Day #3 and mantel #3! Today is more of a collected look – one where you can showcase a few of your favorite things or pieces of your favorite collections. And it has a vintage feel because of the old window, blue ball jars, old grapevine wreath, old Pepsi crate, and antique scale. I used […]

Friday Frugal Finds: glassware, pillow and chevron throw

Friday Frugal Finds: the week of 50¢ finds (+link up your finds)
