Craft
Two girls and two boys living in our nest means a lot of shopping and designing and crafting to make their little twin nests their own. Ponytail holders once adorned the girl's bathroom curtain and played their part as a quick solution to tie-backs. Now, thanks to two spools of ribbon, the girls now have a more stylish solution. I could have punched these out in a day, but with our current sickness quota, it took two nap times to get this Ribbon Flower Garland finished. Small felt squares were used to sew the ribbon onto and a long strand of green ribbon functioned as the garland...
Thrift
Boys! True to the nature of boys, my little gents are in love with this wooden airplane rocker I picked up at a consignment/thrift store. The price tag: $15.00! Mr. T spends countless minutes playing with the propeller. I can only imagine when his legs are long enough, how much time they will spend on this baby.

Mark your blogging schedules for Wednesdays, when I will be writing my craft and thrift posts. Sometimes the craft will go with the thrift and other times, it won't! Two things I love to do, posting now on Wednesdays!
Do you find yourself thrifting more with the current times?
Do you consign?

I'll look forward to sharing Wednesdays with you!
I actually started thrifting when I started blogging. I truly was a thrift store snob before, wouldn't have stepped foot inside of one. Boy oh boy I didn't know what I was missing! I love it so much that my son and I are probably going to open one up ourselves. We are in the process of investigating, making a business plan, and gathering stock right now. He isn't into school and needs a little direction as far as a career goes so this just may be the thing.
I hope you will teach us how to make those darling ribbon flowers!
Love your craft project...
and a good thrift find is always a highlight! I enjoy shopping in thrift stores...but have to be careful to only bring home what I REALLY love...
Your ribbon flowers are very cute! Wish we had more kids thrift stores here. There is one I like to go to, but sadly most of their clothes are too small for Danica.
so cute!!!!
