Happy New Year! I’m grateful to have this creative outlet and friends who support it by reading and engaging with my ramblings.
So let’s waste no time and get right into my ramblings this week!
I ordered a hot glue gun from Amazon, and I fear it has made me too powerful.
She’s pink and she’s perfect.
I’ve never been an arts and crafts type of gal, though I admire artsy and crafty folks so very much.
But…has this hot glue gun made me artsy and crafty? Perhaps you can be the judge.
I initially ordered the hot glue gun for my mom, actually. She needs it for a project, but once I had it in my possession, I quickly realized that the possibilities are vast.
On literal Christmas day, I took this hot glue gun into my bathroom to renovate our struggling towel hooks, because the thought had been scratching the back of my mind ever since the Amazon package arrived and I could wait no longer.
Here’s how the towel hooks looked before:
Woof. Chipped and broken.
As you’ve learned by now, I’m really into shells and have a lot of them laying around my house, so I thought: why not hot glue some shells onto these broken towel hooks?!?
So, that’s what I did:
This experience was so intoxicating, that I took my hot glue gun and shells to a picture frame I thrifted during my Denver Goodwill trip in October:

I hope the new year brings you many thrifting adventures, friends!
This year, our boys were out of town for Christmas, so Vince and I hosted a small Christmas dinner with just baby girl and our moms.
I’ve been collecting items for my Christmas tablescape for several months and am sharing here all the details of my completely thrifted, gifted and secondhand Christmas table:
-White Dinner Plates – Goodwill West Palm Beach -Green Cloth Napkins – The Nearly New Shop West Palm Beach -Napkin Rings – Thrifted and gifted from a friend -Silverware – Wedding Gifts -Milk Glass Goblets – Passed down from my mom -Candle with Glass Christmas Tree Charm – Goodwill West Palm Beach
-Taper Candles – Thrifted from Goodwill West Palm Beach or gifted -Crystal Candle Holders – Wedding Gifts -Table Runner – Goodwill West Palm Beach
The table runner originally had tassels on either end, but they fell off after I ran it through the washing machine, so I tied ornaments on either end to replace them! The vintage wreath ornaments were sourced from The Nearly New Shop West Palm Beach.
-Brass Candle Holders – Passed down from my mom -Small White & Green China Candleholders – Goodwill West Palm Beach -Glass Christmas Tree Votive Holder – Passed down from my mom -Christmas Holly Candle Holder – Goodwill West Palm Beach -Cake Stand – Garage sale find -Wooden Nativity People – The Cozy Cottage Lake Worth Beach
Now that all my Christmas gifts have gone out, I’ll also be sharing details on most of the items I thrifted for friends and family this year — stay tuned!
I hope you had a cozy Christmas full of warmth and love, friends.

Baby girl’s dress from Goodwill West Palm BeachMom bought me a pair of tassels from the Rust Market in Lake Park – they are on our end tables in our bedroom for now. This stunning handmade, one-of-a-kind dress made from a hand stitched vintage tablecloth is from a Rust Market vendor named Marcia. She doesn’t sell online/has no digital presence and more people need to know about her!! This dress is one example of many gorgeous designs. I highlighted her in my recent instagram reel – check it out! Vince and I brought a bottle of wine to dinner with friends and I popped on this vintage ornament sourced from a collection I found at Goodwill West Palm Beach.Elaine’s set from Goodwill West Palm Beach
I’ve always loved the idea of a bench at the foot of our bed, and keep my eyes peeled for one at all times while perusing the shops.
They are hard to find! I guess people tend to hang on to their benches.
Granted, I haven’t been overly serious about finding one and am only willing to pay Goodwill prices, so that narrows down my possibility of snagging the perfect bench, I guess.
Would scream if I found something like this in the shops.Or this.
During my latest Goodwill trip, my eyes fell upon two seagrass poufs. I almost passed them up, because I truly have enough furniture in my living room and loft, and couldn’t immediately think of a place for them.
I stood thinking over it for a while before moving on, though, because I knew those things were expensive and I could snag them for $20 each — a steal.
Then, I realized — I could put these at the foot of my bed in lieu of a bench! I hadn’t really seen this before, but a quick Google search confirmed that it’s a thing:
I’m pretty sure these are the poufs. I was right about the original price!
The floral pillows are from Goodwill too!
The thrifterverse provides yet again. I’m so pleased with this purchase.
Do you think the poufs work here? Or would they be better suited in a different setting?

