vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
While holding on to these new “treasures”, I was asked to join the “Celebrate Spring Blog Hop”. I couldn’t say yes fast enough.

And you know me, if it’s a bargain, even better.
While I don’t live in an actual cottage. But an apartment in the hot Las Vegas valley. I LOVE cottage style, vintage collected pieces and accessories. Hence why I named my home “Cottage in the Desert”.
I have been blogging for awhile now. Browsing through my blog posts I have found 15 Thrifty DIY Projects Under $20 that anyone can do.
Each one can be tailored to your own taste. Some are from thrifted finds. Others are just creative crafts that anyone can design.
Not only have I done crafts and DIY projects since I have had a blog, but long before that as young child. I remember making a “thatched hut” from a shoe box for a school project, using flour and water as a glue for paper crafts, and cutting intricate snow flakes for Christmas to hang on our family front door. Then even designing my wedding reception in a new, fresh way.
While visiting my local thrift shop, I spotted a straw hat. It wasn’t the prettiest. But I knew it had potential. Today I am going to share how I designed my own Thrifted Straw Hat Boho Style Makeover.
With just a few components and a little time, you can have a stylish, fun and one of a kind hat for just a few bucks!
I just love hats. Baseball caps, visors, straw hats, knitted hats, you name it, hats are a great way to accessorize your wardrobe for any season.
