- Once and a great while I will go to goodwill. I think that I got my kitchen plates and stuff there for college. I don't really buy much new stuff though, and I get a great deal of my stuff from family as far as furniture and household things. Perhaps this might seem bad but I just don't really like buying things old because I can never find anything that I like or want plus if my family will give it to me for free why would I spend money? Once in a great while ill find something that I do like and Im fine with purchasing it.
Freeze Frame- I like picture frames so this caught my attention. Pillows- I think that this is something that my mom would really like and I could make for her. Fruit Bowl- I thought that this looked kind of cool and new. It would actually fit in with our decor in the apartment too I think.
Brier- I also found the freeze frame to be really cool. I even posted it in my blog also! very cool fruit bowl, maybe you should make that for our apartment ;)
ReplyDeleteI think that using things after your family is done with them is just as good as junking. I like the fruit bowl too.
ReplyDeletelove the pillows!! they don't look as cozy as some, but they sure are cute and would be great decorations!
ReplyDeleteIt is always smart to use things that your parents have if they are offering them up! I take advantage of that too, because really why should we buy things if we have them already but they are not getting used. I really like fruit bowl idea too. I think it would be really easy to create something like that.
ReplyDeleteI think my mom would like those pillows as well! I like the ones made with an old potato sack. They might not be very comfortable to sleep on though!
ReplyDeleteThat fruit bowl does look very fun and easy to find. Anything like that can become a fruit bowl.
