Handmade + Thrifting Treasures

The past couple of days I have been busy with a big Shop update.
And I have to tell you, there are some things I am really LOVING in this update.
Obviously I like the things I am making and selling in my own shop but this last week I have found some really good
things while out treasure hunting.
You know, those things that make your heart beat fast and you just can't believe what
you're seeing or the price tag you're seeing.
I found a couple of really good things for myself that I will share next week.

Blankets, jewelry, kitschy little books, Pyrex and lots of awesome jewelry...what else could you want?

I still have a little more to add this weekend but I'm glad that most of it is finished.
That's a lot of work right there.

So this weekend I am planning on doing a whole lot of NOTHING, which makes me really happy
because we had way too much going on this week. All of the Halloween festivities and school stuff
made for a really busy week.
What are your weekend plans?
Hope you have a great one!

DIY /// Crackers + Fancy Shoes

I thought I would share two simple little DIY projects today, and I am really kinda
stretching it to even call them "projects".
The first is these super quick + easy seasoned oyster crackers.
Eric made homemade chili last week so we had a bunch of oyster crackers left over and I thought they
would be good with soup this week, but plain old oyster crackers are not my favorite.

So here's what we did, and I have no measurements, just use your judgement.

Pour oyster crackers in a bowl and add a little olive oil, maybe a couple of teaspoons
Add a little sea salt(or regular salt) and pepper, mix up well with spatula
Add a little garlic powder and Italian seasoning, mix well
Spread out on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 200*

Yum.
Now all you need is some tomato soup!
I think I need a good recipe for homemade tomato soup. Anyone have one?

These brown Mary Jane-style shoes of mine needed just a little something extra so I thought these orange flowers would dress
them up nicely for Fall.
The flowers are actually an old pair of clip-on earrings that I found at an antique store for a dollar or two.
If you wanted to attach the flowers permanently you could hot glue them on but I wanted to be able to
take them off so I just attached them temporarily by sticking the post through the hole and bended the earring post around the strap.

Simple, cute + quick.
That's my style.
Happy Thursday, y'all.
Oh and a little shop update-- HERE.
