I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday with family and friends...what a great way to kick off the summer season! I'm here at our beach condo soaking up the beautiful Alabama coast (yes...we are OIL FREE)...come on down and join us here...we will show you some wonderful southern hospitality! Now...on to the PARTY...I did not go out thriftin this week, but I did just finish a THRIFTY project...total cost was $1.50. I told you a while back that I was adding some THRIFTY curtains to my screen porch...well I did just that...with a big supply of white sheets (these came from two beach condos that we sold 3 years ago...they have just been taking up room in the linen closet...that place is way too full)...so the idea was born! I have been wanting to install some curtains out there and was planning on buying some white 100% polyester fabric...thinking that this fabric would hold up well outside and would be easy on the pocketbook, but then I remember that I had all those white sheets that were FREE and I LOVE FREE! So I guess you are wondering why it cost me $1.50...well ladies I had to buy some clips to hang them up with and yes...I spent a whopping $1.50 for six packages of clips! Each package was $5.99...then on clearance for .99...then 75% off the .99 price...at the time I bought these, I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but I knew they would come in handy and they did! Now...what did you find this week or what kind of THRIFTY project did you complete?

Love your curtains. I did the same thing in our master bedroom. Sheets for curtains and they turned out great. Great minds...
Linda, those curtains look go good. Free is always good. What a buy on those rings. I love the look of those they are different from the ones I have seen.
I just love it when things like this happen. It looks so inviting, I'll be right over :). Glad to hear you are oil free.
I LOVE the delightful results!!! But my favorite is that shabby, a.DOR.able church!
So cute. I can't believe it is just a white sheets. It looks great. I love your wicker chair with the flip flop cushion too. Adorable. Happy Memorial Day!
Hi Linda,
I look everywhere for those back in March and they were anywhere from 8-12 per pack of 6. You got lucky!!! And the curtains look great.
Your porch reminds me of the cottage I stayed in when I vistied Tybee Tides last month. They even had the curtains like that too. I've never been to AL coast. Actually, I had reservations when hurricane Ivan came in and they were canceled. I need to try and get back down that way again. I bet it's beautiful and you're so lucky to live there.
Well, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I just love your whole porch! The white curtain make it all that much better. I really miss my screened porch. I have a screen over the pool but it's not the same. I miss having the covered roof and sitting out there when its raining. Yours is great!
Hi Linda~
Your screened in porch is wonderful, and the curtains look
perfect! I love the twine ties you used on them, and the metal clips were not only a great deal, but they look fantastic with the curtains! Oh, and I also LOVE your porch screen door! :)
I hope you have a beautiful Memorial Day! :)
looks gorgeous Linda...so fresh and coastal...I can see a breeze coming in...I love the screened in porch look. Have a great day!~
Wow...beauty and a deal...who could ask for more?! You have created such a beautiful setting...love it!
Happy Memorial Day!
Cathy
They look so good!
Hi Linda...Hmmm...I can't get a photo for my link...not sure why! Can you remove it and I'll try again later? In the meantime...I LOVE your curtains! They look great and you can't beat that price! Happy weekend!...hugs...Debbie
Love it Linda! That is my kind of thrift redo!! They look so perfect. Great use of old unneeded sheets and a thrifty find!
Sheets are the best big piece of fabric you can find and since you already had yours...cheap!! Love the hooks!! They look really good, soft and beachy! Thanks again for hosting this very fun party!
Love your fabulous, almost free curtains! They give your porch a beachy, vacation feel and you gotta love that. Thanks for hosting your fun party each week!
Oh, the sheets really make the room look cozy. Great deal on the rings. Wow. Your porch is beautiful. What a great place to hang out. Thanks for hosting.
Curtains for $1.50 and more storage room in the linen closet. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
Plus, they look fabulous! Your porch is so inviting and I'm glad to hear you're oil free.
Thanks for having me this week, you're such a doll!
The perfect touch for your lovely porch. Purchasing a few little clips is nothing when the curtains are free. Your spot looks great!
Congrats on being oil free :)
Those curtains are amazing. I love that you repurposed something you already owned. I did something similar with drop cloths but I like the sheets much better...I think you have created a breezy effect. well done!
ps. love your blog!
It looks great!
I like how you hung the curtains, very clever of you.
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the invite to take part in your party.

Hi Linda, Your porch looks so welcoming, I could pull up a chair and spend an afternoon right there...
Thank you for inviting me to your party, I really appreciate your visit and your sweet comment. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Hugz,

Lovely curtains and most importantly, you know that they can stand to be washed again, and again, and again, and again and..... :)
I love the church planter with the peacock feathers - so sweet.
You are so smart, what could look nicer than crisp white drapes! How about a strip of burlap to tie them back with, might also look nice. I would love to visit your porch and share a cup of tea with you!!
Tracey
I love what you did with the curtains the burlap ties look great. Thanks for having my over this week. Blessings, Vicky
How lovely to be settled in to the cottage; the curtains look fantastic. I've been considering adding draperies to our conservator; the light is wonderful in the cooler months, but oh wow -- summer sun from 3 sides and the translucent roof can be a little much! I may steal your idea.
Happy Thrifting!
Cass

Hi Linda! Thank you for hosting the party! I believe I may have joined one other time, but then "lost" you...I fixed that, I became a follower! :-)
I grew up on the beach but am now a mountain girl. Each time we visit though, I get a little wistful...I'm doing some beachy crafts to fill my need for the beach!
Sharon@keeninspirationws
I do love the way you have hung these beautiful curtains I always forget to link when I have been thrifty but never mind it's fun to stop by and see what every one is up to
Love Dawn xx

Your curtians look great! What a great buy on the clips!!! I love your little church planter:)
What a great space! Everything looks so beautiful...makes me want to sit down and have a cup of tea...or rather curl up and take a NAP!
Your porch looks so inviting and peaceful, perfect for those hot summer days! I love how the curtains turned out, especially with the touch of twine you added.
Thanks for hosting, hope you had a wonderful weekend!

That looks great, Linda! I did this one year in my screened in gazebo ~ I may just have to look for my white curtains.

First of all I'd like to say War Eagle. hehehe...Listened to enough post game interviews and have ALWAYS wanted to say that! Anyhoo....just found your fun blog through another, you know the cycle. I spent many a summer at your beach and always look forward to coming back for more. I'll be participating in your Thrifty Tuesday very soon I am sure!
Great curtains! I can't count the times I've used sheets for curtains. I've moved 33 times since I was 21! Sheets and Iron-on tape made the most versatile & reconfigurable curtains! These look great and if you ever move...Well, I wish I could come on down and enjoy the beach with you all!
Sherry
Those curtains are so awesome! Thanks so much for hosting!!
