We had two estate sales in the neighborhood yesterday. While the boys were at school, I popped by both. Holy moly! Boy, were they loaded! I could have gone crazy at the second one but the prices were a bit steep. I might head over later today to see if there are any better deals to be had. Love the religious statue. I can't recall the saint's name though. The chalkboards are real slate. I can't...
I went to my local Michael's over the weekend and nearly died laughing when I saw what they were calling a redneck wine glass! They glued a mason jar to a candlestick:
They added some red paint and affectionately called it a redneck wine glass. As luck would have it, I had a dollar store candlestick and a mason jar available, so I made one.
I'm using mine to hold my hydrangeas - not wine.

I popped over to a local estate sale this morning. I had gone last week but the prices were outrageous. I thought maybe this morning they'd be more flexible and they were...on certain items.

If you're like me, you stock up on tea towels when you go to the dollar store. I had a few lying around in my craft room and as luck would have it, I had some iron-on transfer paper too. Put two and two together and you get some cute new towels: I bought this image off of Etsy (popalicious, 99 cents!) over the weekend. I spied it on Pinterest (thanks Gina from Shabby Creek Designs!) and thought...
Sweet & Simple Inspiration from Pinterest
December 11, 2011 / BY Okio B Designs
I saw this idea on Pinterest yesterday and thought it was so sweet and simple that I just had to copycat: A clear mason jar filled with some fresh pine cones and an evergreen branch (courtesy of my neighbor's pine tree!) with a couple of candy canes. I love the simplicity of it and the fact that I had everything I needed for a quick little holiday touch. And since simple seems to be my word...
