Goodies and Thrifting

Last week I had the privilege of receiving a sweet package from Miss Chris. It included an adorable embroidered cherry flour sack towel (already in use), some vintage strawberry eyelet, and a cute bunny tag with some red vintage buttons attached. I am thinking the strawberry eyelet would make the cutest bloomers for Spenser. I need to get right on that. (Thanks, again, Chris.)

I also popped into the two local thrift stores as I waited for a prescription to be filled. I found the above sheets (love the yellows and oranges),

about a yard of vintage printed dotted swiss (that looked like it was trying to be a curtain), a striped pillowcase, the crib sheet that I used on Sawyer's outfit, and the piece de resistance ...

a set of four vintage sandwich plates.

Love, Love love, love love the sandwich plate set!!! Adorable!!

And of course- totally jealous of your fab fabric finds!

I need to drop a trunk-full of stuff off at a thrift store tomorrow. Maybe the donation will equal a few fun finds for me as a little good karma? We'll see....

I'm with Pink Croc. I have some stuff to drop off -- maybe that will insure some good fabric finds.

How fun that you got such cute stuff from Chris. She is a sweetie!

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
