Family Balance Sheet

Take them to work in your brown bag lunch, or choose one night a week as, “raid the fridge night” You’ll appreciate the night off from cooking. Choose thrift first. And rather than throw unused possessions away, donate to a thrift store or offer up on Freecycle.org. top photo credit.

I listened to a smashing Simon and Garfunkel cover band at the AT&T Patio Sessions in downtown with handsome men And it was warm enough for bare legs and lace I attended both the soft and grand opening of the new Sugar Derby vintage trailer (and somehow lost all my photos!) Hope you had a great weekend too!

I don’t think that this is the best lead photo for showcasing my outfit, but it sure is a good one for showcasing my smile. I think this is probably my favorite of my husband’s thrift finds, ever. Jacket, Vintage, Thrifted Hoodie, Old Navy Jeggings, ANA at JCPenny Booties, Target Handbag, SMAK. I quite like them together!

Garage sale and thrift store furniture bargains abound. I used a shop vac, but any powerful vacuum would work. I know that having someone redo an upholstered piece is expensive, but I now understand why – there is a lot of manual and time-consuming work involved. But there are ways to save – consider used furniture.

Old puzzle mats would also work, but you won’t be able to roll them up. If not, go to a local thrift store or go online on eBay/Craigslist and get yourself one. photo by: The post Budget Friendly Camping for the Whole Family appeared first on Prairie Eco-Thrifter.

So for now I hope we can just make due with the OK photos I’m taking. I know and understand the pieces available to me and am able to work with them. I am actually planning to wear those to work Friday. I know I need to buckle down and learn how to use the new camera. And I will. Because well, that’s what I’ve got.

And when Wendy asked for photos of people wearing double denim for her blog I thought “Why not”. Pairing this jacket with dark denim jeans not only works, but opens up a whole new section of my wardrobe to wear it with. It takes it from a work piece to a weekend piece and even an evening out piece. No discussion, just “NO”.

I ended up with a couple of tops, and this is one of them… It has been raining non-stop for a week or more now, and I have put away my Etsy bag of wonderment to keep it safe, and pulled out this nice thrifted leather bag. A hot girl taking fashion photos in your backyard? It makes me nervous and he is silly and distracting.

I don’t think it comes across in the photos, but the sweater actually has little bits of sage green running through it (and pink, and lilac , and purple, and mauve, and grey and light blue and gold and more!). And these photos are about a week old, so I forgot you hadn’t seen them yet, but check out those Doc Martin wedges.

These were all planted about three weeks ago and they are all sprouting beautifully (photos to come).

We went to a benefit show for the Dallas Soupmobile last night. The band was a Queen cover band called “Queen for a Day” and they were really fun. We danced and sang and had a great time.