With the weather cooling down in FL, I drove past several garage sales while out running errands over the weekend. Here’s what I found:
A basket as big as my baby and the sunglasses she’s wearing (she picked them out) — the basket was only $10!My first pair of crocs 🤪
Things I left at Goodwill:
This rattan napkin holder. Would be good for parties, but I already have several little basket caddies that I use for napkins and party flatware, so I left this for a fellow thrifter to find. Look at the prices on these Tory Burch espadrilles! I didn’t leave these by choice – they were both too small for me. 🥲These lime green sunglasses that Elaine looked FAB in.
I also attended a holiday home tour event in an historic district of West Palm Beach over the weekend, which was a blast and also inspiring.
I loved seeing how people have cared for and upgraded their old homes — my community has such great taste!
Me, my mom, and our friend Jill at the holiday home tours event.
My favorite shop keeper, Inge, from the absolute best vintage and handmade shop, Stone Button Studio, was part of the event’s holiday market, so I grabbed a few of her treasures — I can never resist!
I love collecting Inge’s hand painted stones and tucking them on shelves and desks, the same way I place my shells.I have several of her hanging charms in windows and on plants throughout my house. This table runner is so gorgeous, I can’t wait to style a tablescape with it.
I hope you’re having as much fun as I am this holiday season, friends.

I was thrilled to host Thanksgiving this year, not only because I love spending time with my family, but also because it gave me an excuse to create a holiday themed tablescape.
In recent years I’ve gotten more and more into tablescapes.
It’s another outlet for creativity, and I like pulling things from around my house to place down the middle of my dining table.
I’ve pulled framed photos, shells, and collected trinkets for my tables when hosting friends and family.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like almost anything goes for a tablescape.
You want bows? Butterflies? Bird houses? Tie and stick them onto candle holders or table runners and make it a thing!
(My husband was sure to tell me that placing miniature chairs down the middle is a little insane — I just love a miniature piece of furniture, okay?!)
This holiday, I’ve had a lot of fun thrifting specifically for my tablescapes.
Here, I’m sharing the details on where I sourced all the items for my Thanksgiving table.
Goblets – Goodwill West Palm Beach
Glasses – Home Goods (I store these separately / away from our daily use cabinets so nobody can break them, and only bring them out for guests)
Flatware – Passed down from my mother-in-law
Crystal candle holders – wedding gifts
Pink taper candles – Goodwill West Palm Beach
Beaded/wooden candle holder – Nearly New Thrift Shop West Palm Beach
Napkin rings – thrifted and gifted from a friend
Fall wreath – Goodwill West Palm Beach
Bronze candle holders – passed down from my mom
Dark blue dessert plates – Goodwill West Palm Beach
White & blue dessert plates – thrifted & gifted from my mother-in-law
Floral urn – Nearly New Shop West Palm Beach
Block print napkins – Etsy
White vessel thingy I used as a candle holder – thrifted & gifted from my mom
Glass cake stand I used as a candle holder – found at a garage sale years ago
Baby girl made this sweet centerpiece at school!
Teacup I used as a candle holder – thrifted & gifted from my mom
Dinner plates – fiestaware; I chose dark blue plates for our family’s everyday use because the color hides scratches and they look nicer longer!
It felt like a blessing to be able to make my table beautiful for friends and family to gather around — I hope your Thanksgiving was fab, too!

The weekend before Thanksgiving is “Christmas Tree Weekend” in our house.
Since our daughter was born, it has been magical to reinvigorate holiday traditions — naturally, the teenage boys are less interested these days.
We only truly began defining the elements of Christmas Tree Weekend a few years ago, really.
There aren’t many tree lots open this early, but we found one in Boynton Beach. So, the tradition is that we pile into the car and hit shuffle on our Christmas playlist for the first time.
It’s the official start of a nonstop loop of Christmas music from now ’til the new year.
Soooo excited!
Picking out the tree is always a battle between Vince and me. I want a smaller, more manageable tree, he wants a sky scraper. I think we met in the middle this year.
We take a family photo and Vince always requests the guys save a slice of tree trunk to turn into an ornament — he uses a wood burner to make them every year.
Elaine was 8 months old for her first Christmas, and picked out an ornament at the tree lot. So, we always have her pick out an ornament! These beautiful beaded ornaments support makers in a Guatemalan village.
After we lug the tree in, the Christmas music continues, we don our matching jammies, and start decorating.
As you know, I love to decorate my home, but for the holidays I don’t do much. The tree is the main event.
Pause for a quick design inspo sesh.
Elaine is three, and it’s the first time she’s truly aware of tree decorating, which made this extra special.
She was so thoughtful about each ornament she placed (and screamed for us to look each time 🤪).
Elaine loved seeing the ornaments her brothers made at her age, and I imagine she’ll love it even more as she gets older.
We added another layer to the tradition this weekend: we took a break from decorating to order Chinese food and eat it while watching a Christmas movie.
Elaine has to have ranch, even with Chinese food. 😆Just missing the middle child this year – he’ll join for upcoming traditions!Elaine comparing her hand print to her dad’s when he was her exact age.
I love that we can add layers to our traditions — they can evolve while staying the same. This is truly the best time of year.

