I have revamped my Etsy shop! There will be more to come later, but go check out what we are currently offering by clicking on the image below!

Instagramin'

If it isn't obvious by my lack of posts, school has been back in session for the past six or so weeks!  My nights are now being consumed by homework. I am longing for graduation already - come on May! In all of the craziness I have been working on a few projects for our home! I will put them up soon, hopefully!
I also got a new phone, which is awesome! AWESOME! I have been a bit too lazy to pick up my camera and take pictures today of our newest addition to our home - our new "spice rack."  So, I used my cell phone! All of you Instagram fans can appreciate this! I'm so addicted, especially since there is a cute little face running around here 24/7!

So do you like it?  I found the old Coke crate at a flea market this weekend knowing that it would look great in our kitchen! We are loving it!

Goodwill Hunting

Within the last month I feel like I have hit the jackpot with free finds and goodwill hunting! Here are a few of our finds!

Mustard yellow chair – $12
Yellow Suitcase - $5
White Basket (not including the “blankets” sign) - $3

 We found this beautiful chair while we were out on a walk on a Saturday morning! The garage sale was getting ready to end and no one wanted it! I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I loved the pattern and color! I have been looking for a chair like this for her room for quite some time now and this was the best price I have seen for a chair that is still in decent condition.  Patience is a virtue people! My parents actually bought it for us, so the price for us was zero!

Next to the chair is a suitcase which now houses some of her toys!  It has tons of space for all of her smaller toys, which has really been nice since she has a fairly small room and the toys sprawled out on the floor don’t help.

I have been drooling over some $15 baskets at TJ Maxx that are similar to this one for months.  I am SO glad I held out and didn’t buy TWO of them for $30! I made the little sign on the front for the basket that used to hold her blankets, but I like it much better on this one!

Globe – $2.50

This baby will be making an appearance in our guest bedroom/playroom/office when the attic is completely done.  Not only does it look cute, but we can educate our little girl with it!

Dresser – Free

I am in love with having this dresser in our kitchen! It doesn’t normally stand in front of the doorway, but it did for this day.  Our new dresser is our drink station (for hot cocoa and tea since we don’t drink coffee).  The drawers have been wonderful for extra storage and clearing off some extra counter space!

There is nothing wrong with free and cheap affordable finds for the home! Plus I think they are all pretty awesome, but that might just be me!
