Trying to get everyone where they need to be and getting everything done is always such a challenge. A good one but a challenge never the less. So Friday after dinner I decided to take a little break and hit up the two thrift stores in our town on my way to Wal-Mart for some necessities.<br />
My first stop was to the Salvation Army. I arrived 15 minutes before they closed. Well I found some great stuff in less than 15 minutes!<br />

I also picked up this vintage plaid coat. It was also 1/2 price it was $3.00. It is starting to get cooler here and I thought it would be just perfect for fall. I already wore it on Saturday!<br />
Then it was off to the Thrifty Shopper, I had an hour till closing here.<br />
I got a few scarves to add to my collection. They were $1.00 each.<br />

These necklaces were $1.99 each except for the silver one and one other but I am not sure which one. Those were .99cents each.<br />

This is the only thing I picked up for the house. At $1.99 I could not resist it! What is not to love? Red and white POLKA DOTS!<br />
Well when I was checking out I found out they were having a sale the very next day for 40% off the entire store!<br />
So the next day I headed over with Miss A.<br />
She picked up 3 pairs of jeans for $4.19 each and a t-shit she loves. It has Elmo on it and NYC.<br />
I picked up this neat bracelet.<br />

Ralph Lauren tweed for $2.99. It is apparently vintage from the 80’s. I found a similar one on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/45670002/vintage-black-and-white-w-red-plaid?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=ralph+lauren+purse&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_facet=vintage">Etsy</a> for $85.00!<br />
Well how have you done this past weekend? Are yard sales in your area starting to fade?<br />

Two I like really nice and sometimes expensive stuff.  Keeping this in mind I find that shopping second hand is the best choice for me.  Last week I felt that I needed to get some “new” clothes so I headed to our local Salvation Army on quarter day.  Quarter day is an unadvertised sale, in fact there were several people shopping there that day that did not even realize that one of the color tickets were a quarter.  They were not my size so I let them in on the secret while we were waiting for the changing room!    On this trip I only paid “full” price for two pairs of shoes, everything else was either 1/2 price or .25 cents.  So are you ready?  Here is what I got!<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CGbevSkkN48/TmYvQ6UbTkI/AAAAAAAACBs/ooRe9t5_mAU/s1600-h/246%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

Most recently Sarah from Thrifty Décor Chick used July not to buy anything for her home and instead tackled her stash instead.<br />
So I have decided to try to do the same. No spending! I will need to get the kids some stuff for school and we need some car work. But I am going to go through my stash of stuff first, make a list and have a plan.<br />
The last time we went out to eat it cost us $86.00 plus a tip! So that won’t be happening. I am going to go through my cookbooks and recipes pantry and freezer. I am going to plan menus and have a list before going to the store.<br />
Of course I am going to keep collecting <a href="http://swagbucks.com/?cmd-home">Swagbucks</a>. Last month I was able to purchase 6 bottles of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mrs-Meyers-Clean-Day-16-Ounce/dp/B000E75EQY">Mrs. Meyer's Clean dish soap</a> for .79 cents, for all 6. I turned my points in for Amazon gift cards.<br />
So how am I doing here on day three? Well pretty good. Saturday is my marketing day, so we are making do with what we have in the house for food. Last night was spaghetti and ditalini pasta with pizza sauce over it and a can of veggies ( the kids kept asking where the meatballs were). Tonight was frozen corn dogs, tossed salad (made with the remnants of veggies in the crisper) and pretzels. Tomorrow we will have BBQ chicken, rice and frozen corn.<br />
Also to keep my creative juices flowing <strike>keep myself from going completely bored </strike> I tweaked my kitchen just a little using what I had in the house.<br />

Here is the counter next to the stove before (I wish I had noticed the side of the fridge before, but no).<br />

