This one is a short one you guys. This is my dollar day purchase this month. Slim pickings second hand shopping this month in the repurposing department. I saw a really fun farmhouse DIY that used a candle holder like this where they added a really pretty birdhouse to it’s base. I eventually will do…
A sweet summer time treat .
Food has gone up so much lately. Starting to feel a lot like the 1970’s. Now I know why my parents were so scared back then. I was really little but I do remember having to move in with my Nana to save money. Even though food prices are going up there are still ways…
In the garden…. summer swimming, painting a pallet garden, saving succulents and a baby dove visits.
Did some more propagating this month, all cacti. I also have some houseplants I have been trying to reproduce to fill the inside of my home with. I also noticed my succulents weren’t doing so well this month. I’m trying you guys. Real plants aren’t so easy to take care of. I was able to…
It’s country time.
Took a trip up to the country. We all needed a break from the city. While there I went shopping for vintage items. I mostly bought books. I also found some little storage containers for organizing small art supplies of mine. An old chocolate tin. I think it’s from the 1920-1930’s. And a really pretty…

She would…

In the garden…The bees are here, new baby chicks and creating art for the garden.
“ Even to the smallest creatures, we should have care and respect. They are here to help us not hurt us.” May was such a beautiful month here in our garden. We got some cool breezes and a few drops of rain this month, which I totally took advantage of. I spent a whole day…
Dollar day do over…repurposing a vintage jewelry box.
“ When I make of my hands, I give of my heart.” I went out junking the other week and came across this jewelry box. It was a little worn on the corners but I didn’t mind since I like worn and rustic things. Means they were loved. Like an old stuffed toy from…
Dollar day do over….candles.
“ The greatest wealth is to live content with little.” Plato Sometimes when out shopping on bargain days thrifting I will come across huge candles for $1. The candles are burned half way or a little beat up but they can be repurposed by melting them down and re-jarring them. This is the first time…
