Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Stripes
Between The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and its predecessor The Bad Buy Book, Nancy and I have been joining together on a monthly basis for nearly five years with approximately 50 different style themes combined between the two series. Yet with 50 different themes, we somehow never featured that ever classic print of Stripes. Well, it’s better late than never and I assume that you all have something striped that you can share with us this month…whether it was a good buy or a bad buy that you will bid good-bye to, we want you to share it with us! What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? It is a monthly series…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Tie Dye & Link Up On the Edge #253
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series that I co-host with Nancy where you can choose whether you want to share a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to, previously known as a Bad Buy).

Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye. The theme for July is Tie Dye, one of…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Tie Dye & Link Up On the Edge #251
One of summer’s hottest trends right now is tie dye. While my hippie soul has always loved tie dye, there was a time when the only tie dye garments you could get were the ones that you dyed yourself at home. And I am not one to be dying anything other than my hair at home. Because I make a huge mess when I start playing around with things of this nature. So I was very happy when tie dye came back into the popular fashion scene making it more easily attainable for un-crafty people like me. With tie dye trending in the most colorful way this summer, Nancy and…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Nautical & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #225
For this month’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, Nancy and I have chosen Nautical as the theme. Since June really kicks off the summertime in the northern hemisphere, we thought it would be fun to share any of your favorite (or least favorite) outfits or wardrobe pieces that feature aquatic or maritime themes, anything that makes you feel like you are soaking in the warm sunshine near the sea. And while these types of prints do have a more summery feel, we don’t want to leave out our friends in the southern hemisphere either. Lots of maritime towns are in very cold climates so style this theme in whatever way suits you.…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Tulle & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #221
It has been a super crazy busy weekend so I never managed to get around to doing any of my blogging things. So let me take this moment to remind you all that it is time again to send in your photos for the Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. This month we are looking for your favorite (or least favorite) things crafted from Tulle. But before we get there, let’s first quickly examine the nature of tulle. Tulle is a stiff, lightweight, netted fabric that can be made from various fibers such as polyester, rayon, silk, or nylon with polyester being the most common fiber used. Tulle is mostly used for veils,…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Florals
“Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.” Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada It is one of the best known lines from any fashion inspired movie ever. And it has inspired this month’s theme for The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. As I am typing this post, however, I am sitting in wait watching a giant storm move our way that is threatening to dump 5-10 inches (12-25 cm) of snow on us. How’s that for an April Fool’s joke played by Mother Nature?! So let me get started by flipping my hair and rolling my eyes at Ms. Nature while I find some fresh springy florals to share with you. Eventually the ground will…
