Our Mission

We are three sisters who want to share how we "live within our means" but live well! We will show you how (with a little elbow grease) you can make any found object into a treasure, cook an inexpensive meal, or bring you inspiration to enrich your life. We grew up in a large family (8 kids) with a mother who was very crafty and creative! Though our lives (aka husbands) have taken us to live in separate states, we still enjoy sharing what we are up to with each other. Now we want to share with you! We hope you enjoy our blog and we also hope it will bring you inspiration and happiness!

Framed Mason Jar

What do you do when you get married and your husband has an old nasty fake gold leafed 80's frame that he's obsessed with because it's sentimental? Well, you stick it in his office and then years later you "accidentally" drop it in the move. That's what. Kidding. Maybe. Okay, yes, It really was an accident and luckily I wasn't the one who broke it so he can't even blame me. So since there was no glass to go with the frame and it had some damage to the wood, he threw it away. I decided to re-claim it and give it a makeover. 

Now, after I painted it white and glued on some burlap and hung a mason jar in it, it looks like this:
 


Sorry I didn't take a before picture, but it looked something like this:
