Frugal Find Friday!

I just had to share these little guys I picked up at Habitat for $1 FOR BOTH!


(6am + iPhone = Blurry)
They just came out of a cycle in the dishwasher (dust, dirt, dead bugs) so now I am just pondering what to do with them! Any suggestions?

Dollar Tree Makeover (tease)

I decided to stop by the Dollar Tree last night to see if there were any gems I could get my hands on.

Outcome: I spent $7 and got these 7 things...

Before:

and this shot does not do this ugly little birdy justice...


Brown crackle paint anyone? But you just can't help to love his big fat belly!

I started the facelift for some of these items last night, so hopefully I'll be able to wrap them up tonight!
Stay tuned :)

It's The Little Things...

I just LOVE that I can go out and find an item for $3 and love it as much as I love my new dining room table, (which they actually happen to be on for their photo shoot!)

I just have to share them with you guys...

I mean, come on... :)

Another...

Look at them in all their glory!

Now, for the purpose of my siamese fishies...


YES! Their home will be on our new/old entry table/sewing table as our key holder!

I just cant even stand how adorable this is.

**The entry way is coming along, be on the look out for the before and after in the next couple weeks!

Frugal Finds- Coat Hooks

Arrrgggggg (haha, that made me laugh when I wrote it), we are going on a treasure hunt!
Wow, I'm sorry about that.

ANYWAY- The point of this post is to share one of the little hidden treasures I came across last week at TJ Maxx. I know sometimes those stores can be overwheling but if you have some time on your hands and can slowly meander through, it's not so bad.

Good news- uber adorable, vintage, green (my favorite!)


Bad news- 1 of the hooks is broken :(


Silver lining- got this baby for $3.00!

Don’t shy away from things like this. Perfect doesn't equal beautiful.

When I decide to take on this project, I will just unscrew the remaining 3 GORGEOUS hooks, paint them or not paint them is TBD, and make a new fresh coat rack with only 3 hooks. Easy as pie. And I still get to use my new favorite hooks, I will just have to get my hands dirty to do so!
