Springtime Turquoise Porch Goodies






Good Morning...
Just a quick post.
Wanted to share some of my thrifting goodies. 

I found this turquoise bistro set for $50, I was so excited. 
I have been selling and clearing out clutter on the porch and looking for something just like this.
I was sure I was going to have to buy new, but NO!
I found one. 
I also found this cute chandelier, which was a mess. I took off all the extra stuff on it. Clipped all wires, painted it and stuck some battery powered candles on it. Perfect. Just need a bet of a longer chain I think. But for now. Love. it. 

On top of this, I also found a metal chicken feeder. (Decoration for now, useful later when I talk hubby into chickens).  And this fun ceiling tile which also got a fun makeover with turquoise. 
I love spray paint. 
Lol.

Have a great day!

American Girl Lea Rainforest Hut DIY






Hello, Happy happy Tuesday.

I am finally catching up on stuff. The weather is wonderful, and I had a wonderful weekend of junking and thrifting. Something that just makes me sooo happy.

Its really nice when you actually feel ahead of the game instead of always trying to catch up.

Onward and upward. 

For now, I just had to share out fun project from this weekend. 
My youngest daughter was super excited to see all the American Girl Lea stuff while visiting the Scottsdale American Girl store a few weeks ago. 
Of course she wanted to buy, but anyone who has been there knows, probably not going to happen. Expensive.
SOOOO, we looked around the house and found some old baskets, and some hula grass and with a little fabric, and hot glue, we made our own.
I love it when a plan comes together. 

Hope you are having a fabulous day!
