The hubby and I hit an estate sale this morning while the boys were in school. Lookie at all of the goodies we snatched up: There is something intriguing to me about the clown with the violin. I don't know if it's a jewelry charm or perhaps more of an ornament. The artist painted the image onto a metal shape - which I know makes it very old. I just can't tell what type of metal it...
I made a few more painted peat pots this week and I think I'm becoming a little obsessed. For this batch, I added some number tags along with the buttons I used on my previous bird one: The first one is filled with rolled vintage sheet music and ones I downloaded from The Graphics Fairy. The other two I'm still deciding on what to fill them with. For now they are filled with shredded sheet...
I just can't seem to get any good photos of our Christmas tree. I don't know if it's because of the dreary weather or the lights on the tree or what?! Here are a few of my attempts: I almost feel like this one makes the tree look like the leaning tower of Pisa! Ha!

I am keeping to a tight Xmas gift budget this year but...

I had spied a similar pair in Romantic Homes and did a copycat you might remember from my old blog One Cheap B*tch: Some of the glitter on the blades has started to wear...
We're planning on putting up our tree this weekend, but in the meantime wanted to share some more Christmas touches about the house. Cindy from Cottage Instincts helped with the inspiration for these mason jars: I had filled them with some shredded vintage sheet music but that's about as far as I got until I popped over to Cindy's yesterday. I loved her jars so much that I immediately went to the Dollar Store to...
