There are a select few of you out there who avoid thrift stores. More specifically you eschew them. Because that’s what the hoity toity do. They eschew. Incidentally, hoity toity has nothing to do with wealth or income. It has to do with a mindset. Often the hoity toity can be found buying only what [...]
Around this time last year I posted a Christmas House Tour of my home that featured a DIY I came up with using a few supplies from the Dollar Store and … the ever popular mason jar. I have a thing for mason jars. And by “thing” I mean an unhealthy love affair [...]
It may seem a little late for a Halloween giveaway. I mean … Halloween stuff has been on the shelves since I threw my first hotdog on the BBQ some time back in June. You know. Around the same time stores started to hang massive foam snowflakes around their winter parka displays. So you’ll have [...]
In honour of these creatively chic chicks my sister crafted I am going to write this entire post using only words that begin with the letter “C”. Clearly crafty city chics carefully create countertop chicks ’cause constable confetti clapping cretin clarinet. Crap. Kay, this isn’t working. Let’s try again using the letter [...]
Today I’m going to give you a lesson on being open to taking things in a different direction when you have to. ’Cause I’m all about giving life lessons and making the world a happier place with rainbows and kittens and skin tags that magically disappear with the wink of an eye. I went to [...]
In keeping with this week’s theme of ohmygodistillhavesomuchtodohowdidthishappen, I’m going right into today’s post. There will be no funny. None. This here is a bare, bones post with pretty pictures. And hopefully some inspiration. And intrigue. And maybe even a MURDER! But probably not. I have a great story about a bag of potato chips, [...]
There’s still a couple of weeks left in the holiday season and I’m going to milk everything out of it that I can. I wish it were Christmas every month. There’s no shortage of post ideas, that’s for sure. You know those stores where it’s Christmas all year round? They’re usually ingeniously named “The Christmas [...]
3 months ago I sat straight up in bed and said “Pinecone bows” out loud. It wasn’t the weirdest thing I’d ever done in bed, but it was up there. I knew, like the time I apparently pushed the fella right out of bed, I would forget this in the morning. So I got [...]
I shouldda been a farmer. If given the choice between living in a penthouse in New York City and a farm in the middle of Montana with a herd of cattle and shotgun, I’d pick the shotgun every time. Well, not necessarily the shotgun, but the farm setting. Where sometimes you need a shotgun. [...]
It has been a longggg time since I did a Dollar Store post. I’m not “off” the Dollar Store. I’m still quite madly in love with the Dollar Store. We were just on a break for a while. We’re back together again. And it’s all because of a plate. A white, rectangular, sharp cornered plate [...]
Cute, right? To put it in perspective … here it is in the room. Rather large. Rather impressive. Rather cheap. $1 for the yarn at the Dollar Store, $1 for the two way tape. If you need to go out and buy the spiders, that’ll set you back another dollar or two. I know. I [...]
First things first. I’m afraid of spiders, I don’t like spiders, spiders are the devil. Big, fake spiders however, don’t bother me none. Until last year while going through the checkout at my local Dollarama, I had no idea how lucky I was to have the bravery in me to be able to [...]
