Deal Find Fridays

May 24th, 2013

Welcome to Deal Find Fridays! One of my favorite times of the week to show you what I have been finding thrift-storing it. I love finding good deals, it is like a treasure hunt. You can find lots of amazing clothes that are in like new condition for so much less than retail.

The picture doesn’t do this adorable sleeveless blouse justice. It is from Ann Taylor and has a tie that goes around the waist. It is adorable on!

Now, I do realize this is a sweater but I do schedule these posts ahead of time so I am able to wear it but this is an adorable maroon sweater. I ended up buying it for 1/2 off the price ($3 instead of $6) because it was one of the colors of the day. Good deal I think

Easy to Make Message Board

May 22nd, 2013

So I had a pretty plain message board that I wanted to make look a little nicer and hang in my room. I figured with some fabric, glue gun, and the message board I could make that happen. I like what I came up with.

Pancake tends to think that when I am about to do something with fabric that is her cue to lie on top of the fabric.

Here is the board and the fabric before I started working.

I pulled the board apart to be able to wrap the fabric around the cork.

I used a glue gun to glue the fabric to the cork. I may have burned myself twice…. Apparently I didn’t take any pictures after this (maybe because I burned myself? haha) but once I trimmed the backs I re-glued the sides onto the board with the glue gun.

Here is the finished board. It is pretty small but I have it hung behind my door and love how it looks!
