Hello everyone – Happy almost summer! Abby back with another upcycle project for you all! We LOVE a zero-waste craft in this house, and today’s fits right there! The inspiration for today’s DIY was incredibly random, but am sharing because it illustrates how easy it is to find inspiration anywhere. A few weekends ago, we were driving back from a …
Hello everyone – Happy Earth Month! Abby back with another upcycle project for you all! I’ve had this project (well a variation of it that I saw on the Repeller site on Candace Marie Stewart) on my list for YEARS. It’s been sitting in the back of my head just waiting for the perfect blazer/suit to come along to update. …
Hello everyone – Happy Spring! Abby back with another upcycle project for you all! Fashion Weeks have come and gone, but the inspiration never ends! I love fringe, and fringe is a big trend for Spring/Summer 2022, so I took some inspiration from some of the shows to upcycle a dress! I love this summary of the Spring/Summer 2022 Fringe …
Hello thrifty pals – Happy February! Abby back with another upcycle project for you all! I’ve been inspired again by my pal Cassie over at Drift Market. She’s been working on an upcyle collection, which inspired me to get around to a project I’ve had in the queue for a while. I’m not sure about you all, but I have …
Hello thrifters! How’s 2022 going? Personally, I’m not sure how to answer that question, so won’t make you answer it either 🙂 Abby here, and I thought I’d ease us into a DIY with this fun and easy upcycled card and envelope project! I love making handmade cards and recently learned how to make my own envelopes, so hope you …
Happy New Year, Thrifters – I hope 2022 is off to a good start for you!

I’ve had this DIY saved for years – it’s perfect: it takes a …
Hello everyone out there in the thrifty wonderland – I hope you are doing well! Abby here again and I’ve got something that I’ve been gearing up to share with you all for the better part of this year: secondhand entertaining! I thought with the holidays coming up, and us hosting our (small) holiday get-togethers, I’d share some tips and …
Happy Spooky Season, my friends! Or if that’s not your thing, Happy Fall! If you need a last-minute (kid-friendly) Halloween decoration idea, I’ve got you covered! Abby here again, and I hope this month’s DIY brings you all as much joy as it did my 4-year-old: ghost garlands! My child has been asking to make Halloween decorations/decorate for Halloween since …
I love when a project I have on my list fits perfectly with something I’ve been wanting to share with you all! Abby here again and this month’s project falls into that category: My orchid has started to outgrow its original planter, and because orchids are notoriously finicky, I thought it would be fun to thrift a new planter at …
Feels like we are gearing up for another long winter at home, so I’ve taken to checking off projects on my list that have been taking up space in our home. I mentioned in my Floral Letter Wall Hanging post that I’ve been meaning to make a pennant banner for my youngest (similar to his brother’s) using gift bags from …
