Check out a video that shows off my Vintage Christmas Collage Advent Calendar: https://youtu.be/G_AEnSTbG6M
In addition to some close-ups of some of the advent cards, I’ve also posted some of my holiday crafts from this season. Merry Christmas!
Check out some ideas for Halloween decorating using thrifted decor.
On my most recent thrifting adventures at the Goodwill Outlet, I came across an epic stash of sheet music from the first part of the previous century…and some spooky decorations that are perfect for Halloween! Click here to watch the video featuring all of this week’s finds.
March was a busy, busy month but I still found time to duck in for one quick trip to the Goodwill Outlet. …and here’s what I found…
The item above was a collage I made for a friend’s birthday. Nothing says passing time like a clock face…so it seemed fitting to include a few – along with a lovely Emily Dickinson quote.
I had about 40 minutes to pop into the Goodwill outlet on Indy’s east side on Sunday and managed to find a few goodies. I spent under ten bucks this time around but feel that it is priceless anytime I come away with new info. This time it was learning about art with a big eye style. I’ve seen it before, but didn’t know it was a “thing” – nor did I realize it had quite the following that it has. I learned a little from this site http://medeiros.weebly.com/other-big-eyed-artists.html as well as one of the Facebook groups I’m in.
Out with the old? Into my shopping bag! We had to shift our Christmas celebration to the day before New Years Eve on account of bad weather on Christmas weekend. That didn’t leave me with a long time to shop…but at least I got an hour to find a few treasures. Here’s to all the great treasures that 2023 holds in store!
Found some lovely treasures at the Goodwill Outlet including a Barbie Health Center playset, a speaker from the Columbus Drive In Theater and so much more.
With a Goodwill Outlet only four miles away from my hotel, I couldn’t resist. Also, earlier this week we bought an extra suitcase as a means of conveying snacks and drinks back to our hotel from the Target across the street – so I was on a mission to fill it with one of a kind treasures. I made the trek by cab/lyft after I finished working yesterday and found a few items worthy of making the trip back to Indiana. I also met a few other treasure hunters, including one searching for all things silver, one on the prowl for cassettes to make mix tapes and another who rescues clothing to make costumes for movies.
I found a few goodies at the Goodwill Outlet this past weekend…and then spent some time turning them into some holiday decor…starting with the two pieces using art from the “On Cherry Street” early reader book.

Thanks to everyone who came out for my first garage sale at the new house! Over the course of a very warm weekend, many of my treasures found a new home – or are at least continuing in their adventure to find their forever home.
