nice, it’s new, it was very thoughtful of him. However, this one I found for a whopping $2 has a lot more character than the brand new one from Christmas. I don’t normally go for brown, but I couldn’t resist this little guy. Dustin is insisting I keep both so we can use one for chocolate and one for cheese at the same time. We’ll see, I could get a lot of little gadgets for $20 at Bed Bath & Beyond if I return it.

And, oh, how great is this fabric?! I adore it. Not sure what I’ll make from it. Looks like a child’s duvet cover, so there is a decent amount of fabric there to use. It was about $3, maybe $4. How sweet are those purple trees? VERY!

Hope the weekend was as lovely for you as it was for me. The 60some degree weather was certainly a nice change!

I didn’t realize until today that I have virtually no purple in my life! This is all I could find. I guess I’m more of a blue or green girl. Enjoy! See more at Curious Bird.
