“Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.”
~Calvin Coolidge
Are you like me?
Do you look for the details?
Do you see the potential and the fun in something forgotten or left behind?
For whatever reason, I truly marvel at the lost world of others. I love to scour thrift shops and find buried treasures- not of value- but of opportunity and potential.
Rewind to last summer.
My mom and I found ourselves in a Salvation Army looking for a few old shirts with which she was using to make the most adorable pillows. While there, I stumbled upon these fascinating owl bookends at the amazing price of $2.99 for the set.
These once discarded and lonely friends now have a new lavender flocking and are on their way to room 004.

Yes, please. Instant classroom decor.