This vintage canister of which I have a complete set is the inspriation for my kitchen. So working with these colors I decided to add a little and make this area more me.<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-8ES3Iriq-l4/Tjn43sCp_nI/AAAAAAAABx8/8oyk-N6zyVk/s1600-h/kitchen%252520tweeking%252521%252520%252520some%252520etsy%252520011%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="kitchen tweeking! some etsy 011" border="0" height="431" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g6tLaPz1KkU/Tjn44gVwI4I/AAAAAAAAByA/R_uo1nqBJpg/kitchen%252520tweeking%252521%252520%252520some%252520etsy%252520011_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="kitchen tweeking! some etsy 011" width="644" /></a><br />
So I grabbed this cake stand and played around with my stuff that I use over here.<br />
I knew I wanted to keep my kitchen tools, my sugar bowl, salt and pepper shakers, the vintage scale with the juice glasses, the coffee mugs and cutlery holder. There was also a green depression glass tray that was there that you could not see.<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BzL46uVP3Wo/Tjn46ipgChI/AAAAAAAAByE/57DejVwh4wg/s1600-h/kitchen%252520tweeking%252521%252520%252520some%252520etsy%252520010%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="kitchen tweeking! some etsy 010" border="0" height="431" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-UwJFCfajR6A/Tjn47iYsceI/AAAAAAAAByI/IfGk_7mbUHo/kitchen%252520tweeking%252521%252520%252520some%252520etsy%252520010_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="kitchen tweeking! some etsy 010" width="644" /></a><br />
Other than the cake stand all I added was a little red Pyrex refrigerator dish with my Equal packets that I use everyday. <br />
Next up was to change the ribbon in the cake stand. So off to my stash I went.<br />

This is only a small portion of that stash. But I found what I wanted and quit looking!<br />

I though about gluing them together but in the end it worked just fine leaving them separate.<br />

My stove area. The other burner cover was in the sink, we do have two!<br />
Take the stuff off of the shelf. Reposition the children’s plates and make the black salt and pepper shakers not look so not me.<br />
So after removing everything I decide to tackle the salt and pepper shakers.<br />

I remembered that there was a link to print free Cath Kidston labels. I love Cath Kidston stuff it has a wonderful vintage feel. and went in search of it. You can find it <a href="http://stuart747.hubpages.com/hub/Cath-Kidston-Printable-labels">here.</a> There were several to choose from and they have the instructions with them on what to do. So I picked the one that I liked and saved it to my computer as a Jpeg and was then able to edit it in Piknik. <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gu_GKELH3p0/Tjn6WUIwuKI/AAAAAAAABzE/D6wHd4nBoHk/s1600-h/cath%252520kidston%252520label%252520how%252520to%252520001%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="cath kidston label how to 001" border="0" height="431" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lkpWRJhW4Xo/Tjn6XbhnWzI/AAAAAAAABzI/IaFnTL1k6GU/cath%252520kidston%252520label%252520how%252520to%252520001_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="cath kidston label how to 001" width="644" /></a><br />

I liked how they turned out so well I decided to make one for our cinnamon sugar shaker. The only difference was that I remembered that I had read somewhere to spray clear spray paint on the printed image before using the Mod Podge. Well I had some so I tried it out and will be redoing these using that method.<br />

A Great Weekend!<p>I have been looking forward to the annual Route 90 garage sales for at least a month now.  It is 50 miles of garage sales from the village of Homer(5 minutes from my house) to Montezuma.  I never make it more than 1 of the 50 miles, before I am A. to tired and B. broke.  You may remember some of my finds from last year.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PT2XiubX2xg/TjYghfqFxlI/AAAAAAAABsA/xZZ9Ll-15mc/s1600-h/016%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

Oh no sir. <br />
Friday after the kids got done with their swim lessons at NOON we stopped at two. <br />
The first one was just we just happened to pass by and stopped.<br />

I also got these cute shoes both are from American Eagle. The sandals I wore this morning to church and loooove them. However I didn’t look at the size of the flats, and well they are to small(size 9) so they are going to be listed on Ebay. Oh well. I paid $4.00 for the shoes.<br />
<br />
The next sale we went to was pretty far out, but I was ready for a little drive. I didn’t know it by the add but it was a sweet little old lady that was having a barn sale. I am not sure if it was because it was so far out or what but she still had a lot left when I got there and she had priced everything really really well.<br />

Usually with the holidays the garage sale scene is a bust. This weekend however was <span style="font-size: large;">AWESOME!</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> First of all my husband usually has to work on Saturday. This weekend however he had off since they exceeded quota for June, it is a holiday weekend and it is the beginning of the month. Yea! So Friday night, he asked me what I wanted to do on Saturday. <strike> Well let me think</strike> YARDSALE…..did you really have to ask. So we got the kids up at the crack of dawn and headed out to a neighborhood sale in our area. It was great.</span><br />

This stuff was actually from a barn sale we went to after the neighborhood sale. The napkins were .25 cents each, I got 12 and the bracelet was $1.00, the earrings .50 cents each and the swizzle sticks were $2.00.<br />
I love the swizzle sticks.<br />

