It's no secret that this economy is a woozy. Years ago we all made much more money, including myself. This past weekend we headed to Pennsylvania to my moms house. I had budgeted $130.00 to go shopping and then on Thursday that amount quickly lessened to $50.00. Of course at first I was upset because I was working with a small enough amount already, but then I got over it. I decided to challenge myself to see what I could get. Here are some of the items. I think I did quite well.
Here is what I came up with :
 |
| An old sugar bowl, two ball jars and a cast iron coat hook. Although it won't be used for coats. |
 |
| close up of the bird coat hook |
 |
| Close up of the covered sugar bowl |
 |
| here is where the Ball jars landed, in our laundry room |
 |
| See them on the right? |

Those four items came to $26.00, so there are still some left to go... But this next piece really can not count in the $50.00 since my mom technically bought it for me. But it was with in the price range to equal up to the $50.00 if I would have paid for it myself.

Because we have a half bath that is mixed with our washer and dryer, a few months ago I decided to embrace it as a laundry room. I redecorated a bit to make it feel more like a laundry room. I had an old wash board in my shed that we hung and the new addition matched well with it. I couldn't believe my eyes when we hung the second one on just how well it went ! Here is a million views of it in our laundry room/bathroom.
