Mommy Moments; Frame It Up

May
13

A few months ago, I was walking through a big box retail store looking for a few frames for some Pinterest inspired projects I had in mind. I finally found the frame department whereby I suddenly went into shock…sticker shock that is. Seriously, $19.99 for a basic silver 5×7 frame? Or $29.99 for an 8×10? I turned the corner to find the extremely large frames which is what I came in to purchase. Armed with my 50% off coupon, and being the math genius I am (not), I quickly calculated how much it would cost. WAY TOO MUCH. I pushed my SUV cart (you know the ones that once all your kids are piled in you can’t navigate in a straight line much less make a turn at the end of the aisle without a: injuring yourself or b: knocking over a display), got in the car and headed to Thrift Town.

My first blog post is on a thrifted charity fashion show I did recently at Lucca Restaurant benefitting the Sacramento Children’s Home. I felt honored to be part of such a wonderful fundraising event and excited to have had the opportunity to show case some of my finest thrift store finds! I searched high and low for pieces that fit the theme. What was that theme you may ask? A bright and cheery Spring lineup with a bit of a 60’s inspired twist.
