Two For The Calender

>> Friday, February 26, 2010 – Nice and Thrifty

I found this shop on etsy...which led me to this website....which led me to this little tidbit of information:

Best news is...they are located in Central Iowa...yeah!

The Whatcheer Flea Market is the other one on my calender!

I've never been to the Old Crow Market before, so I can't tell you what to expect for prices.

The Whatcheer Flea Market prices fall here:

Cheapest to Most Expensive:

Garage Sales
Thrift Stores
Consignment Shops
Flea Markets

Flea Markets are usually the most expensive out of the 4...but you have so much to pick from and lots and lots of very unique items!

Sunshine...

>> – A Nice Little Thing, Art on The Cheap

Oh how I love this print...

the colors...

the words...

but mostly the fact that it reminds me of my dad...sunshine is the nickname he gave me as a little girl...and he still calls me it today!

Dress The Walls

>> Thursday, February 25, 2010 – Art on The Cheap, Decorating

Wallpaper or fabric attached to a frame.

(look for cheap frames at the thrift store and paint them the same color)

Big style for little money!

Bowling Birthday Invites

Just came across these invites, and I thought they would be perfect for a funky sock bowling party!

(I would probably opt out of a picture like that for an invitation...but you can do whatever!)

Another Birthday Party

>> – Birthday

I came across this picture recently:

The story behind it was this:

a little girl (I think a 7 year old) was having a birthday....she wanted to go bowling. Each of the guests received an invite and a funky pair of knee socks. Each girl coordinated her outfit for the party with the knee socks she received (and wore bowling).

I love this idea! My oldest will turn 9 (wow!) on her next birthday. She's outgrowing the little girl birthday themes...so my eyes are always open for creative ideas like this!
