Why is it...

that when I read blogs about other people thrift store shopping, bargain hunting, yard saling, they find the coolest stuff.

When I got do these things, I find junk.

See, I have decided to slowly change the decor of my house. Still country but throw in some shabby chic. Also I am on the prowl for pretty pink dishes. Don't get me wrong, I love my dishes. I have the entire set minus the matching silverware & glasses BUT I need some feminity in here. With 3 boys & one grown up manchild, my house can become overtaken with "male" things at anytime.

So out I went thrift shopping. I found one Carter's sleeveless orange & white romper for Cheekers. $1.99 at Goodwill. They had a BabyGap sweater in 2T which I am sure he will be wearing in the Winter for only $1.99. I passed tho. I just wasn't bowled over by it. Then at the other Goodwill I found canning jars (glass). I bought one & plan to put something in it. What? Yea, no idea.

Seriously, is it just that I have no eye for thrifty things? No creative bone in my body?
Why?
Why?
Why can I not find something to transform into something fabulous?

Is anyone out there creative enough to come with me & help me.
Show me the ropes.
Anyone?
Anyone at all?
Abbygirl, where are you when I need a thriftstore buddy?

My sister goes with me. She finds some stuff but sadly, she has the same deficient gene I do...she see's junk.

We need help!

On that note...
