The Shabby Nest: Frugal Friday~

Hey Kids!! Welcome to this week's edition of Frugal Friday! Last week there were almost 590 posts linked up. Wow!! That's a lot of great stuff to go through. And so I've decided that not only am I going to feature some of my favorites each week for my Frugal Round-up, but since there are just soooo many great things being linked up now-a-days (I'm hoping for over 600 links this week!) I'm going to start randomly featuring posts on Twitter and Facebook...so if you don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook yet, now might be a good time to start!! (You can easily follow by clicking on the links on my sidebar.)

And I apologize for the smaller size of the thumbnails this week, but Frugal Friday was wreaking havoc on my formatting each week, and I'm going to see if the smaller thumbnails keep that from happening.

So without any further ado...
This week's Fan Favorite was a post on how to create lighting and chandeliers with glass bottles from Style It Chic.

Now for my Frugal Round-up...

I just adore this coffee-table-turned ottoman from Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss!

Loved all the details of this darling Nursery Reveal from Simcoe Street.

The Crafty Scientist shared a fabulous DIY Yarn Light Fixture.

Finally, Adventures in Creating shared an amazing before and after cane chair makeover. Love. Love.

Now it's your turn...

Auntie Jesse said...: Hi!
Thank you for doing small thumbnails! I haven't been able to open Frugal Fridays in a couple weeks! I'm thinking maybe because the thumbnails were bigger? Did anyone else have this problem?; 10/21/11, 5:28 AM

Pam (Haslem) Dana said...: I linked up about 8 hours ago and it wasn't showing up. I assumed maybe a delay with Linky Tools. But, this morning it still isn't showing. The Linky party stops loading at item 139. Same place as it did when I linked up.

Is it just me or is it like this for everyone?; 10/21/11, 9:30 AM
