About Me:: I love thrift stores. My favorite thing is to go in and look for material. From sheets that no longer have a bed to lay on or drapes that have no windows to cover, I will take those long forgotten treasures, and make them new again.
After a day of thrifting I take my finds and wash them, dry them and admire their beauty... then I slice them to pieces. The goal being a beautiful cloth grocery bag, one that you can use over and over. If I never had to use another plastic bag it would be too soon.

I see them everywhere in fences, in parks, floating down the creek in my back yard. Enough already, lets get rid of them.

Indiego.com

I love this place. It is revolving advertising, for free. You just have to post it an add to your blog, no big deal.

I am all for it, so I did it and I think I got a few hits. It can't hurt right?

Try it out if you are interested in some free ads.

Treasury West

I just snagged a treasury and it was the first time for me ever! I was just eating lunch, and I decided to hop on the computer to check out how I was doing on Etsy. Then I popped over to treasury west to see what was happening. Then I saw that the number of treasuries was down to 222, with one expiring in 36 seconds, so I waited. And sure enough the number dropped and I entered my title and loaded my items! The link is Eight Happ…
