Do you love to pop into your favorite thrift stores and just see stuff you cannot live without? (daily, weekly, yearly, if it’s frequent that’s a relief & hopefully will justify how often I go!) Oh good. I know, and I feel the same way. The thrill of the hunt is hard to beat, and while…

Upcycled apron from a skirt

April 28, 2014
