Guess what! It’s a giveaway day today and the prize for our contest is amazing!
Do you know what a consignment shop is? They are pretty awesome actually! It is a store (this one is online) where you can buy or sell gently used or new clothing.What makes these resale stores so great is that you can find designer name clothing for less than half the price that you would pay retail!
So who want’s to go shopping completly for free?

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.
Is it fall yet? It is seriously still in the 90s here! On top of that we don’t have any AC in our house. Not that I’m complaining…
Summer is definitely my favorite time of year but this heat! Anyways…
It may still be in the 90s but I am craving the fall flavors and this weeks link party features are satisfying my fall needs. Make sure to check out some of these awesome posts and if you are a blogger make sure to leave links to your latest and greatest posts!
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!

Party Rules:
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!
Fall is in the air! Or is it? Not here! Today our temps got all the way up to 104! Are you kidding me! And guys, we do not have air conditioning in our house! This is adding new meaning to the phrase “hot mess!” Not pretty…
Well, I hear that in other parts of the country the temps are starting to cool down. As much of a summer girl that I am, I admit that I am looking forward to some cooler weather and comfy cute clothes.
Speaking of comfy… don’t forget about all of the delicious comfort foods that come with fall! Who else is ready!?
