Todays Thrift Store Find

I finally got a day off from work so I decided to check out one of my local church run, second hand shops that I frequent.  I can go for weeks without finding a treasure, but I keep going because I have found so many sweet things along the way like vintage linens, lampshades and antique dishes.  Today I wasn't super excited about anything, when I spotted this floral suitcase style box for a couple bucks.  I thought it would be good storage so I got it.  When I got home I arranged a few of my treasures in it and I think it looks really sweet. 
What do you think? Do you think it was worth the couple bucks :)?  Do you have a favorite thrift store find?

Sweet Handmade Coasters

My Grandma showed me how to make these sweet little coasters several years ago.  They are super easy and fun.  I wanted these to look cottage style so I used pastel colors and floral fabric.  I will be selling these at my favorite little shop.
Do you have a sweet project to share that your Grandma taught you?

Irish Blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
