If you loved #parableofthesower you will love the sequel, #parableofthetalents A small community is trying to survive the crumbling society around them. This is a dark dystopian book but #octaviabutler writes so well you get drawn in & root for these characters. #whatimreadingnow #booksky

Make broth from your veggie scraps. #cooking #broth

If you like thrifting, you would love a clothes swap. Get together and swap what you don’t want anymore for things you can wear. Why? Swaps are #sustainable #ethical #secondhand #fun #free

I set out clothes for the week because I wanted to get out the door faster in the mornings. Here is this past week’s outfits. #ootd #ootw #whatamigonnawear #outfits

A childhood friend has died on a ship & his family is suspicious about the cause. Someone targeted him, but why? Stuart uses his IT skills to investigate. I found this book by accident and it is fabulous. #booksky #manoverboard #jajance

This is a story about rich $ famous people being awful. The vacation resort club is full of people with bad motives $ selfish behavior. People are going to die, you won’t feel bad for any of them. 😒#booksky #theclub #elleryloyd

Gordon is in another dimension. 🫩 He doesn’t enjoy the fire crackers & fire works. #highdog #dogsky

I went to an outdoor flea market- yard sale event in Virginia. It was a charity benefit for at risk youth and there was tons of stuff. I loved it and then I went out for breakfast. 🥞 🍳 🧇 #sustainable #ethical #secondhand #fun @Mobile Hope west

Like Jane Austen? You might like this book. Set in the same time period. Kitty/eldest sister, financially desperate, & looking for a husband that can keep her & her sisters safe. She’s on a mission but ends up helping others find their match. #booksky #sophieirwin #aladysguidetofortunehunting

I used the shoulder straps to make ties on the side of this dress. It’s fun and improves the fit a lot. I like to sew, alter, remake, upcycle, refashion everything I can. #sewing #alterations #upcyclefashion #refashion #thriftfinds Thanks to @A Bronze Age for the inspiration.

“Make a Tiny Terrarium”. I like plants and I wanted to try to make a small terrarium. The lid lets in the sunlight and keeps the moisture inside. It’s like a small ecosystem. #plants

If you loved “Little House on the Prairie” you will like this more accurate account of the Ingall’s family history. #booksky #prairiefires #carolinefraser

#sofargone is a story about family dysfunction, generational conflict, Christian nationalism and the changes the Covid made in families. Grandpa went off the grid and now he’s in charge of his grandkids and his daughter is missing. Chaos ensues. #goodbooks #jesswalter

I went to a class and learned how to make an ear cuff. It’s like a earring that hugs the outside of your ear to stay on. No piercing required. #jewelrytiktok #jewelrymaking #earcuff #silverjewelry

If you have read any of this series, you know Millie is a magnet for trouble, suspicion & murder. This book is no different. A new house &new neighbors haven’t changed that. #booksky #freidamcfadden #thehousemaidiswatching

I love thrift stores. You never know what you might find. #thriftstorefinds #thrifthaul #sustainablefashion #shopsecondhandfirst

I try to set out clothes for the week because I wanted to get dressed/ready/out the door faster in the mornings. It’s working pretty well, here is this past week’s outfits. #ootd #ootw #whatamigonnawear #outfits

This is an amazing memoir by #michellezauner She writes about her mother’s death from cancer & their relationship. It’s incredibly open, & vulnerable but will rip your heart out. She describes grief so well, too well for me. I had to stop midway, I was too raw to continue. #cryinginhmart #booksky

I shortened the dress and made a shirt too. I like to sew, alter, remake, upcycle, refashion everything I can. #sewing #alterations #upcyclefashion #refashion #thriftfinds
