Recent Frugal Finds

Here is a collection of great items I found recently at yard sales and a festival:

I LOVE this vase!

And nothing to do with it costing 50cents!

Good Year Blimp Landing!

We had a surprise visit from the GoodYear Blimp recently! I'm sure many of you
have seen it in person at sporting events. I have only seen it on tv, so this
was another once in a lifetime event!

If you've seen it in person, you probably didn't see it like this - with little
else around, few people and it only 200ft away! And remember, this is special
event #2 in one day! (The other was the Osprey Nest.)

Quite a nose-dive coming in for landing!

Osprey Bird & Nest

This is way off topic, but so worthy of posting. There is an Osprey nest nearby and I was fortunate to get these photos. I have never seen an Osprey bird or its incredibly huge nest and I may never again!

A once in a lifetime event!

Osprey nests typically are found on telephone poles and other elevated places.

Featured Designer: Diane Henkler

Isn't this fan a delight?

Seriously, why have those boring brown blades and brass casing?

Fan manufacturers could learn something here....

This colorful fan is the genius work of Interior Designer Diane Henkler. If you're not familiar with Diane's work, you MUST visit her blog, In My Own Style.

I am always so impressed with the creative ideas Diane comes up with! She is the queen of diy projects - yes, she even cuts her own wood with her table saw! And as you see below, she takes a typical diy project and adds flair...

Ribbon Nursery Mobile

Is this not the cutest. thing. ever????

Mrs. J, as she affectionately calls herself, at Modern Wivelyhood created this super cute mobile.

I love the colors and how it is facing the baby in the crib. Is it me or have you also noticed that most mobiles are not designed for the baby to look at from the crib?  This is genius! But we must give credit where it's due.... Mrs. J designed this from a Pottery Barn mobile she saw.
