Thift Haul ~ A sewing (related) vlog/blog

A quick review of a day of thrifting. I spent just over $100 USD on this haul. The purpose of most of the items is to recycle them into a fabric collage or art quilt. It is a collaborative project I am working on with a friend. I was happy to find a few pieces for myself, my hubby and one of my daughters.





















Here is a better view of the little black statement dress. 
It is so fun to thrift with a buddy! We helped each other cull through all the great finds and not overbuy. 

 Look for future posts on our adventure into the fabric collage realm. It is a learn as we go project for both of us.

Most of us who have been with Young Living know the amazing benefits of the Raindrop Technique for overall wellness and immune system support.  There is great training available to learn the technique and many videos too.  But in a pinch, this roller is a great item to have in your oily toolkit to keep your family above the wellness line.  Since we have one child with a rare disease who cannot have over the counter meds, this is our only defense. When anyone starts to dip down into illness. This roller comes out. We roll it down our spine and on the bottoms of our feet. I repeat at least 3 times a day. Usually, it only takes a day or two to be back into wellness!

Purification spray to keep the odors away!

I made Purification spray today! It is just the right thing for sneakers, teen boy rooms, refreshing throw pillows, stale rooms and so much more! Here is how to make your own. Put 1 tsp baking soda in your bottle then fill nearly full with hot water from the tap. Put on the top and shake to dissolve the baking soda. Open back up and put in 10-20 drops of purification and shake again. My bottle was 4 oz so 15 drops was just right. I have made other room sprays with this same technique and different oils. Here is where I got my great bottles! Blue Spray Bottle
