Pottery Barn Stockings


I have been dreaming of a Christmas with nice personalized stockings for our entire family. We have put off getting them for several years now, but this year I am prepared.

I came across a site called Uglysofa.com when I was Googling my children's name for personalized items. Turns out they have Pottery Barn (Brand X) stockings that have already been monogrammed by the truckload. I've been stalking their site for weeks hoping that my children's out of the ordinary names would be added. And sure enough, as of tonight, we have an entire set of stockings for our family.

Repurposing



I bought this cute shirt at Goodwill, but the baby was crying so I didn't have a chance to try it on. When I got home it didn't fit, so I decided to re-purpose it into a boutique style outfit for my daughter. This one shirt was enough fabric for a pair of ruffle pants, embellished shirt, and rosette bow. I still have a little bit left to make something for the baby to coordinate.

Wooden Model Ship


This wooden model ship was bought by my husband on Shopgoodwill.com. It was originally going to be a gift to his grandfather, but instead became part of our Navy motif in our living room. We don't know much about it, but found another just like it being sold by an art gallery on Ebay.

Paid: $26 + shipping= $40
Value: $415.00

Huffy Princess Bike


My husband also came home with this 16" Huffy Princess bike brand new in the box with a Target invoice attached.
