watch as my creative juices flow... with little $$ but some great ideas things come together
Yes good bye winter. Spring has sprung around here. Finally!! Every winter seems to get longer. And spring seems to be a little behind. We want sun shine we want warmth. I want to see flowers blooming. And so finally this has all begone. Even if I had to use dollar store flowers to spring up my life. You know I love the dollar store. And to spruce up my thrifted finds. Do you remember the little umbrella I thrifted. I think it will get a color change in the future, but for now I used it as is.

My good friend Jamillie is a an awesome photographer and as soon as I told her J was with child she asked when are we doing a photo shoot. Funny thing when I was pregnant with J {20 yrs ago} I hid whenever someone brought out a camera. Now it’s all the rage to take pictures of a wonderfully big ole belly. So I was totally excited for this shoot and even thrifted props for it.
J is a big baseball fan. She played softball throughout her school years. So this seemed like a great theme for her shoot. We went to a nearby park that has a baseball field and as you will see below it was an awesome shoot.
I loved this shot so much I made it into a save the date card for her shower…Continue reading

As I will paint anything not nailed down. Ok well if walls count as nailed down, then I do paint that tooooooooo. lol
Today we have the transformation of a cute little bunny. Cause it’s time to get ready for Easter. Sorry if you came back to see the lantern. That’s in above picture.

Time for another thrift store find to under go it’s transformation. And become this weeks Transformed Treasures Tuesday’s no 3. I had picked up these little candle stick set a few months back. As they are wood I automatically thought they would make a good surface for my trusty go to Rub & Buff for a quick and easy transformation. I also used some of my Annie Sloan paint and here they are.
I’m really hoping to get to some more of those treasures in the cover image [above] transformed. That lantern has patiently been waiting it’s turn for a revamp. I’m thinking it should be next.

Thrift Share Thursday no 8 it’s time to see what White Milk Glass I have picked up over this month. Every time I go out thrift shopping White Milk Glass is at the top of my look for items. I’ve stopped picking up vases. As my collection has about 30ish vases. So now I look for only other White Milk Glass pieces. Anything pretty & useful. I use my White Milk Glass stuff for parties. As well as displays around the apartment. This months haul happens to be all Hob Nail and that was not on purpose. Lucky me, it just happened…
