Thrifty Thursday #52

     It's one of my favorite days of the week- Thursday. . . wanna see my haul this week?

 

I saw this half full box of envelopes for $1 and stopped dead in my tracks. I love envelopes- does that make me sound weird?

I could go on a shopping spree at an office supply store and fill a cart- and I don't even work in an office!

Honestly, though, I would love to go into an office supply store with the challenge of creating a scrapbook. I would be on Cloud Nine. Anybody know of a challenge like this? :)

 

Got this brand new pack of six styrofoam balls for fifty cents. I don't have a use for them right now, but give me a little time. I'll come up with something. In the meantime, I'll put them in one of my craft supply drawers and they won't even take up much room.

 

Got this more than half full spool of tulle for a dollar. Who can't use tulle? It works great in craft projects and even looks beautiful wrapped around a gift.

 

Found this old Fiesta Ware saucer for a quarter. Love that shade of green!

My mother-in-law used to collect Fiesta Ware, so I'll think of her when I use it.

 

It's hard to tell in this picture, but this set of three saucers and a small bowl is adorable! It was only a dollar for all four pieces! If you've stopped by on Thrifty Thursday before, you're probably thinking that I have more than enough tiny China plates. And you're right- I do. So I have now started a collection for one of my good friends. I so love to have a reason to buy cute plates!

 

Good luck to you and your thrifty adventures this week. Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

But I have trusted in Your mercy;

my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

My Fall Wreath

     Recently, I made this jute wreath with interchangeable rosettes so I could change the rosettes with the seasons. This way I always have a pretty wreath to hang on my door.

     I wanted to share my fall version with you.

 

I dug through my material looking for fabric with natural colors to use on the rosettes.

 

The green one is fabric from an old McCoy's handkerchief, the next one is made from burlap (who doesn't love burlap?), the third one is made from tulle, and the last one is brown fabric with off white dots (who doesn't love polka dots?).

I attached these to alligator clips so they will come off easily when I replace them with Christmas themed rosettes. . .

 

If you'd like to make a simple wreath like this for yourself, you can go here for a tutorial.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
