Treasure

I used to have a Cabbage Patch Kids soundtrack (yes, it was AWESOME) and there was one song called the Junk Yard Gang and the song lyrics were, "One kid's trash is another kids's treasure."

Now I know you have gained huge respect for me solely based on my Cabbage Patch Kids cd, but you will also be amazed to know I found a fantastic set of drawers for $4 from the thrift store... you read that right. I did type $4. Well actually it ended up costing me $5 because I had help lifting it into my car from a lovely older man volunteering. It all goes to the hospital. So as Michael Scott would say... it was a win win win (I got a new dresser, it was cheap, the money went to a good cause).

Anyways, Mark and I needed an extra set of drawers because one dresser is not quite enough for both of us. I really didn't feel like going to IKEA and spending at least $40. Not that I don't love IKEA, I just wasn't into spending. I love what I found and I am so glad I dragged Nicola to the thrift store that day!

I just love it!

My new dresser got me in the crafty spirit. I took some old fashion sticky notes and put them on my candles and filled up a decorative jar with some buttons.

I encourage everyone to go to the thrift store first. You may be pleasantly surprised... cue the Cabbage Patch Kids...
