Saving Cents With Sense

SEPTEMBER 18, 2013

When I was a child, my father took a princess costume from the year before, put a cutout of a tooth on my crown and wand (with plenty of glitter of course) and added wings from the dollar store. Dollar stores have tons of accessories you can use this Halloween such as wings, glasses, make up, boas, tiaras, costume jewelry and more.

I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. 12 – Sell your unused gold jewelry. Many years ago, I gathered up all of my unused and broken 14k jewelry and sold it to a jeweler. You can read more about how I made $150 by selling my gold jewelry here.

Of course, parents were out in their lawn chairs or chatting over the fence with neighbors and the neighborhoods were safe for kids to roam. We would dig out Mom’s old dresses and broken jewelry and play dress up, often adding an impromptu play. None of our yards were fenced off, so we had plenty of room for the field.

I have mugs, a teapot set, teas, pens, notebooks, books, clothes, jewelry, and so on! Favorite Disney Character: Alice, of course! Though of course I love Disney World as a whole, if I had to choose one park to visit, it would be Epcot. I love their selection of purses and jewelry. Read above =).

Work With What You've Got

JANUARY 25, 2010

I had organized a clothing swap that worked entirely through the mail. In the dream it seemed really easy, but of course that would be a really difficult and daunting task. But what was really interesting was that I was working on a swap. So, what did you dream this weekend?

I’m really good at re-purposing jewelry. Yes, I enjoy looking at clothes and seeing how people style things, but it’s always the girl herself that draws me in and ALWAYS always the girl herself that keeps me there, coming back day after day to read that blog again. But here goes… 1. Oh my gosh. Yes yes yes. It’s human nature.
