FIVE DOLLAR fabulous (1)




Five bucks buys very little coffee
or gasoline these days...but here are some
creative ways to stretch it
*oh lord, without pilates*
for a lovelier outlook and nest.


$5 fading roses from the grocery store
smell just as luscious.
And five bucks bought gorgeous white semigloss for
this formerly NARSTY table!



Some new business cards!



These are from the fabulous
pixelimpress on etsy.com.



$5 will buy a dozen of these custom beauties.



Back to the grocery store...
$2 potted basil + $2 potted basil + $1 vintage planter
=  five dollar fabulous!!


Two vintage books with pretty covers
from a tag sale will set you back about $5.
they provide great texture and boost my shrimpy lamp



You can probably score more "naked books"
than what you see here for $5 at a library
book sale or yard sale.



An old $5 chippy pottery piece like this,
and I LOVE THE CHIPS!


These pre-owned slippers were less than
five bucks on eBay.



The leather J. Crew bag at top?
Pre-owned so $5 on eBay.
I know! I know! Fabulous!


This Kate Spade was also considered
"pre-owned" but shows no wear
and was just a little over $5.
eBay is a craptastically beautiful thing.

Isn't bargain shopping rewarding?

Didn't you love your exercise in
stretching today which requires
no traction or vicodin afterward?

Have some thrifty 
f i v e  d o l l a r  f a b u l o u s
ideas of your own?
Dude! Let's hear 'em.

Stay lovely.

p.s. if I've forgotten to
"follow you back" on your blog
please leave a threatening comment
here since i mean to follow everyone back!

Tag sale lovelies...

Lovely blue eggs and nest

Pretty tulips on my kitchen table.


Vintage European beer bottles
from an antique wholesaler
in a luscious shade of aqua
on vintage silver tray
bought for $10.


Parents who taught me
to see lovely no matter where
I am planted.
