For those of y’all that have ever bought a fixer upper, you already understand what I am about to tell you. For those who are even thinking about purchasing a fixer upper, there are a few important things that you need to know. So pull up your farmhouse chair, grab a pretty white Rae Dun #blessed mug full of Starbucks Anniversary blend Joe (that you only bought because it had a dang Mermaid on it) and lean in close. I’m about to tell you something really, really important.
There are things you are going to have to say no to in order to prepare/recover from unexpected expenses. Things I’ve said ” No” to this Month: Getting my hair done (it’s been since July but I’m still rocking a very unnatural balayage), going out to eat (I’ve cooked every meal this week) and fall fashion temptations (those fringe ankle boots, statement chokers, and slouchy knits are all still haunting me in my dreams).
Faux Burlap Ribbon from Publix shopping bags:
Items you will need:
- Scissors
- Publix plastic shopping bag,
- Braiding skills (fine tuned and perfected from practicing on my little ponies)
Cut three strips from a Publix bag and braid them. Tying them to a kitchen cabinet helps. I used the faux burlap ribbon as a wreath holder but it would be cute for Christmas gifts too. Simple, free, why not?
Thanks for the chat, be sure to come back for a visit! Until next time Peace ♥ & Strong Coffee ~Amber
Where did you get that wreath?!

Joni, thanks so much. These are from Target. I catch them when they are on clearance. It’s sooo much cheaper to throw them in the wash than to constantly throw paper towel away.
