Magazine Bonanza!

Friday Feb 12, 2010

I was so excited to come home to these in my mailbox yesterday!  It was like Christmas!

Obviously, you can tell I’m a magazine junkie!  I will really be sad when they all eventually go out of print.  We know it’s coming, right?  Elle Decor and Town & Country are freebie subscriptions & I won’t be renewing them once they’re up.  If I come across any more free subscriptions I’ll tweet about them – so follow me on Twitter!


Did You Guess It?

Tuesday May 19, 2009

The second DIY in my outfit from yesterday is the t-shirt I was wearing.  It was a super giant over-sized tee which I made into the “Boxy Tank” from the Save This Shirt book.

Here are a couple images of the tee in progress:

It was a really easy one, again.  I won’t brag about how cool I am because I just followed the super easy instructions.  I will occasionally be doing more projects from that book & will share as I go.  I really like how this one required onlyscissors.  Easy peasy!


MissAmy’s First Blog Giveaway!

Wednesday Mar 11, 2009
Welcome to MissAmy’s first blog giveaway!  I’ve been blogging for a while & haven’t done one of these yet.  I’m so excited!  It’s a big day!
 
The lucky winner will receive three used (ahem, vintage) books about thrifting & vintage shopping.  They’re in great shape since I’m easy on my books.  Other than bending over a couple pages I’m very gentle.  (Plus passing on books makes me feel so green!)
 
All you have to do is leave your favorite thrifting tip in the comments & I will pick my absolute favorite.  It’s that easy.  I’m crossing my fingers for one I haven’t heard yet, so dig deep!  Good luck  to all of you!  You have till next Wednesday, March 18th.
 
The person who wins will then receive the books below for their reading & thifting pleasure:
 
Secondhand Chic: Finding Fabulous Fashion at Consignment, Vintage, and Thrift Shops (by Christa Weil)
The Consumer’s Guide to Vintage Clothing (by Terry McCormick)
Virtual Vintage: The Insider’s Guide to Buying and Selling Fashion Online(by Linda Lindroth and Deborah Newell Tornello)
