I love the look of the seagrass pendant lights you can find at Serena and Lily, Pottery Barn and West Elm (to a name a few places), but didn’t love the price tag.

This is my version of the DIY Dollar Tree Gumball Machine and how I made them. We are all supposed to be self-isolating and staying inside and out of stores as much as possible because of the Coronavirus. Luckily, I stocked up…

ANYHOOO, I am back with the January Thrift Store Challenge! I have been participating in these monthly Challenges with a group of very creative bloggers for a while now and it is so much fun!