Items I was sad to leave at Goodwill:
I don’t have any more space for lamps, but it was painful to leave this one behind! I have the perfect white shade for it too. I hope it goes to a good home! You know I love collecting baskets but this picnic basket was too big – no place for it!Great condition!Always fun thrifting with this diva
Like most people, I love natural light. It’s important for my home to have lots of windows and the blinds raised at all times of day.
I don’t like having indoor lights on when the sun is out.
I’m always going behind my housemates and flipping the lights off.
We have lots of plants in our house that benefit from all the windows and natural light, but as my husband propagates and collects more, he’s needing to hang and shelve them in darker areas; we’re running out of prime window real estate.
His solution is to install grow lights — special lighting that work just like the sun for plants.
The hanging grow light in our primary bedroom.
I know that my ideal design aesthetic can never be achieved whilst sharing space with an adult man, two teenage boys and a toddler. I know this.
But, the introduction of the grow lights was simply something I could not have foretold.
To me, they’re giving: science experiment. Nail tech lighting. Clinical.
I want soft sunlight that casts a gentle shadow as the day progresses.
A vintage lamp found at The Cozy Cottage in Lake Worth Beach transformed into a grow light set up.
The light these grow lights cast are literally disturbing to my eye. Am I being dramatic?
The lights are making a big difference for the plants they’re nourishing. One pothos in particular is growing orangey looking leaves now — I’m told this is called variegation.
This one kills me.Variegation.
This is extremely exciting for my husband, prompting him to want to install more grow lights throughout the house.
Much to my consternation.

A special thing about my home and decor is that I have a lot of items that friends have gifted to me.
One of those items is a gorgeous pine cabinet that sits in our dining area. For years, it has held my boys’ library books and…cat toys.
Yes, all those drawers had cat stuff in them. Why? Because until recently, our cat Gloria was the most spoiled girl in the house.
One of my husband Vince’s love languages is gift giving, and all the girlies in his life benefit from it, the cat being no exception.
It’s unclear whether Gloria thinks Vince is her boyfriend or father, but either way, he belongs to her and up until my daughter was born, she was in charge.
Gloria lurking at the top of the stairs
Now that our (very bossy and commanding) little girl is here, Gloria has settled into her rightful place in the pecking order, but the cabinets have remained full of toys that she’s honestly too chunky to play with. The girl gets winded after 2 minutes with a squeaky mouse, God bless her.
So, it was time to repurpose the cabinet and fill the drawers with items more appropriate for the dining area.
I’m now proud to share that I’ve organized our napkins, place mats, table cloths, napkin rings, and taper candles in the cabinet – such easy access and so satisfying!
These are actually the only drawers in my house that are organized.
I’m doing great.

Our daughter is besties with the little girl who lives across the street, and any time our families get together, the kids run around and scream and the parents drink wine.
So, inevitably, wine glasses break. When my neighbor had a birthday recently, I decided to go in search of a nice set of wine glasses — fellow thrifters will know that it’s hard to find 6 or 8 matching glasses, much less quality ones.
Last week’s girly thrift haul.
I don’t want this to jinx me or anything, but I truly feel that the thrifterverse has my back. I found six gorgeous Italian wine glasses and (bonus!) two fish-shaped stone serving dishes, glazed in a pretty blue color (wish I had taken photos).
I shined everything up, packed them in tissue paper, and gifted them.
This was the first time I’d thrifted a gift for someone who isn’t family (me, my mom, and mother-in-law all love thrifting and have a shared understanding that secondhand gifts are more than welcome).
So, I felt the need of course to disclose that I’d thrifted the items and say, “…I hope that’s not weird?”
Girly girl with her thrifted suitcase and heels. 💅🏽✨
This led me to wonder how people in general would feel about receiving a second-hand item as a gift.
I think because most people who know me understand that thrifting is *gulp* (whisper) my life, they probably wouldn’t be surprised or offended to receive a thrifted item.
It would be curated by a careful and practiced eye, of course, and cleaned prior to gifting.

