Random thoughts on a Saturday morning sprinkled with sunshine:

1. It’s official.

A new college year has begun. The twins are at Baylor now in their new apartments (which are still waiting on things to be finished). We are working on furnishing the main spaces and I was so proud of Westleigh when she called me yesterday to tell me she found a super discounted farmhouse television cabinet for $30.

I’m raising a new generation of bargain hunters.

2. I’m shifting over some of the summer to fall clothes and organizing closets today. I’m not sure why organizing makes me so happy, but it does. Have you ever used velvet hangers before? I found an entire package of 30 velvet hangers for $9.99 at Walmart.

3. If you want a fun idea to cover your porch swing chains like I did in the first photo? You can see that DIY here.

4. It was an amazing week on the blog. I shared:

WHEW.

It’s been a great week and it’s going to be an even more amazing weekend.

Here are all my fun finds from around the internet this week.
