Around the Net

April 5, 2008 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 3 Comments

Here is some interesting reading from around the net:

The Feathered Nest has a very interesting spot for her pantry-and she’s made it beautiful to boot! Also included is a quick tutorial for making chalkboard labels for cannisters.

Living Beautifully, Frugally bought a $145 pair of shoes (on sale) and proves that more expensive doesn’t mean made better.

Thrifty Jinxy has a great list of samples and freebies to check out.

The Chief Family Officer has been running a series on creative strategies for coping with rising costs. Her “Unusual Ideas for Saving Money” has some good ones!

I can’t remember which blog I read this week pointed me at this neat idea for “Wilding Sticks“. They look like a fun idea to do with Buddy and Princess this summer. If it was your blog let me know and I’ll give you full credit.

Whipup had this one on homemade teas, tisanes, teabags, tonics and such. These sort of things interest me-but sometimes they are more the person I’d like to be rather than the one I am-if you know what I mean.

Enjoy

    Call me crazy, but the idea of having a pantry in the bathroom turns my stomach. If that was in a restaurant, I believe the Health Board would close it down.

    Thanks for the link love, Jenn!

    I totally know what you mean about the person you want to be vs. the person you actually are. My fantasies usually center around having the time to do lots of gourmet cooking and crafty things. 🙂
