One of my favorite boutiques is The Royal Standard. I window shop there often and had my eyes on these...
It's a paper mache' trash can. You can buy them for 18.00 with your inital.
Or you can wait till they drop down to 5.00 and only a few letters to pick from. So I changed that "J" into an "H"...
Just because our economy is a bit scary doesnt mean we have to stop shopping in our favorite boutiques...
We just have to shop smart....So go ahead and shop...shop smart!

What a great find! No one would ever know it was altered!
Did you change your blog again? I like it!

Love your header! I so feel this way to.
Cute trashcan and if anyone can alter it you can!
Now aren't you the smart Lady to accomplish that...no, really you have such a talent. It looks much better as an "H" than a "J".
Another great idea. Nothin' a little paint can't fix.
Only you could change that J to an H and make it look perfect! I love all you manage to do with paint.
And by the way, the new header looks great!
thanks for the permission to shop......I will shop smartly ma'am! And so did you! Great deal! but you know, I could have used that "J" myself!! lol!

You are too fun...but I have to stay out of the boutiques. I get the "gimmies" to much. :)
You are so clever!! I would never be able to match the color!
I never would have thought of that, and if I had, I couldn't have pulled it off so well! Yea for you! :)
Love that! Very creative.
You clever lady, you! What a cute change-a-roo!
great idea to change the initial,, a paper mache' trash can?? I actually thought of that one time and then talked myself out of it thinking it was a dumb idea,, guess not. Should've run with that thought. Love your new look too by the way.
Great find!
Susie, what a smart idea. I would never have thought of that. I need to start thinking outside the box.
how creative! i love it!
I love it! You are so smart!
LOVE your ingenuity! You're very cleaver and now you have a wonderful new piece. :)
Clever!! I would never guess someone had changed it! I can see your whole new background now (so cute!)
very clever another great ideal...Barb
Where...did you get it? And, can I get it on-line? AND, the name sign is pretty fabulous, too. I love the birds. Do you sell those on etsy? Sorry for all the questions..but LOVE your style!
Very smart indeed!! :) And very cute!
You are very clever! I also love the new look of your blog:)
Very clever! Always nice to get something we've been wanting on sale!
Very smart!!! I never would have guessed that you changed it. You didn't do that on your report card as a child did you??? LOL
Have a great day!!!
Smart shopping... I like that I think I just have to make a run by my favorite boutique and see if they have anything on the clearance table!!

Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog and the encouragement you give!!!
Brilliant! Of course, it would be better with a "B". :)
Good for you, Susie! Do you remember that I bought one of those too from our store? Last year...love it! I think I paid $12 which was a pretty good deal.
You are incredible!!! GREAT idea.. just change the letter! LOVE it!
Nice job! Handy, too, that you have an initial that you can do that with--me, not so much! ;)

So cute! I don't think I would trust myself to change the letter but you for sure have it down! I love your blog. My husband was reading it with me the other night and loved your comment on the "I Married a 12 Year old" blog. Your house doesn't have to be showroom ready. He made me read that sentence a few times. Sometimes we forget that. Thanks for the reminder :)
Hey there!! Just wanted to drop by and let you know I LOVE my initial/name sign..it's great! Thanks!!
Hi Susie, What a clever idea! And very cute! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
Love little boutiques! I hope they make it in the current economy!
Very clever!
You're a patriotic American. Doing your part for the economy! Me too. Mimi
I gave you a blogger award! You can go to my page to check it out! Thanks for inspiring!
You are such a smartie!
I love that trash can! What a great find!
Great idea. Very creative vision.
You are so smart! No, you are a complete genius for making a trash can cute!
Oh what a fabulous find! I plan on using your line when I defend my shopping to my husband. :)

I read all of your posts although I don't comment very often. I did want to leave you a little message though to say that I love your signs! They're wonderful! I also wanted to mention that if you just wanted a little bit of centering, maybe some resizing, etc. done at your blog, I might be able to do a little tweaking and what not for you for free...just 'cuz. :) You can contact me at my blog. God bless.
Brilliant. It looks great!
Love the change and you got such a great deal!!
Love the birds on the sign!! So cute!!
