{Intentional Thrifting} Thrifted Finds

$2.99

Went on a little thrifting adventure recently and found some wonderful finds all for under $11! I always give myself  budget a budget when I go out. This time it was between $10-$12. Not bad for hitting $11! 

In addition to staying within my thrifting budget, I am always sure take my thrift list with me!

Lately I have been  on the look out for a new pair of shoes, whether for me or my wee one. Just happened to spot these nearly new Keen sneaks for just under $3.00!  I know he's going to love them once his feet get a little bigger.

Spotted this top for myself. I haven't bought much in the way of clothing for myself in a while. I am definitely due, but have had way too many other things going on to take the time. This lovely T-shirt was just something that I was looking for and looked perfect for summer. I adore the combination of fabrics and the sewn-on hankie look...kind of gives me some ideas...

Sorting mail and keeping track of bills and such has been a little chaotic for us. I have been looking for a wooden drawer set to help with this organizational issue for a while. Couldn't have found a better set! Considering whether to paint the drawers or not. I kind of like the wood color and they sort of match my decor. Do you have any thoughts?

Solo Aqui::Handmade Accents In My Home

We haven't done much in the way of decorating the home we live in currently. It's more or less in functional mode. If it works, it stays, otherwise our home is very basic which allows for a lot more room for our family to exist. That doesn't mean, however that we are devoid of those little accents that define a space. Here are just a few of the handmade accents that are tucked here and there around our home. 

Our welcome wreath I constructed out of an old sweater, vintage sheets, vintage buttons, and an old table cloth, oh and a piece of wood I found on one of my outdoor outings.

My favorite sun flower pillow. Not made by me, but was a handmade gift to me from my grandmother. Handmade gifts always carries the deepest meaning to me.

These three craft wreaths I found at a thrift store for 30 cents each. I strung them up with more of that vintage bed sheet.

Two discarded mirrors I found when we moved into our home. Nothing that a little paint, a doily, and some glue couldn't fix.

Our little recycled sweater bird ornament adorns one of our bedroom doors

A recycled Salsa jar, wrapped in wire and gifted a sparse bouquet of dried lavender makes our guest bathroom a quaint little nook.
