Oh dear! I missed a day of Nifty Thrifty posts… looks like I’ll have to play “make up” tomorrow, perhaps? hehe! Anyway, I will do today’s installment later this afternoon. For now, I hope you enjoy these links to various, inspiring spots about the web I stumbled upon this week!
Oh, and I must tell you that Bead Simple is turning out to be quite a favorite book around here; I’ve finally been poking about in my stash of bits and bobbins. I unearthed a pretty wren (I think… I’m so bad with bird species!) ornament I bought after Christmas. I thought it would make a fetching necklace pendent, but I never found a necklace suited to attach it to. So yesterday evening I pulled out some chain, a few beads I scrounged from an old rummage-sale necklace, and voila! Perfectly suited to the spring weather, don’t you think?

Wonderful Friday post as usual!
I just love the envelopes with wings! 
And I will have to tell my roommate about those headbands! She will love it!!
Have fun with your Mama today!! I’m off to hang out with mine this weekend!
Oh, and did you notice the crazy change to wordpress’s dashboard?! It will have to take me a while to get used to it!
Anyway, good luck with your thrifting!!
