Adventures in Thrifting Part 16: Bohemian Maxi Skirt with Suede Ankle Boots & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #719
Lacking in content last week, I decided to resurrect my Adventures in Thrifting series after putting it to rest two and a half years ago. In this randomly unscheduled series, I highlight one or a few preloved items that have made their way into my wardrobe. Many of my favorite clothing items were either purchased secondhand or preloved by someone else who passed them onto me. Because these thrifty finds are budget-friendly and environmentally-conscious, I seem to cherish them a little bit more than brand new items purchased at retail. Secondhand finds are just more special! Since last week’s revival of my Adventures in Thrifting was met with positivity and…

The Thrifty Six: European Summer
Welcome to August’s edition of The Thrifty Six! We are a group of international fashion lovers who meet once a month in our little space on the internet to share our thrifty outfits. On the third Monday of every month, we will all share an outfit based on a theme that features preloved wardrobe pieces. Shopping and reselling preloved clothing is so much better for the environment and you can find some of the best fashions in thrift or charity shops. The Thrifty Six are here not only to inspire you to shop second hand but to also get creative in your closets. Emma chose this month’s thrifty theme of European…

Adventures in Thrifting Part 15: White Floral Dress with a Raggy Scarf & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #718
Way back in the fall of 2020, I started a little blog series called Adventures in Thrifting which focused on my preloved clothing finds. The series was inspired by The Thrifty Six which was launched at the same time. While The Thrifty Six has continued to thrive for the past four years, creating preloved outfits every month with a shared theme, my Adventures in Thrifting seemed to die out after the fourteenth post in December 2021. Today I decided to resurrect my Adventures series. The driving force behind this last minute decision was based solely on the fact that I didn’t have any content planned for today’s link party post.…

10 on the 10th: August 2024-School Memories
Last month, Marsha asked us to share 10 special summer memories. But now summer is coming to a close as we head into my favorite season of all…back to school season. The time of year when I can enjoy a few hours of solitude each day. I do love having my kids around, most of the time. But summertime can be relentless as I literally have no alone time ever at all. There is always someone else in the house with me 24/7 during the summer months. As much as I love having my kids around, I really love my alone time, too. I want it. I need it. I…

My Magical Mudroom Makeover & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #717
Be forewarned…this is a very long post because this was a very long project. My magical mudroom makeover is nearly complete. I said I wasn’t going to share the transformation until it was totally finished, but the last few little details that I want to add may take some time. I will share my ideas about those final details after I share all the work that I have already done. Project Pantry was definitely a labor of love and a learning experience. Of all the room makeovers that I have completed over the last few years, this one was by far the biggest job and took the most time, about…
