… always another’s thrifty treasure?
This is a bless their heart post if there ever was one …
I mean, we’ve all seen craft projects that have gone horribly wrong.
We’ve all seen theme décor that goes a bit too … well … themey.
But when I drove down the alley earlier this week and this caught my eye …
… I thought bless her (or his) heart.
I mean, they did make a commitment, right?
Those are a lot of party store beads wrapped around there. And the black and white check on the base ties it all together, right?
Screams … okay, more like SCREAMS … Mardi Gras.
Now, if this landed in the alley some time around the Mardi Gras season I could’ve chalked it up to a Mardi Gras party. You know, a one-time decoration by a couple of frat-guy-apartment-dwellers living across the alley …
But it showed up this week. Which has me thinking it’s not a theme party decoration. But a theme room centerpiece.
And while I can only speculate and wonder about the how and the where … and the why
I can tell you for 100% sure that this particular “treasure” will not become the newest “thrifty treasure” in my home.
Bless her … or his … Mardi-Gras-loving heart!
Hi there! My name is Linda and I’m a Jersey-born-and-bred Midwestern transplant who lives in Chicago with my husband and two children. We've lived in our home since 1995 and over the years our style has changed and evolved. I wouldn't call my home a work-in-progress -- more like a rework-in-progress as I refresh and remodel things around here ... one room at a time.
I’ve actually seen this done but wrapped around a chandelier and it looked amazing! This, not so much!
Keep checking that alley – at least you know it’s good for a chuckle every now and then!

Over the top…what a find!
We are creative beings, aren’t we?
That’s about all I can say in response to this one…
Oh…..wow……I think my hands would have been shaking too hard to take a picture.
Thanks for the great idea for Mardi Gras next year
Well, it certainly may not be many people’s “cup of tea”…but it certainly made you stop and “take note”…on how you could make it better!!…or not!!…:)
Wonder how many times someone had to flash to get all those necklaces?
~Bliss~
Oh my! Oh my! It just might work on Fat Tuesday but I don’t know????
I am speechless…
