Thursdays Tips & Tricks!

My friend, Ashley, recently asked me to post some of my favorite on-line retailers. But I was not sure I had enough to make a very full post. So I decided to post some of the deals and steals I have found lately.

CUTE KIDS CLIPS
We all love etsy.com and I discovered Crowe's Nest last spring. They have the cutest hair clips and so reasonable...most are under $4.

VINTAGE JEWELRY
I just discovered Silver Lining Decor on etsy.com. The owner is local to Richmond and has the neatest vintage jewelry. I purchased some great studs for $14 that I have been wearing almost daily.

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
Christmas is just around the corner and I found these Dollar Tree ornaments this week.

BOYS POLO SHIRTS
I have been having a hard time find plain polo shirts for Clyde. After an extensive google search, I found these at jcpenney.com. Use code RMNAFF10 for an extra 10% off.  They are good quality and I took them to Atlantic Embroidery Works for a $5 monogram. I purchased white, red, light blue and yellow. The yellow looks tan in the picture but it is a very soft yellow color. I am really happy with them.

LIBRARY
I don't know about you all but I get tired of reading the same books to my kids over and over again. We have gotten really into the library and go about every 2 weeks for new books and movies. Scholastic makes a bunch of great DVDs that have their book narrated by famous voices. I have also been searching on-line for decorating books then requesting the library hold them for me. They e-mail me when they are in and are waiting up front for me. So easy!  I need to do this with cookbooks for some new recipe inspiration.
