 Mila’s 3T fall clothes collection is growing. Most of this has been thrifted or bought at garage sales. I purchased a few super end of winter season items from Naartjie and Gymboree (my limit per item is about $7 for new…unless I absolutely have to have it. Like the iris petti-skirt. The color is [...] Since I am getting more and more into thrifting…I thought I should learn to alter my clothes. I frequently see things I like but not in the right size or things that need to be modernized a bit. And so I have had a hard time thrifting for clothes for myself.

Look how fun this is! I can’t wait to try and make it. I am on the hunt for doily’s anyway because I want them for Christmas wrapping…remember? Here is the link for the tutorial. [...] I have been obsessing about this white scalloped edge table since I first saw it on Yvestown blog. PS I obsess A LOT about the house projects Yvestown is always doing. So inspiring!

Hmmmmm…I have that [...] So I have had it in my mind to do a British Flag rug since I saw one in my Country Living magazine (look at pic 5 of 8). And then Miss Mustard Seed did a Union Jack dresser.
