I would've love to view that site but it appears one needs to be a member. I tried to view it but got a "sign up" box. When I clicked on the "why do we need your email" link I was taken to another you must sign in and become a member box. Perhaps you can post a picture of your eggplant colored casserole once you receive it! Teresa

I remember this blog! The ideas were cool, but she repeatedly talked about how in debt she was, which I couldn't get over (but I'm a banker's daughter, so I realize I'm not the norm about that). You could buy it, paint it, then sell it on Craigslist for a few hundred.

thank you both you're too kind I actually think of opening a thread for stuff I find..something that's cool or amusing or fascinating for me yet I've no use for it or don't need it or no space or no money..but it won't always be on a shoestring..some will, some won't.. because sometimes I feel like "what a pity I want to share it". So sometimes I pin it as inspiration, but sometimes it will be gone soon and all and I'd rather share somewhere where might be useful right away

(yes the tees were 30% off and I went- and bought not tees..)) never I spend so much as in these months. Probably phychologically easier to buy stuff for somebody else..as is easier to cook for somebody else..you find inner justification where it was none..)) meanwhile Wisteria has two events-something that they call "Greetings From India"..I like grasshoper pillow cover and scalloped stool..)) (still mostly expensive stuff. at least what I liked there) and they have spend/get thing with a promo code VERYMERRY (was it also them who had "HOLLYJOLLY"? lol. ) now Pottery Barn has all sorts of things going on. Up to 30% of bedding, up to 25% on some furnishings etc. Not my favorite store btw. But. we do have (craigslisted) girl's bed from them, (craigslisted) old huge and wonderful desk from them, and totally amazing bedding that I could afford because I had their gift card. Which I'm using right now. It's as girly as can be but so gorgeous my husband expressed his wow.. it was this one: https://www.potterybarn.com/products/helena-embroidered-printed-duvet-cover-sham/?pkey=cduvet-covers-shams%7Cpatterned-duvet-covers-shams&isx=0.0.1177 (I bought it for my DD but later her room shaped into this mostly analogous color combo..)
