B is for Bracelet


49 cents
Actually
 with my five dollar thrift store coupon,
this little find was 
free.

It lead a good life...
as a napkin holder
but....


It was destined for something more!

A new "foundation"...


A new "purpose"...


Some new ......


 bling!


I love when old things find....


a new life!

Disclaimer:
I love to collect and wear bracelets but
until the creation of this thrifty holder
I could not find a system that allowed for
storage but also provided a way for me to
have easy viewablity  and  accessibility.
I have been using this holder for months
and just love it! 

I am linking to the following parties:

Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch
Thrifty Treasures at Southern Hospitality
Making Space Monday at Debt Free Mommy

Thank you ladies for hosting such great parties!

Back and Busy


What can I say?...
Vacation was wonderful!


Sunsets that showed off God's magnificent handiwork!




Treats out with cousins!


Photos at the beach!


 Zac did some fishing...
 he even caught a small shark!


We all enjoyed playing in the ocean!
(Ignoring that Zac caught a small shark!)


Hours of body boarding...


And jumping waves!


And almost as many hours combing the sand for....


these!  
Can you find the sharks tooth!


We are so thankful to have spent this time at the
beach with my parents, sister and her family!


Now we are home,
busy getting ready for
 "back to school!"


But still dreaming of the beach!
