Thrifty Finds

hello *there* ! Welcome to my first *Thrifty Finds* post! I was able to get to my *favourite* second hand store - that us locals call 'Teds'. It's this big warehouse where people donate their wares and Ted sells them for a good price. I was able to get a bunch of stuff like old windows, some table legs, an ironing board (needed a new one), and my favourite - four trays and two cups and saucers. I especially loved the $0.50 price tag on the trays and the $1.00 price for each cup and saucer.

I have lots of ideas for the trays and the cup and saucer and will share soon! Can you guess what I am going to make??? Have a great day!

I wanted to share a few pictures of my house that we are working at making our home :)

It's an old stone house that we have been working on since we took possession on October 12th. With the help of my sweet, beautiful and dearly missed mom we unlocked the door and got to work! Will share more pictures soon of some rooms in progress (as of still no room is completely finished!).

Here's the link to my pinterest board.

Welcome to my new blog!

hello *there*! Yes - I have a new blog! I have decided to start a new one as my life has taken many changes since I started my old blog and thought a fresh new start would be great!

I will still share my scrapbooking and my new project life obsession with you but this blog will also be sharing my new love: all things do-it-yourself! My partner and I bought an old stone house in October of 2012 and we have been having fun decorating and renovating it. Most of my decorating has been inspired by another addiction of mine - PINTEREST and my love of junking. I love the hunt of finding a piece of something (and at a very low cost) and turning it into something else.

So please keep checking in to see what I have done!
