I love my Ruffled Burlap Pennant, but wanted to make something kind of Fall-ish and festive for this season. I thought Candy Corn would be fun since it's the same shape as a pennant and reminds me of Fall. I bought some cotton material in orange and yellow and then used some left over canvas from my Halloween Pennant Pillows for the fabric. Supplies: Orange, yellow and white fabric … [Read more...]

My bathroom is done - yay! I am so excited. I looked around everywhere for a chandelier and was really sad that all of the ones I found were over $100. So I finally put an add on Freecycle. The next day I had two people that had chandeliers for me for FREE! The one I ended up putting in the bathroom is vintage. The woman who gave it to me said that it's from the 1940's. She is remodeling the house … [Read more...]
