A 4 Dollar Investment

Hello Friends,
I hope everyone has had a good week! As usual I try to make my rounds AT LEAST 2 times a week at my local thrift store just for fun treasures. This last week I found a bag of old Oliver and McCormick tractor/farm items for 4 dollars. Bellow is a picture of everything in the bag! Well, I finally got around to putting it on eBay and guess how much I made? $300.00! Not bad for a $4.00 investment!


Today I got up early (which was hard because I was up all night at a friends house that also happens to be Brasilian so we always have way to much fun together! :) ) and my husband and I went to about 3 estate sales. I got a couple good items that will eventually go either in the Etsy store or my new online Boutique Little Miss Heirlooms.

Little Miss Heirlooms is coming along. It is a LOT of work setting it up! I am also trying to figure out shipping costs but I'm having a blast adding things I love to the shop!

This month is sure to be very busy for me because Im not only going to try to get the shop done I have a huge party planned for Christian! My infomouse Vintage Circus party!

I am planning lots of bright colored pom poms hanging from the house where the christmas lights hooks are.

They are made out of tissue and you can purchase them online on etsy ( Party Poms) or make them yourself (which is what I did!) . I got the instructions from good old Martha here.

10 PartyPoms - choose your colors
I'll take some pictures of more of the decorations and ticket booth we made out of a refrigerator box. I love how it turned out!

Untill tomarrow my friends!!!
