Found a bunch of great loot this morning at our local thrift store. Total cost for everything: $4. Woo hoo! I have so many of these shabby chic style dishes. I just can't resist them. It's stamped Made in Austria on the bottom. Can you see the cabbage rose design??? How cute are these baby shoes??? I just had to grab this adorable bunny ornament. I'm constantly looking for French book paper, which seems...
Easter Flashcards
March 25, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
I'm a little obsessed with making my own vintage-inspired flashcards. I whipped some up yesterday for Easter/spring. I only made a few because, truth be told, I couldn't think of too many Easter/spring-y words. Plus it's still cold here and the weather has been less than inspiring. I'm open to any suggestions on additional words! Jeanine ...
Have You Been to Michael's Recently?
March 22, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
So much to swoon over at Michael's these days. I popped in last week and was greeted with some much needed spring-inspiration. Tons of these cuties for Easter. And lots of Mason jar-inspired love. I was most taken with the denim. It's everywhere! Loving that ampersand. I spy: ribbon galore and yes, even denim wrapping paper. So much to choose from. Where do you begin????? I didn't buy anything this trip, but I'm definitely going...

Friday's Thrifty Finds
March 13, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
Today's haul set me back a whole $5.50! Not sure what is up with my camera with the glare, but I think you can make out these two ceramic bunnies. The perfect size to fit under a cloche! I had a cake tray in my hand at Home Goods last week, but put it back down. This one was only $2. I couldn't pass up the mismatched salt & pepper shakers. They let me have...
DIY Statement Necklaces
March 10, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
I think I've mentioned before that I started my crafting endeavors 20 years ago when I made jewelry. So how excited was I when I was offered the chance to review DIY Statement Necklaces, a new book by Erin Pruckno of Thanks, I Made It fame?! I'm a HUGE fan of statement necklaces - the chunkier, the better. How fun would it be to make your own? Well, this book shows you how. How about...