The more I’ve been in the shops — which has been weekly lately (coping mechanism? these times we’re in are trying) — the more I’ve thought about how important and ideal shopping secondhand is.
First of all, the stuff is FANTASTIC. I live in a place where people give away pristine, quality, high-end pieces. But also, shopping secondhand offers a way to scratch that pesky consumerist itch without breaking the bank and harming the environment.
A short list of the benefits of thrifting:
–It’s affordable (still screaming over my $60 chair/ottoman set…will be riding that high for the foreseeable future).
–It’s sustainable: Thrifting keeps usable items out of landfills and reduces demand for new manufacturing, making it one of the easiest ways to live more sustainably.
–It’s fun: I can’t fully describe the high I experience when I find a high-end item for a steal. If I could bottle it, I’d give it to you for free.
–It supports your community: I frequent charity shops that donate a percentage or all of their proceeds to a cause.
–It keeps things interesting: Thrifted finds spark creativity and give you a reason to switch things up in your wardrobe and rearrange things around your house.
I’m considering practicing mostly thrifted gifting for the holidays this year. What do you think? Would you be skeeved to receive a thrifted gift?
Last week’s thrifted ‘fits & treasures round-up:
I took my kids to Resource Depot in West Palm Beach and, let me tell you, we had a time.
We did not buy this hat, but it felt right to wear it while we sifted through shelves and bins.
We got a nice collection of things for only $22 and explored the super cool art exhibit.

Since I found that amazing chair + ottoman set at Goodwill last week, I had to rearrange several chairs throughout the house, leading to more changes to the dining room.
That’s one of the fun things about thrifting — when you find new treasures, you have to make room for them, so you’re constantly reconfiguring your spaces and expressing creativity.
A chair that was up in our loft (found a few months ago at Goodwill, naturally), and a chair that I thrifted for our wedding in 2015, were relocated to the dining table to become host chairs (chairs at either end that are different in style from the rest).
Chair found at Goodwill a few months back. Pottery Barn pillow found at Furry Friends Thrift in Jupiter.Chair thrifted in 2015 for my wedding (maybe Faith Farm?), Pillow thrifted from a vendor at the West Palm Beach Green Market several years ago.
I often see home designers set up matching host chairs, but I think this mismatched look jives with the rest of my eclectic style.
A dear childhood friend helped me source thrifted furniture then reupholster and paint them for cocktail hour vignettes at my wedding.
Last week at Goodwill, I found these wooden wall sconces (which I’ve been manifesting!!), and they’re now flanking the lattice backdrop in our dining room.
The taper candles are also from Goodwill.
I can’t wait to light these up and add more romantic lighting to our everyday dinners.
My final dining upgrade of the week are these clip-on rattan chandelier shades! This was an impulse purchase from Amazon that I’m obsessed with. It’s a subtle change that elevates the room and integrates with surrounding decor.
I chose a shape that matches our kitchen island pendant lights.
Evolving a space with thrifted treasures brings me so much joy and creates a home that feels collected and personal. You should drop into a thrift store this week to see what inspires you!
This milk glass vase is another wedding artifact that now sits on our kitchen bar! Given to me by my mom.

I now understand why grandmas have so much stuff in their house. As I age, the compulsion to collect and display tchotchkes grows stronger and stronger.
A penchant for thrifting supports (and exacerbates) this compulsion, but I try to be measured in what I bring into my home.
I do identify as a maximalist, but I must resist hoarderdom.
I have a collection of glass yogurt jars that I pull from to fill with the new things I find.A glass terrarium displaying some of the first shells I ever collected after moving to Florida.
I’ve shared that I collect shells, but I don’t count that against my collecting limit – there’s always room for more shells! All you need is more baskets for them (reference my previous post here).
A collection of sea glass in a hand painted jar from Stone Button Studio in Northwood, West Palm Beach, on top of a collection of my husband’s favorite childhood book series.
Last year, I decided to start collecting miniature glass animals.
I don’t particularly like animals, but I was in a Jupiter thrift store one day and found a little chicken, swan, and pig in a display case.
I was instantly reminded of Sally, a family friend who was like a grandmother to me and my sister growing up. Sally had saved all her children’s toys and would let us go wild with them when we visited.
She was the type of woman who always had her house smelling of warm cookies (quintessential grandma behavior), and though she collected beautiful things, she cultivated a space relaxed enough for little children to run and play without fear of breaking things.
On a table in her dining room, Sally displayed miniature glass animals on a little cake stand with a mirrored bottom.
I remember being mesmerized by how delicate and beautiful this display was.
It was whimsical, no doubt why I was drawn to it as a child, and beautiful, and for some reason left an impression on me that has stuck all these years.
I loved Sally, and when I saw that glass chicken, swan, and pig I just had to have them.
My mom very sweetly bought them for me — in remembrance of Sally — and now I keep my eyes peeled for glass minis when I travel and thrift.
I suppose it makes sense that we collect more as we age. Collections are tied to memories, and memories tether us to the people we love.
I found a jar full of tiny paper cranes at Goodwill a few weeks ago and couldn’t resist them. I have no idea what I’ll do with all of them (🤪), but some are now displayed in this yogurt jar on my entry table. They’re just sweet!
