Before and After - Binky Style

I had a great week of shopping trash.  My favorite find of the weekend?

This New York fashion mannequin. 

Isn’t she special? I found her at a very artsy Saturday garage sale. 

While shopping, I noticed another girl picking out the coolest trash and I knew she was an expert.  Well, wouldn’t you know it she approached me and asked if I wrote on My Dear Trash.

“Are you Laura,” she asked a bit shy.

We hugged and got all giddy!  She told me because of what she learned on the blog, she is able to shop trash and stay home full-time with her children.  I was so happy to meet her and it made all the effort Kelly and I put into blogging worth it.

I also made it down to the shop at QcumberZ.  Here are a few photos of the space.

Don't you love the green man painting!

I’ve gone a bit crazy with color, but it makes me happy.

Here’s a dresser I finished this weekend.

And here’s Eden and Reef in there new P.J’s I picked up for .50 cents each at a garage sale.

Be ready for some pretty intense before/after photos.

Here Eden is in her new $10.00 pink troller I found thrifting.

With binky.

(Notice she's wearing her big brother's NBA wrist band).

After binky.

I'm not sure if I've ever had a before/after picture turn out so dramatic!

Getting her to give up this binky is going to be interesting.  

How was your weekend?
