I'm back everyone! At least for one post! I still have so much catching up to do but it's probably going to take a while because all of my pictures are on different computers and it's just a mess. But, the good news is...Greg got me a new laptop that is virus free! So now I'll, hopefully, be able to blog more often than I have in the last six months!

Things in North Carolina are wonderful! The weather is warming up and I've been able to spend tons of time outside gardening and crafting!

In fact, I've spent the entire day spray painting, recovering, sewing, etc! I'm so excited about my new decorations!

I found a new thrift store, Habitat for Humanity Restore. They have them all over the country and I'm lucky enough to have one five minutes away!

Here are some before and after pictures for your enjoyment!

Some hideous easter eggs on sale at the Hobby Lobby


Aaaahhh...the wonders of a fresh coat of paint!


Wreath: $4.99 Letter: $1.49 Ribbon: $1.99


Finished Product: Fabulous! (at least I think so)


And my favorite project of the day...
I found this wonderful treasure at the Restore for $10!


I gave it a couple of coats of glossy black spray paint...


...recovered the vinyl seat with some burlap that I already had...


...and made a quick and easy throw pillow (leftover fabric again) to finish it off!


And the best part of all...I didn't have to promise my first born to get it all from The Pottery Barn!

Coming up next time...

*Photo season is here and I've been practicing!
