I hope you don’t think less of me. I hope this doesn’t ruin my reputation forever. I hope this doesn’t tarnish my frugal living reputation. I hope you don’t think I am a sell out. I hope you understand…
that I just had to have it. I actually made a purchase from Ballard Designs. I bought the Set of 3 Safety Pin Plaques.
GASP!!!!
{holding breath}
Crickets chirping….
I think I just heard a pin drop (pun totally intended).

I know, it is hard to believe. I found something I could not knock off. I have been thinking and pondering and trying to figure out a way to make these Safety Pin Plaques, but I couldn’t.
After 6 months of this I finally gave into temptation and purchased them. They were 20% off. Does that redeem my cheap good name?
Doesn’t it look amazing next to my knock off Ballard Design’s laundry sign?
I am one satisfied buyer! It just made the space complete.

Girl!! You be proud of your purchase! You loved it. You thought about it. You found it on sale!!! I’m so happy for you.
I don’t blame you for buying those, I’ve been drooling over them for a while now myself. I can’t really tell how they look in your home though b/c your pics are distorted.
I don’t think less of you in the least, in fact, I want them bad now myself. However, I really want multiples of one pin style… and I think I know a way to do a knock off. Not functioning or anything but the sense of it. This weekend baby!
Do take pics I gotta see.
Love them!!! I have wanted them since the first time I saw them. Hate to say it, but I am glad I am not the only one who had no way to knock them off. They look great!!!
They look great! I’ve been drooling over the Oversized Sunburst Mirror but even with the 20% discount it’s still close to $400 b/c of the the oversized item shipping fees..ugh. I’ll just dream about it. Oh well. Congrats on your splurge!
Oh, I have to admit that I really love these too!!
The new site looks great! The safety pins are cute too but some of the images are distorted for me as well.
I don’t blame you…they look great!
Ok, honestly I would love to be drooling over how amazing it is but the picture uploaded really bad. The image is REALLY distorted!!!! Hope you can get it fixed and re-post so I can oh and ah over it. Love your blog.
Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.
That’s funny—I thought these might be what you’d ordered! Oh well, a little splurge every now and then is OK. Your reputation is intact!
Phew!
Those are too fun, and I have NO idea how would even go about knocking it off. Good purchase! And they look great on your wall!
So funny you posted this because I just saw them a couple of weeks ago and WANT them badly!! They look adorbs hanging with your sign!
Thank you Chris!
I don’t blame you one bit, Beckie! Those safety pins may have been costly and time consuming to recreate. Sometimes it IS worth it to spend a little extra and save a lot of hassle. I’m having a hard time viewing your photos in this post–they look a little skewed. The one from Ballards is fine, but your photo looks like it was stretched out, if that makes any sense. Don’t know if it’s my browser or what!
Yikes, thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.
What room are they in? It’s hard to tell.
My laundry room
Saw your facebook status the other day about your purchase, and I was waiting to see what you got. Nice score and at 20% off…you can’t beat that! Great Look!!

You are to funny, we are all entitled to splurge… and I love them! SO DARN CUTE THE WHOLE GROUPING! P.S. I just got my Elmers package and I am stoked for the PAR-T-Y! I have to bust my butt pronto though. I mentioned you on my CraftOManiac FB page in regards to the Elmers Party. thanks, winks-jen
I think mine is coming tomorrow. Excited to see what you create. Thanks for the shout out.
They are adorable and they look perfect next to your sign! Everyone needs a splurge now and again. Mine was shoes yesterday, which is much less practical than something you are going to look at everyday.
HAHAHAHAHA. Way to go! I’m secretly happy that there is finally something that you couldn’t knock off. Thanks for making me smile today!
PS. Your new blog design rocks.
Thanks Amy Jo…I am glad I can make your day ;p
You must have “needed” them! 🙂
I soooo would have bought them! They are adoreable! Hope you’re feeling better today!
Would you consider making the laundry sign and selling it?? Let me know! Thanks
I bought the safety pins, but am choking on the cost of the laundry sign, and I don’t have one of those machines you talked about…
Thanks again!
