I'm a Scrounger!

Romantic Skate Winter 2011
flowers out of sheet music

Thrift Store Angel, doilies, buttons, skates, frame, greenery and lace!

Who knew scavenging could be beautiful?
Thrifted tub (35cents), lace star (25 cents), balls (free), snowflake string ($1), berries ($2), greenery (50cents), red tree ($3 at an after christmas sale years ago), desk ($5), map of NYC (25cents), hurricane lantern (free picked at a bring-your-junk-to-swap night), string of lights ($1) buttons (50cents a jar x 6 jars=$3), and the silver and crystal garland was a gift from a very dear friend!



My lamp shade was falling apart so I made a frame from corset boning (50 cents at Thrift Store), doilies (10cents @) and pages from a dictionary ($1). My apartment was so pretty this Christmas.
