Am I the only adult who loooongs for a recess break?!? I can tell it's time for my recess when, what is usually fun becomes tedious. I love to design and create and paint, but when that seems to feel more like a "have to" than a "want to", I know it's time to change the routine. And that only means one thing to me---thrift and dollar store shopping time. Oh Yeah!!!

You find the best stuff for the best bargains at the thrift store!!!! I am coming up there to go shopping with you. And I'm not bringing much money b/c I will not need it. ;0)
really sweet! good find.
That is so cute and what a great deal!
The ever creative Joy!!!!! I need to come check out your thrift stores. Jackie
Those look so CUTE! Ok I have seen the little trees but those tall metal houses are just TOO CUTE!!
Well, I don't find myself wishing for recess much. Naptime on the other hand....
How cute! I like seeing all the Christmas stuff now so I can get ideas. You all are my designers of choice.
So glad you had a recess break! It always was the best time in school after all, wasn't it?
Great finds! You're getting all set for Christmas, hu?!?

What cute houses! I love the green trees by them too. Isn't Christmas fun!
How stinkin' cute is that??? I MUST have some of those trees. Are they from Dollar Tree? As soon as the kidlets wake from naps and the boys get home from school...I am burnin' rubber to the Dollar Tree!
I love it! I saw those trees at the dollar store, but I wasn't quite sure how I would arrange them . . . now I do!
So cute! I can never find that kind of stuff at my stores.
Love it!!!
So fabulously perfect together!!!!
Simply ADORABLE!
What a great idea of putting those together. I love the village.
That is so awesome! Why can't I find goodies like that? Take me shopping with you sometime!! :>)

Joy, I just love that...so simple, yet striking. Great find on the tall houses.
Oh you had me worried YOU were going on recess! I was nearly in tears. Plumbing gone wrong I can handle, alternator out I can handle JOY ON BREAK no way!
Nice find. You have a good eye.
The dollar store? the thrift store?..where do you live? we don't have things like that where I live!! It's stickers, plastic toys and bamboo baskets! Hee hee

Very pretty! I love those tress from the Dollar store. I have gold ones! You will see them soon.
You know, when I lived in Utah I could find amazing stuff like this at the dollar store. Once I moved to Washington I have been nothing but disappointed with the findings... I guess I'll have to keep looking for other resources :)
Recesses are great, aren't they? I'm thinking of taking one tomorrow! Sally
Cute! You are right. It doesn't always have to be complicated!
Oh I LOVE it!!!
1/3 of my home is down in thrift store finds. I love putting my own personal touch and the cost isn't bad either. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas and talent!
I hear ya! Thats why I take the weekends off now... Sometimes you just need time to re fuel~
A-mazing

How adorable is that! You are so creative!
Very cute. I just love a bargain!
Only you could take something that the naked eye may think is tacky (green trees) and make it breathtaking...all for $2. Gotta love it!
How cute! Love the little houses :)
That's the best dollar set up I've seen in a while. I love the trees too.
that is some seriously cheap therapy! I go to that same doctor . . . much to the chagrin of my sweetie. :)
