Thrifty Shopping, and Pretty in Pink

Remember these?

Made out of these mini match boxes?
Well, I tried some pink ones.

What do you think?
How I did it:
These are made herbal tea bags dyed pink
with thinned down food coloring.
Short tutorial on how I did it here.


My thrifty Treasures today:

Sweet little pink cupboard,
and some little vintage baby shoes, with socks!!

Now turn on your imagination for this one,
and click so you can better see it.
This will soon be a shabby white bird nest holder!
(or, maybe I'll save it for next Easter.)

Love this frame!
It will probably become a chalk board.
It is a greenish color.
I like the color, but think I would like it shabby white better.
What do you think?
Oh, not sure what I will do with the little black tin pitcher.
Just liked it.

And a cradle. I can never resist a cradle.

Our son turned 40 the 17th.
Tonight was our birthday dinner for him.
His sister had a great idea, and we helped pay for it.
Bunches of 40 things.
She is so very creative, and not much spent on some of this.

Jelly Bean "teeth removers"

M & M's daily vitamins

40 pistachios- tough nuts to crack.

40 prunes (they gave these to me!!) =0/

40 jokes about turning 40

And the gift really was these 40 scratch it tickets.
(not a usual purchase, but perfect for him.)

And you can do this for any age.
Didn't she do a great job?

And here are my thrifty treasures this week.
A box of goodies.
Lets see what is in here:
An assortment of kitchen goodies.
