I've been sort of quiet on the thrifting front this summer. As with all lovers of thrifty finds, my house was getting overrun with STUFF. I joke about it being a hoarding situation, but it's more of a I really shouldn't buy anything else until I find a place to display my last set of...

It was a gorgeous fall day when the Country Living Fair came to town a few weekends ago. And I was there bright and early Friday morning just as the gates popped opened. There was not going to be a "you snooze, you lose" excuse going on here. I was an early-bird and there were...

Lots of stuff has been going on around here lately, so I thought I'd better get you up to speed. I bought a new house. Mid-century two-story with a fabulous nursery. Tin of course. OK, I know this goes totally against the whole KonMari Method for de-cluttering thing I talked about in January (you know,...

Sometimes a day of thrifting goes right. And sometimes it goes wrong. Oh, so wrong. Let's start with the "thrifting goes right" part though.

This is what happens when you're bored. You're still in Christmas buying mode. And it's a slow day at the antique mall. A few days after Christmas, my son and I drove down to a favorite antique mall a few towns over. It was more or less to just get out of the house and...
