Alternative Shelving:: Wire and Wooden Crates

Antique wooden crates are a perfect detail to create a unique shelving option on any wall in any room. If I ever see one it will be snatched up in a second.

Make your own crates! Ana White

There are also vintage wire baskets or crates that I just love too.
I was at Crate and Barrel this evening and saw these reproductions
that are just charming.

Thifty Weekend Finds

I spent a lovely Friday night with one of my favourite people  this past weekend, my beautiful mom. She crazily drove downtown on a Friday during rush hour to pick me up! Then we hit up Hero Burger to catch a bite to eat before we thrifted the rest of the evening away. The local Sally Anne was just ok, but the Goodwill had a 50% sign out front and we found most of our finds there.


Got a few good books for Christmas present for my son. The Frog and Toad’s are classics that are just hilarious to read. Buy one for 50 cents get one free!


Containers 1/2 price! Round glass was 0.99 cents and the white creamer $1.50.
I made a lovely arrangement for my mom-in-law in it for Christmas.

Mom found this OLD school atlas. I’ve tried doing a search, but can’t really find much. I don’t know/think it’s very valuable, it’s in pretty rough shape. I bought it for the cool coloured maps inside. I might frame some for a special person for Christmas. $1.50

 
 


And this is my favourite purchase of all! Sheet music. Eeee! I’ve seen a bunch of cool craft ideas and can’t wait to do something with them. Two books for $2.00! SaaWeet!
Anyone able to find info on an old atlas for me?

What I’m Loving

If money was not a factor:
This Anthropologie dress. To die for!

Adorable Pea Coat from Ruche. Has anyone ever bought from American stores online? If so, can you please tell me how the customs works at the border into Canada. I’m always scared that I will be paying an arm and a leg for duty and, in the end the purchase will not be worth it. Any info from a brave soul who has tried it?

These boots from Brown.

These cute cardigan’s from Joe Fresh.