When I saw these I ran up the driveway hoping there wasn’t a sold sign on them. I was in luck. Of course my husband came up behind me wondering why I wanted such “ugly” chairs. What ugly, these are vintage 1940’s chairs. Well I paid for them and went back for them later. <br />
Then in the evening I found a picture in country living of “my” chairs. He likes them a lot better now. It doesn’t hurt either that they are oh so comfortable. <br />

This great tole lamp that was made in Italy. I may sell it, even though it matches my living room and it is oh so pretty. The details on it are amazing. It even has the original shade. I have never seen a shade so well made.<br />
I also have a couple of more things that I wasn’t able to get photographed. Mostly the kids stuff.<br />
Well I hope that your long weekend has been fun and have a great day tomorrow. We just got back from the fireworks tonight and we are going to go on a picnic tomorrow.<br />

Get ready and grab a cup of coffee this is probably the longest post in history with way to many pictures.</p> <p>   This room was assembled over a significant period of time and and on a super tight budget.  As I collected stuff, as I could afford it, I put it away until after we were able to get the couch and and assemble the room.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yydzkwhYIYk/TgtlnYrE3KI/AAAAAAAABWU/x67nJOeMsTY/s1600-h/before%252520living%252520room%252520redo%252520039%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

The lamp that is sitting on it came from a consignment shop, it was $25……way more than what I usually send when buying second hand.  I even left it in the store and went back the next day with my daughter to ask her opinion.  She said you will never find anything else like it, you love it and it’s cool.  SOLD!!!</p> <p> On the coffee table I have a large vase from the thrift store.  I filled it with thrifted shells and the flowers are from the dollar store and Wal-Mart.  The vase was $2.99 and the flowerers were $4.00 for all of them.  The tray was $1.00 from a rummage sale and the mirror was .99 cents from the thrift store.  I had everything else.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Icaxn_wAxFI/TgtmFLc8UvI/AAAAAAAABXM/de3ZuRMFXsk/s1600-h/living%252520room%252520016%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

One area I am very happy with is my gallery wall. This is a room that has many functions and requires a lot of furniture so there is not a lot of wall space left for my pretties. So after seeing all the beautiful displays at <a href="http://theinspiredroom.net/2011/04/05/gallery-wall/">The Inspired Room gallery wall party</a> and at <a href="http://www.thenester.com/2011/02/gallery-walls.html">Nester's,</a> I decided to take the plunge. <br />

Everything up here has meaning to me. It was also all bought very inexpensively, I made it or it was something that I had that I re-did.<br />
The large mirror was from an auction at a mansion that was built by Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary of war. It was originally gold. I paid $7.50 for it. It was especially nice because my husband and I went to the auction for our anniversary……without the kids!<br />

This was a frame that I picked up at a yard sale for .50 cents that I painted. It had no back so I cut a piece of cardboard to fit it and cut a piece of a worn vintage tablecloth for the inside. The mirrored bird came in a set of three with three words as well for $7.50 they were on clearance at Marshalls. <br />

The vintage postcard is of Thousands Islands. My husband and I had our honeymoon there. I made the rope ball. The shelf used to be gold, it came from the thrift store. I got a pair of them for .99 cents.<br />

The clock was the one we had. I took a vintage history book I bought at an estate sale for $1.00 and decoupaged a few of the pages to it. The ironstone platter was $2.00 at a yard sale and I cut out the vinyl with my Cricut.<br />

The vintage letter “B” came in a set of 3 (another larger B and a R) for $5.00. It came from the flea market in Brooklyn that Nate Berkus mentions <a href="http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=ct-rd-click&id=2849046&tp=w&ip=96.25.253.243&pd=false&b=1&hst=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenateshow.com%2Fvideos%2Fdetail%2F413%2Fnate-at-the-brooklyn-flea-market%2F&frm=http%3A%2F%2Fdsclick.infospace.com%2FClickHandler.ashx%3Fru%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fwww.thenateshow.com%252fvideos%252fdetail%252f413%252fnate-at-the-brooklyn-flea-market%252f%26coi%3D239138%26cop%3Dmain-title%26c%3Dprodege.meta2.swagbucks%26ap%3D5%26npp%3D1%26p%3D0%26pp%3D4%26pvaid%3Dc9350e2e708b41ddbdf5ebe182930b9a%26ep%3D1%26euip%3D96.25.253.243%26app%3D1%26hash%3D75DCBFF6D47AB1A059F73BBD41DDA71E&ncc=0">here.</a> I made the small mirror with a thrift store mirror, some paint and a stencil.

More vintage postcards. These are of New York City. Our favorite vacation destination. The quilt was $15.00 at a estate sale. They are hanging from an old crib rail.
