Thrift store finds

Good morning hope you are having a nice mother's day with your moms/ or your kids! I recently went to some thrift stores with my friend Ashleigh to help her find stuff for her wedding!! In the process of looking for her I found somethings that I just couldn't live without.

 These baskets are metal and from target for 5.00 each... not sure where i'm going to use them yet, but I couldn't leave them there.

 Found a great pair of Gap skinny jeans at Savers for only $4.99+ I got 20% off

 Found this cute creamer holder that matches my sugar holder $1.99

 I was so excited to find this, I'm pretty sure that my aunt has this... this is going to look so cool hanging on the wall $3.99

the little tray i's going to use to put jewelry on the big one not sure maybe hang it on the wall.

Small: $.99

Big: 2.00

I have a DIY to put up tomorrow, I would put it up today... but it is a graduation gift, I don't want them to see it yet.

before & after

ok so I bought this dress awhile ago (like 8 months). It was way to big in the waist and really long... but I could see the potential in it and it was only $3.99 so really I didn't have much to lose! 

 

 BEFORE...

AFTER...

what I did... 1. took the top of the dress and the bottom of the dress apart.  2. I bought round cord elastic, and added it to the waist. 3. put the two pieces back together.... then I let it sit for a month or two. 4. cut 4 inches of the bottom and then made an inch hem line. 5. took the cut hem line and made a bow out of it, but just tying it in a knot. 

I'm super excited about this... I think it turned out pretty good!

What do you guys think of it?

Hope you enjoy
