The Hunter household is on a budget freeze. Not just a little budget chill, a frigid freeze, I tell you. Like Antarctica-in-a-blizzard-floating-on-an -iceberg-think-I-just-saw-a-polar-bear type of budget freeze. Therefore anything you see me do from here until….hmmmm….new job for hubby? I go back to work full-time? kingdom come? will be from “shopping the house”.
Below is a picture of my front porch. I love it. It fulfills my black and green whimsies and showcases my no-sew pillows. But my front door was purpley-brown and needed a makeover. It also needed a wreath. The door was an easy fix with some black paint I had in the basement. The wreath? Well…I thought that was just going to have to wait until kingdom come.
However, I found this sad little creature below buried under some baby toys in the basement. No, not my toe, although it’s a sad creature in need of a pedicure and has definitely spent it’s fair share of time buried under toys! The wreath was the first I ever purchased around 6 years ago, and I almost tossed it in the trash.
But wait…what if we take this $.25 (yes!) letter H that I bought awhile back at the Christmas Tree Shop….
…put some cute black/white gingham paper on it and hang it with a coordinating ribbon?
Much better! Maybe shopping from the house isn’t so bad after all. Especially if your house is well stocked in craft supplies :).

What a great example you are to shop in your house and not be embittered by the financial decrease. God will so honor that.
very lovely! You may need to get tight on finances more often! lol
