Friday Rewind and a Bathroom Flasher

Hi! Thanks for dropping by today. I am glad you are here. Did you happen to have a chance to stop in on some of the wonderful Thrifty Thursday contributors from yesterday? There were so many treasures, great ideas, suggestions. I hope you will indulge me, I wanted to share a few of my favorite Thrifty Thursday post from yesterday.

Vintage Swampgirl really needs to open her own Etsy shop. Check out the dresses she made:

She is also churning out some hot jewelry on a budget. These bib necklaces are all the rage right now:

Stephanie Lynn of Under the Table and Dreaming shared the most amazing homemade Mother's Day gift.

I would LOVE this. And use this! And I am going to make this! Shephanie Lynn always has the best projects and ideas. Never at a loss.....Thanks Steph!

You know I love some catalog inspiration. So does the adorable Sarah of Someday Crafts.
 Love her.
She saw some gorgeous mirrors featured in catalogs, but the pricing.....just plain silly.

Ballard Designs Mirror: $139.00

Anthropologie Antiqued Mirrors: $695.00

"WHAT?" You ask. I know. It's not a infamous artist original piece. It's a mirror made to look fabulously aged and old. But at that price...
Well Sarah made it easy and cheap. (Smiles big)
Her {antiqued & awesome} Mirror: $15.50

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I like Sarah's version better.
 
Will you just look at Lisa of Pickles and Cheese flower pots....

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 This was just a few of her spraypainted pots made perfect. Click over to see them all. I got to tell you, I will be painting some flower pots this weekend (but only after I visit the Buck Creek Festival). Thanks Lisa. I am such a wannabe.
Jane at Finding Fabulous gave her outdoor table a redo with a can of cheap spray paint. You will not believe the before and after. Gorgeous done on dimes!

 





















This is one of my favorite post. Amy of Money4ThisNot That Shared her daughter's prom dress with accessories on a budget. I have to tell you, as a photographer I am shocked, really SHOCKED at what parents spend on their child's prom dress. Something most kids wear once. I would have a hard time spending it on a wedding dress, much less a prom dress. I think of how far that money could go in not only my life....but most notably in the life of someone who really has a need. I mean a real need.
Amy called the bluff of parents everywhere, she outfitted her daughter in a gorgeous stylish  high style fashionable dress.....and the accessories to go with it for
 
(drum roll)
 
Twenty Four bucks.
Who knew $24.00 could look this glamorous!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I end my Thrifty Thursday recap with that. Amy, you are AMAZING!
Click on Amy's blog and she'll show you HOW she did it.
And Amy....your daughter...........GORGEOUS. And what a precious prom couple.
 
PS Amy's daughter is getting double wear out of this dress. (Standing "O")
 
Before I go and enjoy a weekend at my hometown's BUCK CREEK FESTIVAL
