Thrifty Thursday #6

Sorry this one is coming so late in the day...I may or may not have spent some time at the pool this morning!  I got two letters from my husband who is away at Basic Training for the Air Force, YAY!

This Thursday I've got something that ANYONE can do, and I mean it.  As long as you can operate a standard electric iron, you can complete this project.  Earlier this week I posted about some curtains I helped a friend make for her living room, well I came home and HAD to make some of my own.

This week I haven't been to overly creative.  I've been working on bridal shower stuff for my best friend's wedding (I love saying that!).  I am going to share with you this week a projects that I did one morning in about 20 minutes.  I was heading to a wedding that day and had just bought a FREAKING FABULOUS Gap wrap dress form my favorite consignment store for a mere $15!  The dress was great, I just wanted to add a little pizzaz to it!

I got up that morning and decided that I was going to make something to wear with my dress.  Ambitious, I know!  Though, what I made turned out quite nice and I'm really happy with it.  The best part, it was completely free to me and would only cost someone who didn't have the supplies on hand a tiny little enny bitty bit!

Thrifty Thursday #4

Welcome back to Thrifty Thursday!  I know, I know....it felt like forever having to get through last week without a Thrifty Thursday or Friday update to meet you at the end.

Good news bloggies, it's BACK!

This week I am going to share with you something that I had been wanting to make for a while, I just had no use for it.  Then, some friends were getting married and I knew it would be perfect for this sweet, quirky couple.

Sorry for this post being a little late, my husband left for Basic Training for the Air Force this week and it's been quite hectic!  All posts this week until this one were scheduled....I'm slacking!

This week for my Thrifty Thursday, we are going to take a nice little trip to the Dollar Tree!  I LOVE this store, the cheapskate in me goes crazy in this store. I hate it when I walk out wondering 'How did I spend $20?  Everything was only a dollar!!"  Though, while reading the blog Tatertots and Jello I found this post which showed how to make a tiered dessert stand.  I fell in complete and utter love with the idea.  I love the retro feel of a dessert stand, it just speaks to me of days when women would go ALL out for a dinner party or a tea party...I mean, who has tea parties anymore??

Anywhooo...back to the project.  The total cost of this sweet little dessert stand is under $5!  Honestly, tell me where you can get a personalized piece of anything that is actually usable for less than $5. (crickets chirping) Exactly!

What time is it?

TOOL TIME...uh, I mean Thrifty Thursday!

My husband and I hit the thrift sores and picked up a few things and even transformed one!

Last week we headed to our favorite thrift store to peruse the isles and see what goodies we could find.  We stumbled upon some beauties!  I spotted this gorgeous wine box, lying on the floor under a rack full of clothes for $5.

Last week I started Friday Updates and I really like that it gives me direction in writing and motivation in crafting.  So, let's start another series.

This one will be called Thrifty Thursday and will be about my thrift store/dollar store/from the trash finds and how I use/reuse/re-purpose them!  My husband and I absolutely LOVE going to thrift stores and we're suckers for all things even remotely vintage.

I've been looking for a specific item and WE FOUND IT!  Check out how I transformed it into something spectacular!
