Thrifty Finds

We stopped by Good*Will in between Dr. visits. It was HOT!! The air was out and it was 106 outside....imagine inside! Ughhh

I shopped quickly...very quickly. This is my haul!
Terrycloth queen bedspread...$15
White/pink flower shawl...$3
Glass canister set...$6 (BEFORE)
Flag metal water bucket...$3
Two frames...$1.50
ME tin with note cards...$1

Love the detail on the frames. Plan on painting white and distressing a little or a Robin's Egg Blue.

Canister set AFTER!!!
I decoupaged the wooden part and plan on using
this in my classroom to hold prizes.

Not too bad for a quick...and SwEaTy...shopping spree!

Chalkboard Change

Just a little change on my kitchen chalkboard. Love the cute summer feeling it gives!

Saturday, July 2, 2011

My wonderful daughter bought this magazine for me! She works at a local book/movie/music/coffee shop store and gets a discount!

My sister was looking through it and said, "Diana, they copied you!!" I didn't understand what she meant until I looked at the magazine.
***Now, I KNOW they didn't copy me but it is really cool to see the same ideas in a magazine!

THEIRS....

MINE.... (whited out my address)

Theirs............ table with chalkboard top and white legs.
Also, notice the "Blue Ribbon Foods" crate. That pic is next.

MINE.....you have to look closely. I am preparing 6 tables for my classroom. My amazing, wonderful ,fabulous, principal allowed me to try doing away with desks and go with kitchen tables. Hopefully, this will allow for a closer knit class feeling!! HoPeFuLlY!!!

MINE....see?!?!?!? Isn't that weird??!?!?!!

Theirs............ message frames.

Mine...........an old window turned calendar. VITAL to a busy family!

Theirs...........fabric in crochet hoops.

Mine...........red polka dot hoop in my classroom.

Theirs.........pretty pink bicycle basket.

Mine..........pretty white bicycle basket holding my baby blankets and my baby's blankies.

Theirs.........look for the vintage metal bread box.

Mine.........vintage bread box without "bread" written on it but that is my next step.

I LOVE seeing my IdEaS in a magazine.
