LLLLLAAAAA!!!! found for a song!

Yes, that's me singing!! Don't judge me...you know you want to break out in a song too when you find a super duper find...for super duper cheap!!!

Well, this mama in all it Gi-normasness, is 2 ft wide and 5 ft long...and priced in at $24.99 UNLESS you hit the 'color of the day' baby!!! $12.00 LLLLAAAAA! Look at the frame!

Isn't it awesome? You know me, it's not staying like this...my plans are to paint the picture out and then paint the words Bon Appetit on it! And hang it in the kitchen (just like they show in Pottery Barn or Ballard Designs). I'll be sure to post when it's done! (finally an indoor paint project).


The other super duper find is this:
Love the color and print of this comforter set. The price was probably a bit higher than I would normally pay ($14), but it comes w/all the extras (like a bed skirt) and when you're dealing with this....

You know that you can't get a new non-matching skirt or fabric for this! It matches my daughters room perfectly.

Anyway, those are my finds....off to sing some more!!

Would love your comments and follows!!!

Long Lost Treasure

I've mentioned before and I'll say it again....I LOVE junk stores. I love the art of the search or the search for the art in this case.


A few years ago....yes, a few years ago, my sister and I spent the day junking. We try to hit as many thrift stores we can in a day. On this day, she took me to the 'new' thrift store in town. It was run by a church and was filled with all kinds of 'treasures'. This particular treasure I spotted from a far...and I remember my sister did too AT THE EXACT SAME TIME! We ran over and pushed some others aside and there it was....

Now, it may not seem like much of a treasure to you, but to us.....well. You see, this picture was done in 1975....by my dad!!
We recognized the style of picture and knew right away! Being from Indiana he drew alot of covered bridges. There are a lot where I grew up! Since our move to Wisconsin, this picture has double meaning. It being drawn by my dad and it being of a covered bridge.
In the move, the glass did get broken. So, I've taken the time to search my local thrift store for a frame. I painted it out and added the mat. The mat is from Walmart for less than $5! It is chair webbing. I love the texture and the color....
I love this Long Lost Treasure!

inventing? sure.

Okay. So after spending WAY too many hours on blog land and finding way too many fun projects to add to my list of home decor, I decided to try to be productive. Meaning...making money to afford these projects. I think you know that I'm in the 'middle' of developing a product. A real, marketable, product. I was so tired last night (from blogging too long, that's the only thing I did) that I curled up on the couch and watched Entreprenuers on MSNBC (i think it was). Sara Blakely from Spanx was on. That was enough to turn my wheels yet again! "Herstory" is so inspiring! You can check 'herstory' out here: http://www.spanx.com/ She was told NO for 2 years straight. Can you imagine? Yes, I can actually.

So today, after my zumba class and reading my blogs (they're like a daily newspaper, but filled w/happy stuff), I once again proceed forward w/this product of mine.

I've been told by many 'men' no, but recently have been told by 1 that he will be calling. We've been playing this phone tag game and I'm gonna win! Yes, I'm being persistent!

I'm not 100% sure what I'm gonna say when he does finally call, but seriously...I've got to make money for my projects!
