Retro Inspired Aprons!!

So funny that this great shop has an apron giveaway. I am currently obsessed with retro styled aprons. I have been wearing them while serving with our catering company. BubbaQ The boys can wear their chef coats, I stick with the fun aprons (much cooler in the summer anyhow!).

Cute Aprons!

Here is the link for the giveaway. Be warned that you will fall in love with their stuff!

Lampapalooza Party with The Nester!!

We are sharing our fave lamps and lighting fixtures with The Nester's Lampapalooza Party at the Nesting Place!!

I don't think I own a lamp that was purchased new! Here are three of my favorites...

This vintage 50s lamp was purchased at an antique mall for around $35 (one of my big splurges...I am pretty frugal most of the time). I adore the jadeite green color with metallic gold splashes. This is our most used lamp in our loft area. Don't you just love these shades!!





This is an estate sale find for under $10. Double shade love!!





This one isn't vintage, but it is so stinkin' cute I had to have it. Yup, it's a lamp and it works (feather trim...yum!) Under $5 at a garage sale!



Can't wait to see all your lamps!!

I'm in an Etsy Treasury!

Things That Make Me Happy Treasury

Earth Day Goodness!

In honor of Earth Day on Wednesday,April 22nd I are spotlighting some items from my etsy shop that are so very Earth Friendly!!



I have a variety of Vintage Paper Packs to fulfill your crafting desires!! Instead of throwing away damaged books destined for the landfill, these bits of paper are useful for a multitude of craft purposes from card making to collage and more.



What do you do with vintage tablecloths that have holes and stains?? Well, you repurpose them of course! My cutters have been crafted into cute fabric flower pins that you can attach to your t-shirt, purse, headband...wherever you desire!



Vintage Drawer Pulls have so many new purposes! Use them to snazz up a tired night table or use them in some creative assemblage pieces. These have really nice details and are sold in pairs.

We hope that you learn how to make something useful again and be a creative crafter on Earth Day!!
