My first year with Pennies Into Pearls is in the books and it has been SO much fun! Starting this blog has been a lot of work but it has been even more fun than I thought it would be!
I wish I could list every single post I have created for you because I put a lot of thought into every word that I share. I hope that they provide useful information to help you save money and live fabulous at the same time!
You can never have enough free pallet wood, in my opinion. If I could have an entire garage or some sort of storage area where I could just fill it with pallets, that would be amazing!
When I very first started working with pallet wood I ran into a question that I think a few of you might be wondering yourself, “where to get free pallets?”
What is super cute? Super fashionable. Can freshen up your winter wardrobe in seconds and can be created in less than 10 minutes?
You don’t even need to be a professional seamstress! If you have a sewing machine handy and are able to sew a straight line, then you are in business!
What if I told you, all it would cost you is about $2? Doesn’t this little DIY project just keep sounding better and better! Are you ready to get started yet?
If the thought of sewing makes you a little anxious don’t worry! I am by no means anything near resembling a seamstress. I can use a sewing machine for a straight line and that about it and the good news is that’s about all you need to know for this DIY infinity scarf project!

Have you every tried staining a piece of furniture before? The entire idea of how to stain wood furniture was very intimidating for me. Painting, not as much. But the idea of using something as permanent as a stain frightened me a bit.
I am here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be scary! It’s a great way to add life to an old piece of furniture and may actually be a lot easier then painting!
After finding this adorable little table for FREE online I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. The decision was made to learn how to stain wood furniture so I could use an outdoor stain and put the cute thing on my teeny tiny front porch.
I am here today to share with you what I learned on how to stain wood furniture. In an effort to help you avoid a few mistakes I made and save you the time.

So think about the possibilities! Do you have a favorite celebrity? Maybe a favorite blogger perhaps… Wink wink. Well you can hop on when you see that this person is live and have a real-time conversation, all while getting their latest tips or just maybe for a quick chat.
So let’s have a craft party on Periscope! Let me explain a little more but at the end of this post I’m going to give you the supplies list for October 7th’s craft party!
I know I have told you before but I just love going thrift store shopping on Mondays! If I miss a Monday I get a little depressed. Just ask my hubby! Well… this last trip was one of those golden thrift store shopping trips! I found a large set of cooking dishes, some cute books for the kiddos, a couple vintage books for a different project, and this cute little thing!
I didn’t even know I needed it but as soon as I saw it sitting all by itself I knew just where I was going to put it! Our living room has a nice big comfy chair but no end table anywhere nearby but not a lot of space for one. So this cutie was the perfect solution!
Let me first start off by saying that because I have already done this project, I am going to be saving you a lot of time! I thought this project was going to be a quick 10 minute (tops) project.
Well, it will be for you but only because I have a little tip for you. You are going to need to predrill the holes in the hose clamps before you use a screw. I’ll explain in more detail in a sec.
Are you in love with mason jars as much as I am? I thought that I might be over them by now… nope, still in love! There is something so timeless about them. Mason jars will most likely always be present in my homes décor my entire life!
