Thrift Share Monday - July 30

Am I being ungrateful, by this weeks finds?  I did find some good stuff, but my estate sale week started early,  AND I ventured slightly out of town therefore had high hopes of scoring things outside from my usual haunts, but I did not end up with a car full of junk with as many places I went to. Here's what I scored. Tuesday I went to the rare, odd mid-week estate sale (not ran by a company). ...

My Craft Space. Part 2

Last week I shared with you a portion of my craft space, Part 1.  It was terribly disarrayed, but eventually it got neatly organized.  Yay me! My next space I was to tackle was my dresser, a catch all space, that really needed clearing.  At one point it held fabric on it, but that eventually all got moved to my desk.  Then the dresser got lost under interfacing, thrifted goods,...

Do you want to trade, my vintage sheet FQs for your solids?

 Ok, I'm being lazy or cheap, maybe both.  It's also that I'm indecisive on making decisions and I get stuck on just what I like, but I do know one thing.  I need solid colored fabrics, and a variety of colors at that.  So I'm wondering if there are any fabric hoarders lovers out there that would like to add something different to their stash.  Would anyone like to trade with...

Thrift Share Monday - July 23

Dang!  I got some extremely fab vintage items this weekend, and probably my most unusual find/purchase(doubt I'll ever top it). I really hate it when I find super cute stuff because I tend to not want to part with it, however, 75% of the reason why I thrift is in hopes to turn my finds around into a profit.  Ugh! Look, how can I part with these?  They are milk glass spice jars, and...

Do you want to test/try a headband? Free

So, I've whipped up some headbands that I'm thinking about selling at next months Austin Craft Riots Summer Show(yeah I know, I like crunch time).  I got the design from a head band I bought at the mall, and even though  they seem to fit like the one I bought I want some other opinions on the fit. I love the way headbands look on other people, but I don't wear them, on me it doesn't seem...

My Craft Space. Who's the Messiest? - Part 1

Ok.  I'm hoping if I talk about this on the web, then maybe...just maybe I'll accomplish my organizing goal. 15 piece puzzle I've been battling with my craft space/bed room for months(ok maybe years).  From the hard long task of rearranging furniture in my room, like a 15 piece puzzle, to moving furniture in and out of my room.  This might sound easier than it is, but it's not. ...

Thrift Share Monday- July 16

Don't you love buying an item at a thrift store, estate, or garage sale, and later find it's mate, or what makes your item complete?  I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to thrifting don't not buy something because it's not a complete item, or set, or just one wouldn't work for you.  I've had done this plenty of times and days, weeks or months later bump into it's set or mate,...
